BottleID

Individual bottle identities connect liquid products with provenance, quality and distribution records. Checkpoint Systems supplies BottleID, an RFID arrangement for glass bottles containing wine, champagne, spirits and perfume. Brands use the identities to follow products from bottling through distribution and purchase.

Radio frequency identification labels, or RFID labels, are designed for the liquid environment, where ordinary tags face reading challenges. Compatible reading hardware captures each bottle's unique identifier. Software integrates with the brand's existing management system to link that identity with operational records. Quality information is associated at bottle level, and provenance records connect the identity with designation-of-origin or tax-band serial numbers. The label, hardware and software work together as the bottle passes through reading points.

Brand teams receive bottle-level traceability and distribution records across the connected process. They use linked provenance and quality data for product checks and identify bottles reaching unauthorised markets. The same identities support stock management across production and retail locations. This brings individual bottle records into the existing management workflow for food, beverage and health-and-beauty businesses.
