Kegshoe, a keg tracking software provider, and Binary Beer, an Australian-based IoT innovator, just announced the arrival of KegLink sensors to North America. The who, the what? Ok, these are weld-free sensors that transform regular kegs into smart, digitally-connected assets.
The KegLink sensors deliver real-time location, temperature and coupled (on-tap) data, providing breweries, distributors and lessors with visibility and control over their sales and operations. This innovative technology marks the industry’s first weld-free, 5G keg sensor with coast-to-coast connectivity in the United States and Canada.
“After years of rigorous testing with leading breweries in the US, Canada, and abroad, we’re proud to introduce the KegLink sensors to the market,” said Michael Burton, CEO of Binary Beer.
“With KegLink data integrated within Kegshoe, breweries of any size have access to transformative data that was previously out-of-reach,” added Adrian Pawliszko, CEO of Kegshoe.
The sensors’ simple, weld-free design ensures easy installation and robust durability. Unlike traditional retrofit solutions that require costly, time-consuming installation processes, KegLink sensors can be easily attached to most kegs — including sixtel, quarter and half-barrel U.S. keg sizes — enhancing operational efficiency while reducing costs.
Rated for IP-69K, they’re an ideal solution for the harsh conditions often encountered in breweries and transportation. With their 5G connectivity, KegLink sensors deliver seamless data transmission across the country.
Breweries who have implemented KegLink sensors have seen a significant reduction in keg loss, reducing it to close to 0 percent annually. This presents the potential for considerable cost savings and operational efficiency across the entire supply chain. The arrival of U.S.-compatible KegLink sensors is a significant step towards the digital future of the brewing industry.
