Distillery solutions

Distillers and cellar masters: manage your production, from the warehouse to customs compliance

Between manual readings, fermentation drifts detected too late and a customs inventory that must remain flawless, every distillation puts at stake your yield, the quality of your ageing and the value of your stock. Onafis helps you manage fermentation, ageing and inventory in real time, to secure your yields, your compliance and your teams’ time.

What every distillation is at stake for you

Poorly controlled fermentation means a falling alcohol yield

A temperature deviation not detected in time can slow down or divert fermentation, with a direct impact on the yield and quality of your distillate.

An approximate inventory means value slipping away

The volume and alcohol strength of each cask must be precisely measured and traced to meet your customs obligations. Between two readings, the angels’ share keeps eroding the value of your stock without really being measured, and a leak can go unnoticed until a cask is completely lost.

Manual readings take up your teams' valuable time

Measuring levels, checking alcohol strength, monitoring tanks: every day, your teams spend time on repetitive tasks, at the expense of their real expertise.

Onafis turns this monitoring into true management

Detecting drifts as soon as they appear, controlling the angels’ share, a reliable and automated inventory, time given back to your teams: this is what our fermentation, ageing and inventory monitoring solutions bring, presented below.

Alkios — your stock under control, continuously

A reliable inventory should not tie up your teams for weeks

Manually reading the volume and alcohol strength of each cask, cask by cask, warehouse by warehouse, is the unavoidable step of your annual customs inventory, and one of the most time-consuming tasks of your operation. Between two readings, the angels’ share keeps eroding the value of your stock without anyone really measuring it, and a leak can go unnoticed until a cask is completely lost.

With Alkios, every cask becomes a continuous source of data: measure volume, ABV and evaporation in 45 seconds, without opening the bung, and detect a leak from 200 mL.

A single sensor, placed on the cask and transmitted over long-range LoRa, for an inventory available continuously rather than once per campaign: ATEX level 0 certified, ±0.2% vol accuracy across the whole spirits range (43-91% vol), 10 years of battery life without recalibration.

Monitoring of fermentation

Never discover a fermentation incident too late again

Between two manual readings, a fermentation that slows down or stops can go unnoticed for several hours, with a direct risk to alcohol yield and distillate quality.

Track fermentation kinetics in real time, without travelling
Get an alert as soon as a deviation appears, before it costs you a batch
Link monitoring to your temperature control for automatic correction
Save time on manual readings and sampling

The solution: Densios, our automatic floating hydrometer, immersed directly in your tank.

Fermentation probes

Densios

A floating probe continuously measures the density (plato, brix) and temperature of your must, whatever the container used. Adaptable to all types of spirits (tank, foudre or amphora), Densios secures the fermentation stage before distillation and automates your readings for greater working comfort.

Monitoring of ageing

Mapping

Thanks to cellar mapping, identify microclimates, understand and control the environment of your cellar to optimise cooling and save energy.

Ageing probes

The B_Evolution probe

Safety: measuring CO2 in your workspaces

Fermentation CO2 is a risk in confined spaces. Onafis continuously measures the atmosphere of your cellars and alerts before the critical threshold, which reduces interventions in confined spaces, covers your employer obligations and gives you traceability in case of inspection.

Frequently asked questions

Maybe we can answer your questions

Do Onafis tools need to be recalibrated for distillers?

Thanks to the validation of Onafis technologies by CEA Tech, our equipment has proven its longevity through rigorous testing. These tests confirm that no recalibration is needed for at least 10 years. Since 2020, the initial users have not needed to readjust their ONAFIS solutions.

My site has no network connection. Will that prevent me from using Onafis solutions?

Before any deployment, Onafis analyses your environment to advise you on the best connectivity options, so that your devices remain operational. We also offer tailor-made IoT solutions, such as dedicated routers and boxes, to ensure and secure your connection. The Onafis team takes care of everything for you!

I am not very familiar with IT. Will my team and I have difficulty using your software?

Onafis guides you at every step, from integration to daily use. We provide full training, including for customising alerts to your needs. Our tools are developed with field experts so that information comes directly to you. Alerts can be configured to be received by email, notification or SMS, according to your preferences.
