Cask-by-Cask Loss Analysis

Home > Features > Cask-by-Cask Loss Analysis

Vapour and Clyde Associated Engineers (CAE) have collaborated to create a native integration pulling data directly from the CASKLOG™ filling and disgorging OT Hardware.

Vapour's cask-by-cask loss analysis capability is an industry first. As Vapour "Follows the Cask", all filling or historical data related to the contents of each cask is tracked and analysed to provide a detailed picture of the loss profile of each and every cask.  All that's required as a minimum is 2x reference points: perhaps the OLA from the filling data and the most recent RLA.  

This can be automated further when combined with filling and disgorging OT hardware such as the CASKLOG™ filling and disgorging units from Clyde Associated Engineers (CAE).  

Value Drivers: 

  • Reduction in coopering costs through targeting coopering activity
  • Extend cask asset life
  • Intelligent quality and loss-based wood management
  • Maximise cask filling efficiency
  • Spirit loss reduction
  • Targeted warehouse repairs
  • Labour optimisation with reduced regauging activity
  • Identify optimal warehousing locations for maximum maturation performance
  • Improved data accuracy

How Vapour Compares?

Other Solutions
Vapour
Only works with investment in specialist hardware and software integrations
Vapour's Cask Loss Analysis algorithm works with or without specialst hardware. All that's required are a minimum of an OLA and an RLA
Losses at blend scale
Identify losses at individual cask level
Inefficient and costly manual regauge operations
Automated and scalable loss information from a value-adding activity
No individual cask-level loss information
Loss data linked to depth of cask information (provenance/batch info/lifecycle)
Tough to identify where losses are coming from, i.e. by cask type, supplier, location
Targeted angels share loss analytics enabled due to loss data being linked to cask position, warehouse and cask lifecycle
Angels share losses are generalised and difficult to pinpoint
No need for individual regauging at point of disgorge
Disruptive cask operations can cause leaks/losses
Less risk of leaks/losses from cask operations
Expensive closely coupled, custom developed data "uploads"
Flexible data ingestion on Vapour can accept data from any external system including CASKLOG™ filling and disgorging OT Hardware
Manually combining data from multiple systems prone to human and process errors
Automated integration, using managed integration approach

Key Features of Vapour's Cask-by-Cask Loss Analysis

Native OT Hardware integration

Native OT Hardware integration

Vapour's extensive external connectivity ensures data can be sent to Vapour via API's using Webhooks.  No need for manual FTP upload scripts that are prone to issues as soon as IT makes changes to firewall rules

Data pulled directly from Filling & Disgorging Head

Data pulled directly from Filling & Disgorging Head

Receive data from your filling and disgorging operations as soon as your team complete the process

Imported directly to cask record

Imported directly to cask record

Every action - such as filling, re-racking, regauging, internal movement, disgorging, or off-site dispatch - is recorded against your cask record, enabling in-depth loss analysis at both individual and collective levels

Interactive Data Analytics

Interactive Data Analytics

Detailed charts and graphs grouped by customisable site-by-site maturation loss parameters.  Exportable to BI & analytics tools for further analysis

No re-keying of filling or disgorging data

No re-keying of filling or disgorging data

Extracting data directly from OT hardware allows your teams to focus on value-added tasks instead of unnecessary administrative work

Automatic data ingestion

Automatic data ingestion

Filling data and provenance/batch data automatically ingested via Vapour integration

Vessel and cask timeline-based tracking

Vessel and cask timeline-based tracking

Like every action performing in Vapour, any cask activity such as filling, disgorging or regauging is recorded on each individual cask's timeline
