Clevertech North America, a Florida-based subsidiary of the family-owned Clevertech Group of Italy, delivers front and end-of-line automation scalable from a single machine to a complete line. The company combines seamless integration and operational reliability with practical attention to space, labor, and budget realities.
Scalable Design, Real-World Impact
Wineries can begin with the equipment that solves their most urgent automation challenges, then measure the resulting gains in throughput and efficiency. As budget and demand evolve, additional machines can be integrated into the line. This approach reduces upfront investment strain, shortens installation timelines, and keeps operations running smoothly during upgrades or full-line expansions.
Clevertech engineers its equipment — including depalletizers, case packers, carton erectors, partition inserters, palletizers, and stretch wrappers — with standardized mechanical, electrical, and communications interfaces. This ensures each machine integrates smoothly into existing operations without reengineering the entire line.
Winery Challenges, Clevertech Solutions
- Looking to lower bottling costs? Clevertech helps wineries converting to bulk glass select only the machines needed to make the transition efficient and cost-effective.
- Reducing production costs? Clevertech’s scalable design enables wineries to modernize bottling operations gradually, aligning with staffing realities and future growth.
- Replacing aging equipment? Clevertech enables wineries to replace outdated machines incrementally, improving reliability without overextending capital.
Engineering Expertise Meets Winery Insight
A global leader in front and end-of-line packaging machinery automation, Clevertech offers one of the industry’s most comprehensive portfolios of equipment. Every project begins with a focused consultation to understand production goals, constraints, and future plans. Clevertech engineers then conduct an on-site assessment to observe operations, measure line speeds, and identify inefficiencies or safety concerns, ensuring the final solution is tailored, practical, and future-ready.
Beth Zarnick-Duffy, Sales Manager for Clevertech North America, brings over 30 years of wine industry experience to help wineries improve line efficiency and automation.
“Clevertech’s equipment is engineered to meet the customer’s current needs, while also providing a future-proof design that maximizes the years of reliable service,” says Zarnick-Duffy. “When we meet with a new client, we consider not only their requirements and future expectations, but also the constraints they’re facing — whether it’s space layout, funding, or labor. We take the full picture into account when engineering and producing an application-specific solution for our clients.”
Standardized Software, Smarter Operations
Clevertech builds every machine with the same standardized HMI software, so operators trained on one machine are effectively trained on all Clevertech equipment. This unified interface streamlines onboarding, reduces human error, and simplifies cross-machine operation. It also minimizes spare parts inventory and lowers maintenance complexity, delivering long-term efficiency.
Flexible Investment, Seamless Growth
Clevertech supports wineries at any stage of their automation journey — whether they need a single machine or a fully integrated line. Thanks to a modular design approach, customers can start with the equipment that meets their immediate needs and expand over time with seamlessly integrated components. This flexibility protects cash flow while laying the foundation for full automation at a pace that aligns with their growth.
