EVINAR is software for the digitalization of production processes in larger wineries. It enables harvesting management, grape purchase and pick-up, keeping a wine register with flow data, chemical analyses, added oenological additives, and wine transfers from the cellar to the bottling plant. Activities are interconnected by work assignments.

EVINAR contains numerous links/connections to various hardware and software (laboratories, scales, refractometers, pumps, screens, NFC/RFID cards, measurement sensors, etc.). It also enables connection to different ERP systems with which it exchanges data (synchronization of items, suppliers, goods receipt and dispatch, invoice entry, and harvest payments).

Used in some of the largest wineries in Slovenia.

EVINAR consists of the following main modules: Winery register, Harvest management and Work assignments.

The winery register enables the effective implementation of key activities in the production of wine in the winery. It contains the following main parts:

• Control panel with key information and shortcuts/quick-access buttons
• Work assignments for assigning and performing individual tasks in the winery
• Register of barrels and content in the winery (states, inventories, empty and full barrels, varieties, years, quality, sampling, etc.)
• Content flow register for recording all movements of contents in the winery (filling and refilling of barrels, flow of content between barrels, exit from the cellar, and level alignment).
• Register of oenological additives and other supplements (e.g., labor costs)
• Chemical analyses and sensory analysis
• Measurements of various parameters from connected devices (e.g., barrel temperature)
• Winery schemes with a graphic representation of barrels, content, and temperature.
• Integrations with ERP (accounting application) for item and inventory synchronization

Barrel and content register

A simple register of barrels arranged in cellars. Quick and simple overview of content, performed chemical analyses, added oenological additives, and all related flows in content creation for each barrel. It is also possible to quickly access the previous content of each barrel. If integrated with the accounting app, the barrels will connect to the warehouses in the accounting app. The current content state/stock will be specified in ERP as well..

Creating a new chemical analysis. Importing chemical analyses from laboratory devices (e.g., WineScan) is also possible.

IoT, sensors, measurements, and alarms

The software enables measurement collecting from various devices and data recording for each content, barrel, and cellar. The collected data can be displayed as graphs, filtered according to different criteria, or exported for further processing. The app has the option of alarm setting to warn of an exceeded measurement value.

Integration with ERP (accounting application)

Integration with ERP enables stock adjustment and recalculation of barrel content with each flow or oenological additive addition. Also, corresponding items and warehouse output and input registers will be created for the content.

The harvest management module provides comprehensive support for taking grapes to the winery and guides us through the following stages:

• supplier and vineyard list editing ,
• determination of purchase prices and supplements and deductions ,
• planning quantities for purchase in harvest,
• daily planning of quantities for pick-up
• grape pick-up at the pick-up point by recording various data on the quality and origin of the grapes
• issuance of purchase verification
• invoicing after the harvest
• making payments to suppliers
• crop registration (Bacchuss)

Supplier register

The supplier register enables recording all necessary data for crop purchase, invoicing, and payment. Integration with the accounting application enables automatic transfer of the supplier data to this module.

Supplier details

Vineyard register

The vineyard register enables accurate recording and review of data by year. The vineyard data can include number and variety of vines, spacing between vines, year of planting, cultivation method, soil type, exposure, etc. This data can then be used in various reports and analyses.

Vineyard details

In the vineyard, we can install weather stations equipped with various sensors, such as air temperature sensors, air humidity sensors, air pressure sensors, soil and leaf moisture sensors, and rainfall measurement sensors. This allows for automatic and continuous monitoring of key data in real time, which is the basis for predicting the risk of disease occurrence in the vineyard. The attached image shows measurements of temperature, air humidity, and air pressure for the last seven days at the selected station, where data is automatically recorded every five minutes.

Purchase codes and price lists

With the help of purchase codes, we determine which varieties and quality of grapes we will purchase and their price. The application allows different ways of determining the price according to criteria such as sugar level, vineyard area, quality, type of supplier, etc.

Scoreboard details

Supplier announcements

As part of supplier announcements, we record data on planned grape deliveries, as well as the pick-up announcement for each day. In a special table, we can monitor the realization or compare the announced and actually delivered in quantities. In the pick-up app, the pick-up can be limited to only announced purchase codes.
