Ratoc Systems' Breakthrough in Sake Brewing Temperature Management

In an exciting development for the sake brewing industry, Ratoc Systems, based in Osaka, has announced that its groundbreaking IoT temperature management system, the 'Moromi Diary Cloud', has received official recognition as an eligible tool for the Digitalization and AI Introduction Subsidy in 2026. This program offers significant financial support, allowing businesses to receive up to 50% of the license costs as a subsidy, thereby facilitating greater technology adoption among sake producers.

Overview of Moromi Diary Cloud

The Moromi Diary Cloud system is designed to comprehensively support the entire sake brewing process. It focuses on essential temperature management for koji, yeast mash, and other crucial ingredients. Additionally, it oversees the temperature of storage and workspaces, maintains historical records for the three primary stages of sake production, and assists with the creation of necessary paperwork mandated by the Liquor Tax Act.

By leveraging IoT technology, Moromi Diary Cloud automates manual tasks and allows for real-time data visualization on mobile devices. Breweries can upgrade existing temperature management equipment to automatically gather temperature control data and enable remote adjustments. This solution not only streamlines labor-intensive processes but also fosters an environment conducive to focusing on critical brewing tasks.

The recognition of the Moromi Diary Cloud as a tool eligible for the 2026 Digitalization and AI Introduction Subsidy underscores its contributions towards operational efficiency, workstyle reform, and technological inheritance in the sake brewing sector. Here are some key benefits:

• - Automatic Data Logging: Eliminate manual temperature recording by automatically saving data from every location in the sake brewing facility.
• - 24/7 Monitoring: Users can check temperature readings anytime and anywhere via smartphones, enhancing oversight.
• - Remote Temperature Adjustment: Boost temperature management efficiency by changing settings remotely.
• - Automation of Documentation: Automate the creation of necessary documents, such as moromi production records, maximizing operational efficiency.

Utilizing the Digitalization Subsidy

For those looking to implement the Moromi Diary Cloud, each gateway incurs an annual license fee of ¥100,000 (excluding tax). Each gateway can support up to 12 temperature sensors through relay devices, maintaining connectivity up to 1 km away. There are no limitations on the number of smartphones or PCs that can connect to the system. The license also includes app update costs, LTE-M communication fees, and cloud usage fees, making it a cost-effective solution with a set fee of ¥100,000 per year after the third year, even for multiple site usages.

However, it should be noted that costs for hardware such as sensors and gateways are not included in the digitalization subsidy.

Understanding the Digitalization and AI Introduction Subsidy

Formerly known as the IT Introduction Subsidy, the Digitalization and AI Introduction Subsidy supports small and medium-sized businesses in enhancing labor productivity through the implementation of IT tools (software and services) aimed at operational efficiency and digital transformation (DX). Comprehensive information regarding eligibility conditions and application procedures can be found on their official website. Remember that hardware costs are not subsidized.
