Who it is for

  • Wineries that want automated fermentation control

    Temperature control, density and level measurement, nutrient dosing and red wine processes managed from one software and app.

  • Wine producers who need process records

    The software records temperature and fermentation curves and alerts by app or email when something runs off schedule.

Less suited to: Businesses looking for software alone: the vendor sells the software together with its own control hardware.

What it does

  • Fermentation temperature control

    The VinPilot Pro system controls fermentation temperature by tank and is operated via mobile app; the vendor states a 5-year warranty.

  • Monitoring and documentation

    Processes are recorded so temperature and fermentation curves can be reviewed, with alerts by app or email.

  • Winery overview

    An on-screen representation of the winery showing all important operations.

  • Tank level control (Radar)

    Measures tank levels by radar and can control mobile pumps for filling and blending.

  • Density measurement (Brix)

    Continuously monitors density during fermentation so temperature and other processes can follow actual progress.

  • Nutrient dosing (Enodose)

    Controlled nutrient additions during fermentation, time-based or density-based, with documentation.

  • Red wine and cellar processes

    Products for pump over (remontage), pulse-air, micro-oxygenation, red wine aeration and air humidification appear in the product menu.

  • Winery management from bin to bottling

    The vendor says the software controls and manages processes of wine production up to bottling.
