Smart Warehouse Software for Distilleries
You cannot manage what you cannot measure, and most aging warehouses are measured twice a year with a thermometer on a walk-through. A smart warehouse instruments the building itself: temperature, humidity, and pressure by floor, a live 3D digital twin of every rick and barrel, structural monitoring, and alerts when conditions drift. Spirit Sight is built to run that warehouse, and to get there realistically, because rickhouses are metal-sheathed, hazardous-location buildings that eat naive sensor deployments for breakfast.
In short: Spirit Sight turns aging warehouses into smart warehouses: an open sensor adapter framework (MQTT, Modbus, HTTP, SensorPush, NCD.io Class I Division 2 hardware) feeds environmental readings into a time-series store, the live 3D digital twin overlays temperature and humidity on the racks, plumb bob cameras watch structural integrity, and automations alert on drift, sensor outages, and out-of-family barrel loss.
Sensors without the vendor lock
The platform speaks to sensors through an open adapter framework: MQTT, Modbus, and HTTP adapters, SensorPush support, and NCD.io Class I Division 2 environmental hardware. Readings land in a time-series store built for years of history. Your hardware choices stay yours, and a sensor that dies is flagged the hour it goes silent, not the month someone notices the gap.
The digital twin is the interface
Every rickhouse renders as a live 3D model: ricks, rails, and each barrel in its position. Environmental overlays paint temperature and humidity onto the structure, occupancy and gap views show capacity, and clicking a barrel opens its record. The warehouse stops being a building you walk and becomes a system you read.
Structural monitoring included
Rickhouses depend on plumb bobs for structural integrity, and someone has to look at them. Spirit Sight watches them by camera and flags a shift, with alerts by notification the moment something moves. The building itself is under monitoring, not just the spirit inside it.
Built for the hard reality
Metal-sheathed rickhouses are a Faraday cage, coverage inside bonded premises is poor, and hazardous-location rules constrain what hardware can live where. The platform's adapter and gateway approach is designed around that reality, and because we are a Lexington team with construction history in these facilities, deployment is something we do, not something we hand to a third vendor.
From readings to decisions
Data is only smart when it changes behavior. Environmental history feeds the maturation models and the Virtual Master Distiller, loss rates out of family trigger leak alerts, and per-floor conditions inform placement. The warehouse learns, and the decisions get sharper every season.
