How it works
Commands with risk levels
Predefined commands per equipment type, for the roles each winery enables. High-risk commands need approval from another authorized person or presence confirmed with the equipment's QR code.
Safeguards on every command
A checklist before confirming, a STOP button with no confirmations for whoever operates the equipment, and a record of every command. The equipment's physical stop always wins.
Sensors in the fermentation curve
Readings from probes and equipment linked to a tank complete the fermentation curve automatically and trigger the tank's alerts.
Works without internet
The bridge device stores readings if the internet drops and sends them once it is back; meanwhile it accepts no new commands.
Standard protocols, real status
Modbus TCP, MQTT, HTTP, Modbus RTU, OPC-UA and Siemens S7 implemented, not yet verified in the field. The bridge device runs on a Raspberry Pi or a mini PC.
Manual and automatic, together
Sensor data and data entered by hand live in the same record for each vessel. Without sensors, Cepaos works just the same.
Manufacturer platforms
The Things Network
Implemented, not yet field-verifiedLoRaWAN probes the winery already has: temperature, pH and density from a probe linked to a tank flow into the fermentation curve automatically (at most one point per hour).
