Operating Standard
Three numbers that change the economics of a vintage.
Scepter does not sell features. It sells measurable outcomes — energy, accuracy, and total visibility over the fermentation process.
30%
Energy Savings
Closed-loop automated solenoid control replaces manual cooling cycles — measured reduction in cellar energy spend across pilot estates.
0.001 SG
Industrial Accuracy
In-tank specific gravity resolution at industrial measurement accuracy — calibration-lab class instrumentation, sealed and field-verifiable.
24/7
Total Traceability
Continuous AI monitoring captures hidden anomalies—like overnight temperature spikes from power outages—that routine morning checks miss.
The Smart Layer
Three capabilities that eliminate blind spots.
Industrial control hardware on the cellar floor, multi-modal forecasting in the cloud, one closed loop in the middle. Scepter governs every connected peripheral with the precision of a calibration lab — recording every fluctuation.
02
Fermentation Automation
Flawless repetition of fermentation profiles. Style-specific recipes — Bordeaux extraction, Burgundian whole-cluster, sparkling base — replicated to the decimal across vintages, tanks, and cellars.
03
Hardware Excellence
IP68 sealed and fully wireless. Built for industrial longevity and sanitary by design, featuring a multi-protocol radio with LoRaWAN edge resilience.
Enterprise Platform
Built for teams. Built to scale.
Scepter ships with the enterprise foundation your winery operations demand — from day-one setup to multi-site governance.
Zero-Touch Provisioning
Scan the QR code on the box, drop the sensor in the tank, and monitor instantly. No Wi-Fi passwords, no IP configurations, no IT department required. Your team is live before the first punch-down.
< 90 secFrom unboxing to live telemetry
Enterprise Access Control
Share live fermentation data with your head winemaker, cellar hands, or external consultants with one click. Granular roles ensure every team member sees exactly what they need — nothing more.
