November 22nd – (Napa, CA) — Simple Labs has been named a CES® 2023 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Food & Ag Tech category for the Cogni™ Wine Barrel Monitor. The announcement was made prior to CES 2023, the world’s most influential technology event, set for January 5 – 8, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Cogni™ is a patented, wireless, continuous, integrated barrel aging monitoring system that in the wine industry can track temperature, humidity, phenol/guaiacol, acetic acid, SO2, pH, alcohol and fill levels, making real-time data accessible to winemakers from anywhere worldwide. By forming a network of connected devices, with any number of barrels, if levels slip out of user-set tolerance ranges, Cogni alerts via mobile and desktop notifications. Winemakers can then review the current levels and recorded data to determine next steps.
