The Australian Wine Research Institute wanted to migrate its existing Excel-based ferment simulator to the cloud. The simulator uses a swarm analysis algorithm to predict the result of a fermentation.
Offered as an additional module to AWRI's WineCloud software, it lets winemakers monitor and analyse ferments, running "what now" and "what if" analysis to get the best result for their wines.
Users log in via another software portal without re-authenticating, using a single sign-on protocol.
While a ferment is running, adjust the tank and run a further simulation to modify the potential outcome.
After a ferment completes, adjust the data and actions to analyse how it could have performed.
A particle swarm analysis algorithm matches the ferment curve of collected data to predict the ferment's result. Ferments are set up and monitored within the software, keeping a record of previous ferments and their results.
