Case Study: SteadyServ Technologies achieves real‑time keg visibility and optimized restocking with Digi International

Crafting the Future of Beer with the Internet of Things

SteadyServ, a startup born from a brewmaster’s frustration with finding draft beer on tap, set out to fix a broken, manual keg-inventory system that cost bars, distributors and brewers time and sales. Industry estimates show about 20% of beer orders are wrong and managers spend hours weekly on inventory by pen and paper, leaving restocking to guesswork and losing customers when favorites run out.

SteadyServ’s iKeg system replaces guesswork with IoT: RFID-tagged kegs sit on weight sensors that feed data through a Digi ConnectPort gateway via Zigbee into a cloud-based SaaS app integrated with POS. The result: real-time inventory and automated orders, less labor, fewer wrong shipments, happier patrons (including live-status signs), and increased revenue and operational efficiency for bars, distributors and brewers.
