New IOT technologies for wine quality

After the success of Enoforum web 2020 - the largest technical-scientific congress on wine in Europe, organized this year in digital format and aimed at Spanish-speaking technicians, with more than 2,000 participants from 40 countries and 30 speakers from Spain, Italy, France, the United States, Australia, Argentina, Chile and South Africa, Vinidea has once again used the web environment to disseminate its innovations.

The first multilingual webinar for wine technicians was held on 12 June. Here are the recordings.

The more than 300 participants from 21 countries had the choice to follow the presentations directly in English or to listen to the simultaneous translation in Spanish, French or Italian.

Panagiotis Arapitsas from the Edmund Mach Foundation (Italy) and Gianni Trioli from Vinidea spoke about the impact on wine quality of the storage temperature and the new Internet technologies of the objects developed in the framework of the European project IOF2020 - Food and Agriculture Internet, which allow the remote analysis of wine and the monitoring of wine shipments.

• Panagiotis Arapistas presented the results of years of study on the evolution of the aromatic and phenolic components of wines stored at different temperatures, which made it possible to identify the chemical compounds that act as chemical markers of high temperature exposal, but also to highlight the different sensitivities observed from one wine to another.

• Gianni Trioli presented the following technology services:

"Wine Shipment Tracking" to monitor wine shipments (temperature, geolocation, humidity and shocks) in real time and independently, to characterize analytically the effects of storage conditions on wine quality, and to activate the guarantees of protection against accidents thanks to the Blockchain technology. Developed in collaboration with Wenda

"Remote wine analysis", to determine periodically and frequently the main composition parameters of musts/wines with considerable time saving and without specialized personnel, thanks to the elaboration in the FT-IR spectral cloud of a large number of calibration curves generated and constantly updated. Developed in collaboration with ISVEA

IoF2020 has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (grant no. 731884) to demonstrate the value of IoT solutions for the European agri-food sector. The partners in the project to develop the technologies presented in this webinar are ISVEA, Wenda, Vinidea, Sive, Vinideas and Highclere consulting.
