four zones · complete winery.
A Mexican winery has four operational fronts: red/white fermentation tanks with differentiated T, French/American oak barrel cellar with precise T+RH, cellar CO₂ life-safety + CFE sub-metering, and vineyard climate monitoring. AstreaIoT covers all four with the same platform.
red 20-28°C / white 12-18°C fermentation
submersible T probe per fermentation tank (cool red 20-25°C / hot red 25-28°C / white 12-15°C / aromatic white 8-12°C) · continuous log · WhatsApp alert to winemaker if out of range · optional cooling jacket actuation via Modbus.
French/American oak barrel cellar
T+RH probe per barrel room (Bordeaux 225L or Burgundy 228L) · target 14-17°C / 70-85% RH · LUX sensor (recommended darkness) · cellar manager dashboard. Compatible with traditional underground cellars (Casa Madero, Monte Xanic) and modern climate-controlled.
cellar CO₂ life-safety + CFE sub-metering
multi-parameter CO₂ + O₂ sensor per fermentation cellar · ventilation activation at 1500 ppm + immediate alert · STPS NOM-015. Main-panel meter with per-line sub-metering (fermentation · barrels · cooling · packaging) + power factor.
vineyard climate monitoring
Frost sensor per vineyard + weather station (T + RH + wind + rain) · pre-dawn frost alert · harvest planning.
Out of scope: pruning + agronomic management (that's viticulturist + winemaker decision). Also no laboratory enological analysis — that's your enologist. Platform monitors fermentation + barrel + cellar environment; your team decides the wine.
what we protect · what we prevent.
- +Red/white fermentation with precise T · winemaker profile defended · standard complete vintage
- +Validated barrel cellar T+RH · controlled angel's share · defended Reserva profile
- +CO₂ life-safety watched · winemaker + cellar hands protected · STPS compliant
- +CFE GDMTO sub-metering + power factor · quantifiable savings · over a million pesos annually in mid-size wineries
- +Backed voluntary OIV · premium brand reputation · defensible "every barrel monitored" brand narrative
- ✕Red fermentation tank at 32°C summer BC without control · bitter tannins · entire vintage lost
- ✕CO₂ accumulated in cellar · winemaker exposed · STPS accident + possible death
- ✕40% summer RH cellar · French barrels lose additional 6-8% · quantifiable in saved HL
- ✕Low GDMTO power factor without breakdown · invisible CFE penalty · capacitor bank without justification
- ✕OIV or COFEPRIS audit without continuous log · NOM-251 compromise · brand value at risk
eight use cases · four critical areas.
for the winemaker + cellar master.
Winemaker + Cellar Master + Production Director. Two cases · summer BC red tank rising, white stuck fermentation with low T. Profile + vintage.
for the cellar manager + master blender.
Cellar Manager + Master Blender + Commercial Director. Two cases · BC summer cellar out of range, Reserva room with premium French barrels exposed. Profile + premium pricing.
for the safety lead + cellar hands.
Safety Lead + Cellar Hands + Cellar Master + STPS Lead. Two cases · CO₂ accumulated in cellar with 8 active red tanks, malolactic fermentation barrels with residual CO₂. Life-safety.
for the CFO + viticulturist.
CFO + Viticulturist + Cellar Master + Operations Director. Two cases · low GDMTO power factor, pre-dawn vineyard frost. Costs + harvest protection.
three compliances · one platform covers all three.
For multi-vineyard wineries (Monte Xanic, LA Cetto multi-property), cross-property dashboard with compliance ranking + OIV evidence snapshots for inspector + consolidated CFE sub-metering.
from sensor to report · every five minutes · without human intervention
Five steps. They run in parallel across all your sites, all the time. When something crosses a threshold, the flow completes in under five minutes — alert delivered, response logged, inspector-ready evidence captured.
measure
Sensors measure temperature, humidity, current, door-open, leak and other magnitudes every five minutes — no operator required.
detect
The system compares each reading against the threshold configured per recipe · per site · per equipment. Threshold crossing triggers the flow.
alert
The alert routes to the right person via WhatsApp, email or push · per role and schedule configured.
respond
The operator acts from the dashboard or mobile app. The corrective action goes into an immutable log with timestamp + signature.
audit
Everything becomes part of the audit package · time series, critical events, corrective actions, NOM report ready in two clicks.
Five steps · no manual operators · no paperwork · no gaps.
five phases · per winery.
site survey + winery plan
2-3 daysTechnical visit + inventory of tanks (red/white fermentation), cellar, barrel cellar, Reserva cellar, CFE panel · deployment plan with winemaker profile + premium brand emphasis.
physical installation
3-5 daysSubmersible T probes tanks + T+RH cellar probes + cellar CO₂ sensor + CFE three-phase meter + Reserva LUX sensor · gateway with backup · without affecting production · optional vineyard kit add-on.
configuration + winemaker integration
2-4 weeksFermentation ranges per wine style + cellar thresholds + Modbus cooling jacket integration if applicable · OIV + COFEPRIS report templates · winemaker profile respected.
team training
2 daysWinemaker + Cellar Manager + Cellar Master + Safety Lead + CFO + Viticulturist · each role trains on their flow.
30 days of support + first vintage
30 daysAstreaIoT specialist available · first monthly report with fermentation + cellar + CO₂ + sub-metering · first 100% monitored vintage.
For multi-property wineries, per-winery deployment with standardized BOM.
common questions · before the quote.
does it integrate with my tank cooling jackets?
Yes · Custom Integration L3 · Modbus TCP or RTU with your cooling-jacket controller (Pall, Padovan, locally-built). Automatic activation if T exceeds threshold · winemaker still has manual override control. Integration time 2-4 weeks first time · reusable.
does it include vineyard climate monitoring?
Yes · weather station + per-vineyard frost sensor · pre-dawn alert · harvest planning. Fermentation + cellar + CO₂ life-safety + sub-metering available today; vineyard monitoring adds as an optional module.
are voluntary OIV audits backed?
Yes · pre-configured templates for OIV format + per-vintage evidence snapshots for inspector. International your Responsable Sanitario hands the evidence packet to the auditor. Premium wine with defensible "OIV-aligned monitoring" brand narrative.
what precision do the fermentation probes have?
Submersible T probes ±0.3°C in 8-30°C range · calibrated in accredited laboratory · NIST traceability. Sufficient precision to differentiate red fermentation (20-28°C) vs white (12-18°C) vs aromatic white (8-12°C).
how is pricing for a Valle de Guadalupe boutique winery?
Per-tank + barrel cellar model: SaaS fee per fermentation tank + barrel room + life-safety + sub-metering. Approximately between several thousand and tens of thousands of pesos monthly depending on scale (boutique 6-10 tanks vs large producer 30-50+). 90-day Hybrid Pilot default.
is the "every barrel monitored" brand narrative backed?
Yes · optional public dashboard for your website · per-bottle QR-code links to vintage + barrel-specific snapshot. Premium Bordeaux / Napa-style brands already do this. Clear differentiation vs industrial wine.
does it integrate with winery ERP (Lyver, vintrak, proprietary)?
Yes · REST API + webhook · integration with winery systems. Fermentation + cellar + sub-metering data feeds your central ERP · exportable per-vintage evidence snapshots for inspector.
