Labour Costs in Manual Fermentation Checks
Definition
Quotes from oenologists detail full-time dedication to manual measurements, replaced by continuous automated systems, yielding direct HR savings.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 40,000-80,000/year (2-3 FTE at AUD 60-80k salary for monitoring tasks)[1]
- Frequency: Continuous during peak fermentation seasons (2-3 months/year)
- Root Cause: Lack of real-time sensors requires manual interventions morning/night across multiple tanks
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Australian wineries spend AUD 50,000+ annually on labour for fermentation monitoring. Automation saves full-time equivalents in human resources.
