Real-time monitoring of CO2 in wineries
 
Early detection of dangerous gas clouds and logging of temperature, humidity and barometric pressure
 
Carbon dioxide is a by-product that is produced during the fermentation of wine. Since the density of carbon dioxide is heavier than that of air, it can easily overflow from the fermentation tank. If it falls to the floor of the winery, it forms deadly and undetectable gas fields that pose a great danger to staff safety.
 
 
With our system, CO2, temperature, humidity and barometric air pressure are continuously measured and recorded wirelessly at various points. And all in one device! If defined limit values are exceeded, the system immediately sends an email informing you of the irregularity.
 
This is what a data collection concept looks like:
 
Sensorsystem für CO2 Messung
 
And this is what your overview of the data looks like, for example:
 

Combined data acquisition for a complete assessment of the situation
 
By measuring various interrelated parameters, a holistic picture of the current state of the room is obtained:
 
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
    During alcoholic fermentation in wine production, yeasts convert sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. This produces a considerable amount of CO₂, which often escapes as a gas in closed fermentation tanks. In open fermenters, it escapes directly into the environment.
     
  • Temperature
    The temperature during fermentation is crucial for the development of aromas and the balance of the wine. Excessively high temperatures can kill the yeasts or produce unwanted aromas.
     
  • Humidity
    The right humidity helps to maintain the integrity of the wine during storage. It influences the rate of evaporation and the interaction of the wine with the oxygen in the bottle or barrel. An optimal humidity level helps to develop the desired aromas and flavors during aging.

  • Barometric pressure
    Barometric pressure can indirectly influence the rate of fermentation. At low air pressure, as occurs at higher altitudes or when the weather changes, carbon dioxide (CO₂) can be released more quickly during fermentation.
 
This combined data in combination with alarm triggers means that the situation can be assessed very well around the clock and alarms can be raised immediately if necessary. This system therefore makes a very good contribution to quality assurance in wine production.

Let's go for it!
 

 
   
Do I need programming skills or a technical background?
 
No, you don't need it!
 
Thanks to our all-round carefree package, we work with you to develop the view of the platform, add all devices and pair them with the corresponding gateway.

All you have to do is attach the sensors to the desired location and the system is ready to go!

You can make small adjustments to the platform yourself at any time, the system is very intuitive.
 

 
Some highlights of the system
 
Robust housing for harsh environments
 
The sensor is designed to withstand even the most demanding environments. The EM500-CO2 can also be operated flawlessly outdoors and in harsh environments.
 
10 Years Long Battery Life
 

The EM500-CO2 is equipped with high-capacity and easily-replaceable batteries. This facilitates the installation and maintenance process and reduces wiring costs.
