Healdsburg, Calif.—Rack & Riddle announced it upgraded its facilities with a fully automated still wine bottling line. The custom crush provider, which specializes in sparkling wine production, reports the robotic system provides increased output and accuracy for its clients. Installed in late 2017, the bottling line designed by Mas Pack Packaging USA, is now fully operational with all testing and staff training completed. With the new system in place, production line staff decreased from 13 workers per shift to five, but Rack & Riddle claims no jobs were lost in the process as employees were cross-trained for other positions within the company.
