2IMPACT OF ROBOTICS ON THE WINE INDUSTRY
Part 1: Research
The notable objective of this paper is to identify the impact of using robotics technology
in wine industry.
Robotics: It can be defined as the branch of technology which deals with development,
design, operation and application of the robots which are used in wide range of industries. The
latest development in the field of Information Technology has resulted in the growth of new
robots such as colossus, handle, star ship and digit. Numerous interactive robots are also found in
numerous industries such as iCub, Da Vinci, Aibo, Ekso. There are different categories of bio
inspired machines such as Mini Cheetah, Kamigami, Big Dog, and Hexa (Aich, Sain & Yoon,
2019). There are numerous robots which are used in our society as well such as Roomba, Beam,
BotVac, Braava Jet. There are numerous robotics technology such as Sphero, KOOV, Dash and
Dot and Photon. Most of the factory workers also use numerous industries such as UR, Titan,
Fetch and Drive Unit. Boston dynamic industries also uses numerous robots such as the Atlas,
Spotmini, big dog and alpha dog. Robotics technologies and systems such as Neo, ANYmal,
HRPC and Keepon are very much common in entertainment industry as well.
Wine Industry: It can be defined as the type of industry where alcoholic drinks are
manufactured from fermented grapes using a wide range of technologies such as the robotics
technology and Internet of Things. These technologies are widely used for different purposes
such as the conversion of the fruits to ethanol using different gaseous contents such as carbon
dioxide and heat (Boden et al., 2017). Qualities of both white, as well as the red wine, can be
significantly improved using robotic technology. The different style of wines and complex bio

chemical operations are done using the robotics industry. The production process of the wine
industry can be significantly affected using robotics technology as well. Wine industry is
significantly affected due to the advanced specifications of the robotics technology. The
selection of the grapes, management of the employees working on the wine industry can be
significantly affected using the robotics technology. Packaging, stage, and health effects of the
internal stakeholders of the wine industry can also be improved using the robotics technology.
Part 2: Brainstorming
Performance of each of the stakeholder of the wine industry can be monitored and
tracked in an organized manner using the facilities and specifications provided by the robotics
industry.
Robotics technology are increasingly used in numerous industries such as the
manufacturing industries, automobile industry, Information Technology industry and wine
industry.
Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Block Chain technology can be
incorporated with the robotics technology as it can help to optimise the business functions of the
wine industry (dos Santos et al., 2017). Combined effort from these technologies can have a
positive impact on both the growth and profitability of the wine industry.
Part 3: Regulation and Ethics
The quality of service of the wine industry can be purposefully enhanced using the
robotics technology. The four factors which makes this impact possible are as followings:

o Faster production of products using drone technologies.
o Rapid prototyping using the robotics industry.
o Convergence of the disparate technologies are done in an organized manner suing the
robotics technologies.
o The role of the IT experts of this industry is very much important to understand the
impact of robotics on the wine industry. Cover
Framing of the impact with Lawrence Lessig’s regulation
Regulations Explanation
Market The market value of the wine industry can be improved after using the
robotics technology.
Law The unethical work practices of the workers of this industry can be
tracked in an organized manner using robotics technology.
Architecture Each components of the wine industry starting can be improved using the
robotics technology as well.
Norms The organization and the ethical norms of using the robotics technology
can be improved using the robotics technology as well.

Part 4: Disruption
The manufacturing processes of the wine industry can be very much optimised using
robotic technology.
Process Description of the process

Events Monitoring of each of the activities of the wine industry can be done
using the robotic technology.
Activities The complexities in term of the business uncertainties can be quantified
using the robotics technology as well
Decision

The business decision of the wine industry can also be improved suing
the robotics technology.
Actors The actors of wine industry such as the customers and the workers can be
significantly benefited after using the robotics technology.
Outcomes The expectation of the consumers of the wine industry can be
significantly improved using the robotics industry as well.

Description of the process
Based on the above tabular description of each of the processes, it can be said that the
each of the components of this industry such as the selection of the raw materials, optimization
of the processes, and expectation of the consumers can be monitored suing the robotics
technology (Giacomarra et al., 2016). The entire wine making procedure of this industry can be
significant improved using the robotics technology as well. Verification of the products obtained
from the market can be done using the robotics technology as well as it can eventually help in
improving the quality of service offered by this industry and address the business uncertainties
(Mourtzis et al., 2019). Most of the business decision of the wine industry can be improved
purposefully in the wine industry using the robotic as well. The use of the robotics technology
can have a significant impact on both the internal as well as the external stakeholders of the wine
industry (Mourtzis, Zogopoulos & Vlachou, 2017). Internal stakeholders of the wine industry

such as the strategic team of this industry can understand the exact business requirements using
the robotics technology. The external stakeholders of the wine industry such as the provider of
the raw materials can understanding the quality of products they are providing using the robotics
technology as well.
Components would be affected by the change
Each of the components of the wine industry such as the quantity of the acid, alcohol
sugar, tannin and water can be improved using the robotics industry. The ingredients of the wine
can be decided according to the needs and requirements of the consumers of the wine industry
can be decided using the robotics industry (Teixeira et al., 2018). Each production step of the
wine industry such as the harvesting of the wine can be improved using the robotics technology.
Crushing as well as the fermentation of the wines can also be improved using the robotics
technologies (Shi, Guo, & Zhao, 2015). , as well as the bottling of the wines, can also be
improved using the robotics technology as well. The acid control activities of the wine industry
can also be improved using the robotics industry as well (Woodfield & Husted 2017). The use of
stabilizers in the control rooms can also be considered using the robotics industry. The additives
of the wine industry can also be monitored according to the type of drinks. The ingredients of
each of the drinks can also be monitored using robotics technology as well. The forgery as well
as the manipulation of the business data of the wine industry can also be significantly improved
using the robotics industry.
