Search for Quality
For the Zonin family, the search for quality is the decisive factor in production. An absolute protagonist of viticulture, such as Zonin, has a duty to seek new horizons in order to provide consumers with products of ever greater organoleptic value. Thus began an impressive process based on two priority objectives: the renewal of vineyards, and the improvement of winemaking techniques. To achieve the first target, a massive work of vineyard upgrading began, with the planting of hundreds of thousands of new plants and the change of training systems. Alongside this technical operation is the desire to focus on quality indigenous grape varieties, to enhance territorial vocations, and to improve the qualitative yield of the great international grape varieties. As far as winemaking techniques are concerned, Zonin has carried out a massive upgrade of its cellars, which are now among the most modern in the world, and a continuous process of staff training, starting with the technical staff. Because for Zonin, quality is a mission: to allow everyone to drink the best from Italian vineyards.
NEEDS
Internal traceability
It is limited to the cycle of realization of the finished product and confined within the Zonin company.
Supply chain traceability
It is the defined set of organizations with related material flows that contribute to the formation, distribution, marketing and supply of Zonin products.
SOLUTIONS
Zonin has solved the problem of batch traceability by introducing Replica Sistemi's StockSystem warehouse management system (WMS).
Initially it focused its efforts on managing finished product; in the future an extension of the system is planned to manage the picking of raw materials that feed the bottling lines.
The flows managed are receiving and labeling pallets from production , storage picking from traditional warehouse with refilling functions from stock and reserve positions. Shipping and travel management.
