Using Sensor Technology to Manage Beverage Quality, Monitor Inventory and Eliminate Waste Webinar
The National Pollution Prevention Roundtable Food & Beverage Workgroup and the New Hampshire Sustainable Craft Beverage Program hosted a webinar featuring Using Sensor Technology to Manage Beverage Quality, Monitor Inventory and Eliminate Waste. The webinar was held on Wednesday, January 11, 2023.
Ian Purcell from BarTrack discussed the non-intrusive sensor technology that has helped breweries, bars, restaurants, and stadiums improve the draft beverage management process and reduce the amount of wasted beverages. The sensors and web-enable software provide better inventory management and improved draft system diagnostics through the monitoring of a dozen beverage specific variables. This, in combination with point-of-sale integration, delivers a comprehensive view of the causes and impact of waste on the bottom line.
