EVERY BOTTLE TELLS A STORY


By combining wine’s rich history with the trust of Blockchain, WineOnChain is the next step in enjoying authentic and traceable wines.

In a global market that’s increasingly conscious about the origins and integrity of products, establishing transparency and trust is paramount. This holds especially true in the wine industry, where the provenance, aging process and sourcing are vital for enthusiasts, collectors and casual consumers alike. To ensure the integrity and provenance of wines, UNISOT presents WineOnChain. This groundbreaking solution redefines traceability and verification in the wine industry. By securely capturing pivotal data throughout the wine supply chain and anchoring it on an immutable ledger, WineOnChain guarantees global traceability and offers consumers verifiable information through the UNISOT Digital Product Passport.

THE ESSENCE OF WINE VERIFICATION

Distinguishing a wine’s origin, variety and aging process can be quite a challenge in today’s vast wine market. Traditional supply chain methods often fall short in assuring the authenticity of a wine, leading to potential mistrust between vintners, distributors and consumers. WineOnChain steps in to bridge this gap by harnessing the power of Blockchain and AI. It meticulously records transactions and ensures transparency at each step – from grape cultivation to bottle sealing. This meticulous process facilitates an auditable trail for wine verification, restoring trust in the system.

WINE LABELING EVOLUTION

Accurate labeling in the wine industry is not just about the varietal or region; it’s about trust. Existing labeling methods can sometimes be vulnerable to misrepresentation or even fraud. WineOnChain refines this process by integrating digital technologies such as RFID/NFT labels and Smart QR-codes to establish a robust labeling system. This solution facilitates collaboration between wine producers, certification bodies and retailers, ensuring precise and current labeling information.

TRUTH. TRANSPARENCY. TRUST.

UNISOT, the Universal Source of Truth, is a groundbreaking Asset Traceability Platform based on Blockchain & AI technologies. It utilizes the transparent and secure nature of blockchain technology to provide transparency, traceability and efficiency in wine supply chain management. UNISOT’s WineOnChain solution, driven by Digital Product Passports, is poised to revolutionize the wine industry. The benefits are vast, ranging from enhanced traceability and transparency to substantial improvements in efficiency and consumer trust. By placing unique QR codes or RFID/NFC on each product, customers can use their mobile phones to scan and access a wealth of information through a Digital Product Passport. The Digital Product Passport contains information upheld by UNISOT’s Smart Digital Twin technology, ensuring instant availability of verified, current details about every product. WineOnChain contributes to sustainability efforts by enabling the tracking of eco-friendly practices and ethical sourcing in the supply chain. This empowers customers to support businesses that prioritize sustainability and ethical considerations.

UNISOT’s Chain-of-Custody (CoC) function provides secure and transparent traceability. It creates an accurate, timestamped record of each transaction, ensuring real-time visibility of a product’s journey from production to delivery. It involves authenticating each participant in the supply chain and thereby adding layers of accountability and trust. UNISOT’s CoC delivers undeniable proof of a product’s Chain-of-Custody, ensuring its authenticity.

E-LIABILITY

UNISOT’s E-liability function (ELI) offers transparent GHG emissions tracking across business supply and distribution chains, refining the current system and reducing inaccuracies and manipulations. Companies measure their direct (Scope 1) emissions, termed “E-liabilities”, in units of various gases like CO2, CH4, N2O and O3. These emissions are allocated to products using traditional accounting techniques. The product’s ‘price’ then reflects both its financial price as well as its environmental price. All these records are securely stored on the Blockchain. Finally, consumers can view the total emissions associated with a product through the UNISOT Digital Product Passport, aiding in informed purchasing decisions based on a product’s environmental impact.

UNISOT’s DIGITAL WINE PASSPORT

At the heart of WineOnChain is the groundbreaking UNISOT Digital Product Passport.
