Matsuo Sake Brewery in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, is one of the historic breweries in Japan.
Since its founding by the seventh generation head, Matsuo Sake Brewery has been producing sake in the Arita region, which has been blessed with clear water and abundant nature for over 150 years.
Cloud-based security
In the pursuit of operational excellence, Matsuo Sake Brewery embarked on a transformation journey on physical security by utilising VIVOTEK’s cloud-based security service - VORTEX.
This improvement initiative aims to enhance security measures streamline workflows and maximise operational efficiency, all in pursuit of sustainable improvements for the brewery.
Brewery's challenges
Before utilising VORTEX, Matsuo Sake Brewery faced some hurdles and hoped to maximise product safety.
- Security Risks within the Winery: Concerns existed about security risks such as unauthorised access and theft, particularly regarding protecting valuable wine inventory. Measures were needed to prevent external intrusion and unauthorised access.
- Real-Time monitoring: In numerous instances, remote monitoring and real-time video retrieval prove challenging, if not entirely unattainable. This lack of real-time access significantly hampers the ability to respond to site conditions promptly.
- Challenges in Proper Resource Utilisation: Insufficient information regarding the proper allocation and utilisation of resources, including personnel and equipment, hindered efficient resource utilisation.
Reasons for VORTEX integration
VORTEX can provide comprehensive monitoring capabilities with high-definition video and audio feeds, allowing administrators to remotely monitor the operation of the brewery without interruption.
The ability to access live and recorded video footage from smartphones empowers managers to monitor operations from anywhere, at any time, facilitating swift decision-making. Leveraging VORTEX's advanced AI features enhances security measures such as intrusion detection and attribute search, while also improving operational efficiency.
Benefits of VORTEX
By utilising VORTEX, Matsuo Sake Brewery streamlines workflows, reducing operational complexities and enhancing productivity. Real-time insights provided by VORTEX empower administrators to make informed decisions promptly, enabling proactive responses to operational challenges.
Optimisation of resource utilisation and streamlined workflows contribute to cost savings, enhancing the brewery's profitability and sustainability. VORTEX's advanced security features, including intrusion detection and real-time alerts, minimise security risks and ensure regulatory compliance.
Results and customer feedback
The implementation of VORTEX at Matsuo Sake Brewery maximised operational efficiency and optimised workflows. By addressing key challenges and leveraging advanced technology solutions, the brewery enhanced productivity and cost-effectiveness while strengthening security measures.
This initiative established a robust foundation for future growth and success in the competitive brewing industry.
