In WATSON, the wine pilot case focuses on a blockchain-based platform that enables stakeholders to access trustworthy information related to grapes and wine along the supply chain. The technologies used cover secure data sharing, real-time georeferenced data collection from Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, and image analysis techniques. The implementation of IoT technologies for monitoring environmental conditions in the vines and grapes transportation; integration of the information in the digital ledger and with the digital passport; wine colour analysis for information sampling and fast screening; and label processing for assisting visual impaired consumers. The last two focusing on assistance and higher integration of consumers.

Relevance to ALLIANCE

This pilot uses IoT sensors and Blockchain technology [https://alliance-heu-project.eu/sites/default/files/dissemination/ALLIA…] for guaranteeing transparency of traceability information. Similar tools are also employed in the ALLIANCE project, albeit in different value chains. Blockchain is used in all ALLIANCE deomonstrators [https://alliance-heu-project.eu/pilots], while IoT sensors are used to detect pesticide use and other field conditions in the production of organic pasta [https://alliance-heu-project.eu/pilots/rapid-pesticide-fingerprinting-o…].
