Brewery Keg Tracking App Concept

Core Concept

iOS app using LiDAR to scan brewery refrigerator rooms and create 3D maps for keg inventory management. Target users: brewery staff who need to efficiently locate and track kegs in cold storage environments.

Key Features

LiDAR 3D Scanning

  • Initial room scan to create accurate 3D model of refrigerator storage space
  • Periodic re-scans to update layout changes
  • Precision tracking for stacked and multi-level keg storage

Manual Area Division System

Suggested zone categories for brewery operations:

  • By Beer Type: IPA section, Lager section, Stout section, etc.
  • By Status: Full kegs, Tapped kegs, Empty (ready for pickup)
  • By Batch/Date: FIFO inventory management zones
  • By Temperature: Different climate zones if applicable

QR Code Integration

Each keg has QR code containing:

  • Empty weight and volume specifications
  • Keg ID and manufacturer details
  • Link to dynamic inventory data

Registration & Tracking System

Keg Check-In Process:

  • Scan QR code to register keg
  • Log contents (beer type, ABV, batch number)
  • Record pricing information
  • Assign to storage zone on 3D map
  • Set delivery/brewing date

Keg Check-Out Process:

  • Scan QR code for identification
  • Update status (tapped, empty, returned)
  • Log removal date and destination
  • Update 3D map location

Search & Navigation

  • "Find [Beer Name]" - highlights location on 3D map
  • Filter by status, type, date ranges
  • Visual path finding to specific kegs
  • Inventory alerts for low stock or expired products

User Journey Considerations

  1. Initial Setup: Full room LiDAR scan and zone definition
  2. Daily Operations: Quick keg registration and location updates
  3. Inventory Management: Visual browsing of 3D map for stock checking
  4. Order Fulfillment: Efficient keg location for bar/restaurant delivery

Technical Requirements

  • iPhone 12 Pro or newer (LiDAR capability)
  • Integration with existing brewery management systems
  • Offline functionality for cold storage environments
  • Export capabilities for inventory reports
