BevScan
Developed in conjunction with the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI), BevScan is an innovative new device to analyse and classify wines without opening the bottle or disturbing the contents in any way.
Of particular interest to wine makers, manufacturers, bottlers, distributors and auction houses, BevScan is expected to find wide acceptance in applications such as:
Beverage quality control
Storage / cork damage
Temperature damage during shipping
Wine authentication
Wine substitution detection
The device uses a simple beam of light passing through the bottle as its measuring technique (NIR), thus providing an environmentally-friendly process requiring no chemicals, consuming very little power and leaving the wine or beverage totally unaffected. BevScan has been specifically designed for use by less experienced operators, making the testing very cost effective.
The unique power of BevScan depends on a technology called SimCal. By analysing a small number of known "good" bottles of wine, a similarity signature (SimCal®) is derived, against which unknown bottles are then compared. A SimCal® value or “score” is determined for each unknown sample and either a match or mismatch is signalled by a simple red / green indicator and an easy-to-understand graph on the touch screen. Remarkably, a reading can be completed in just a few seconds so the device can process large numbers of samples quickly.
