Your new best friend in winemaking.
Cogni™ is a wireless, continuous, barrel aging monitor. Cogni forms a network of connected devices, with any number of barrels. When levels slip out of user set tolerance ranges, Cogni sends an alert via mobile and desktop notifications. The winemaker can then review the current levels and recorded data to determine next steps.
Cogni helps track and mitigate potential hazards before they become problems.
These hazards include:
• Temperature & Humidity
• Phenol/Guaiacol
• Acetic Acid
• Free and Molecular SO2
• pH
• Alcohol
• Fill Level
Cogni devices
are configured in any number of barrels. Together they form a network of connected barrels.
Instance alerts 24/7
are sent globally via mobile, tablet and desktop notifications when levels slip out of user set tolerance ranges.
Quicker responses
insures less chance for spoilage or wine degradation in quality.
Cogni is game changer
A superior approach to current methods
Micro-Fermentation
is a pre harvest method used in order to check for smoke exposure. Grapes are collected into a large bucket, crushing and fermented over a few days to collect sample juice for testing. Instead of waiting many days or weeks to get the lab results, Cogni can be taken into the field to quickly check levels.
Barrel Aging
is the longest stage of winemaking, taking on average a year or more to complete. During the year testing thousands of barrels by a small team is nearly impossible and costly. Cogni continuously monitors SO2 levels, pH range, acetic acid, temperature and humidity, pressure and fill height at a much smaller cost.
Empty Barrels
is storage after the barrels are emptied for bottling. Current methods are to power wash the barrel, fill it with SO2 gas, seal and store for several months or more. If the gas level lowers during this time it can cause internal bacteria growth. Cogni is used to track SO2 and internal humidity levels.
Cogni helps throughout the barrel lifecycle
Provides value in every scenario used
Cogni is made by a California-based design innovation company. The company is a registered corporation in the state of Delaware.
