Tracking kegs is time consuming and error prone. Keg Hounds uses the most advanced IoT technology allowing you to track the contents and shipped location of each keg.

The Fastest, Flexible, and Most Accurate Way to Track Every Keg

Tracking

The Keg Hounds solution allows you to track each keg throughout its life cycle. Track each keg as it's received, filled, stored, and shipped. Get an accurate count of which kegs a distributor has had and for how long.

  • Track keg size and maintenance

Barcode

scan using smartphone and external barcode

Scanning barcodes is a great way for smaller breweries to scan their kegs. Use your existing barcodes or purchase labels directly from us.

  • Works with your smartphone camera
  • Connect wireless scanners to smartphones and tablets for even faster scanning
  • Use laptops and desktops to scan without a smartphone or tablet
  • AI barcode scanning engine allows you to scan multiple labels quickly

RFID

quickly scan kegs and pallets without downstacking

UHF RFID uses radio technology allowing you to quickly scan kegs in bulk. Entire stacks of pallets can be scanned in seconds. RFID also allows you to locate specific kegs quickly.

  • Passive RFID technology that works without tag batteries
  • Adjustable power allows you to scan kegs from 1 ft - 10 ft
  • RFID scanners that work with any iOS or Android device
  • Easy to install tag without welding, or using adhesives

  • Dock door portals allow you to scan kegs as they are shipped
  • Add RFID scanners to palletizing stations to automatically group kegs and create pallets.

Features

The Keg Hounds solution provides a unique set of features for tracking kegs.

Keg Hounds is specialized at scanning kegs quickly and accurately. Our unique set of software, hardware, and RFID tags compliments other brewery management systems.

Do you integrate with other software providers?
