Project
The SMArt LAbel as a guarantee tool in the WInery-customer trust relationship for Venetian high quality Pgi wines.
Problem to solve
The project is aimed to implement a smart label suited to guarantee the authenticity of Venetian Pgi wines. The development of new processes and technologies enable to codify the relevant information through a robust and secure encryption system. The correspondence between the QR code and the bottle is unique, with the main advantage to prevent fraud, and to give information related to the intrinsic quality of the products, the adoption of sustainability protocols, territorial and winery identities.
Main objective
The goal of the SMA.LA.WI. is to implement an intelligent label to guarantee the authenticity of Veneto PGI wines, through processes and technologies that allow the relevant information to be encoded through a robust and secure encryption system.
Specific objectives
The project is aimed:
- to define an informative system, which is able to guarantee the unique relationship product-winery in order to avoid potential frauds;
- to make the information of the intrinsic product quality exhaustive and reliable;
- to make the information of the traceability of inputs and products as well as of production processes exhaustive and reliable;
- to make the information about the sustainability protocols implemented by the wineries exhaustive and reliable;
- to transfer to the consumer the territorial value of the products as well as corporate values and identity.
A sample of wineries associated with Vignaioli Veneti is used as a case study, with the introduction of the system of watermarked labels that associate the QR code with the bottle. In addition to promoting a high-end positioning for these wines, the smart label is a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) model based on the one hand on the transfer of complex product information to the final consumer, on the other on the collection of strategic “big data” to guide commercial and product innovation policies.
