The benefits of digital transition, traceability, logistics and blockchain for the wine supply chain

Andrea Aparo von Flüe, professor at La Sapienza University of Rome

The first talk will be given by Andrea Aparo von Flüe, professor at La Sapienza University of Rome, physicist, researcher and expert in Strategic Planning and Technological Innovation, entrepreneur and business executive, author of books and articles on the topics of technology, networks, strategy and management.
His speech will focus on the topic of digital transition and how traceability, logistics and blockchain can also benefit the entire wine supply chain. Indeed, it seems to be the right time, because both the market and European legislation demand it, to automate and streamline logistics, make energy savings and supply chain sustainability.

At a time of conversion, considering also the recent legal requirements for new nutrition and environmental labeling for bottles, it is not yet clear to all industry players what technologies are in the field, the costs to be incurred, and the timeframe required for the digital transition.
The second talk will be an opportunity to delve into these important and urgent technological issues led by Carlo Carminati Sales Director of Sait srl, a software house based in Franciacorta that has been working with Radio Frequency Identification automatic identification technology since the late 1990s, bringing numerous solutions and benefits to the manufacturing, fashion and wine industries.
The solution called Wineability, which is the result of years of experience and co-design with Franciacorta wineries, will then be presented and it will be seen how with automatic identification technology together with blockchain – public and independent, decentralized and immutable as the perfect superpartes tool – we can manage the traceability of products and raw materials; give assurance of authenticity; increase the perceived value of the product and brand; protect and enhance the supply chain; revolutionize the way value is exchanged, ownership of goods is transferred, transactions are verified; and engage end consumers.
