“You are doing all this upfront investment, so you have clarity on what’s happening in your winery, so you can make the best business decision,” says Dan Strengier, CTO, InnoVint, explaining how InnoVint’s WINnovation Award winning technology uses AI to make data capture easier. “Any document, whether it is coming from an email or a printed bill of lading with complex composition from wine you bought. Analysis from any machine, any computer or any hand-written note, we want to ingest that automatically and turn that into structured InnoVint data.”
InnoVint’s Intelligent Winery Workflows shows how AI can serve as a practical partner in the cellar, helping winery teams work smarter without adding unnecessary complexity. Launched in early 2026, it brings AI directly into winery operations, making it easier for teams to capture, access and act on production data without interrupting their work. AI work order creation, for example, allows cellar workers to dictate instructions on the go, automatically transforming spoken requests into structured tasks. This hands-free approach reduces data-entry, streamlines communication, and helps keep production moving efficiently.
The technology is already earning enthusiastic feedback from winemakers praising the image upload feature for making information entry significantly easier with the AI’s impressive ability to interpret data from a photo and enter it correctly into the system.
These early experiences demonstrate the potential of AI to simplify everyday winery tasks and make existing production information more accessible and useful. By integrating intelligent workflows directly into a platform wineries already use, InnoVint delivers innovation where it can have an immediate operational impact; helping winery teams work smarter and reducing rather than adding complexity to the process.
