[Las Vegas (USA) = AVING News] Simple Labs participated in ‘CES 1’ held in Las Vegas, USA for a total of 5 days from January 8th (Thursday) to 4th (Sunday, local time). We first introduced ‘Cogni Wine Barrel Monitor,’ a wine barrel monitoring technology designed to simplify the winemaking process. For this technology, Simple Labs received an innovation award in the food and ag tech category at this year’s CES.
Simple Labs aims to clearly share information generated during wine barrel maturation by developing technological solutions tailored to the constantly changing problems and demands of the wine industry.
Regarding this, an official said, “We promise to support all wine makers equally regardless of size and nationality, and provide personalized service after understanding customer needs in-depth.” In addition, he said, “Our creativity and innovation come from the complex diversity of opinions, actions, and causes,” and emphasized the company’s principles consisting of emotions, intelligence, social and environmental awareness, curiosity, empathy, and kindness.
Simple Labs announced Cogni as a patented wireless perpetual integrated barrel aging monitoring system. It was developed as a device to track the temperature, humidity, phenol and guaiacol, acetic acid, sulfur dioxide gas, acidity, alcohol, and volume of wine barrels. Real-time data and reports are sent to mobile and desktop notifications, making them accessible to winemakers around the world. It is also possible to form a network connecting multiple wine barrels with multiple Cognis to review recorded data and help make decisions.
“This feature gives wineries immediate access to data from anywhere in the world, allowing them to detect potential problems in the winemaking process before they occur,” said Mike Slone, founder of SimpleLabs and inventor of Cogni. It is a big advantage to be able to manage . “In addition to optimizing the winemaking process, we can also reduce labor costs at the winery facility and the cost of sending samples to external laboratories.”
