The combination of Rosemount with Penfolds and Lindemans brought together three of the world's premier global wine brands, creating one of the largest wine companies in the world with export markets in 80 countries. In its first year of operation, Southcorp Wines has more than 7,500 hectares of vineyards under production in the winemaking regions of the Barossa and Clare Valleys in South Australia, the Sunraysia region of Victoria and the Hunter, Mudgee and Orange districts of New South Wales. It delivers more than 10 million cases of premium wines for estimated revenue of more than AUD$1.1 billion. At the time of the merger, Rick Allert, Southcorp's Chairman, said: "Rosemount is an excellent strategic fit with Southcorp and also delivers significant cost savings and synergies through the consolidation of two businesses. In particular, we anticipate benefits from the combination of sales and distribution, product efficiencies, improved purchasing power and reduced administration costs." To upgrade and future-proof the IT&T network infrastructure of key winemaking, distribution and production sites, Southcorp's Byron Moult-Smith, Neil Martin and Graham Whitfield are working with KRONE Premis NET  endorsed installer, Gary Tennant, of Fibre and Data Networks (FDN). "We are progressively installing KRONE Premis NET Cat 5e and KRONE fibre solutions," said Byron Moult-Smith, Communications and Technology Support for Southcorp's South Australian and Victorian operations. "We outsource the remote management of our local area and wide area network infrastructure to IBM GSA whose main data centre is in Tullamarine, Victoria and they, in turn, work with various Southcorp IT&T project managers such as Neil, Graham and myself. "I am based at Magill in South Australia which is the network hub for the state's Nurioopta region and our main distribution centre at Outer Harbour in Adelaide." Southcorp Wines' new International Distribution Centre is located at OuterHarbour. The 30,000 square m site dovetails with the adjacent Mackenzie transport Centre which handles Southcorp's container packaging. "As well as being integrated for the smooth and climate-controlled transfer of wines in containers, the communications network for the two centres is also connected by a KRONE Premis NET structured fibre optic system," said Mr Moult-Smith.

Southcorp Wines has 100 sites around the world and they are connected in varying degrees to the network. The number of people per site ranges from one or two in a small vineyard to up to 450 at Nurioopta in the Barossa. "We use a Telstra OnRamp service for sites with 25 to 30 people on a local area network around a dedicated local server," said Mr Moult-Smith. "The major links for our accounting and warehouse systems go back to IBM GSA's Tullamarine site. "Most of our fibre communications networks are local campus-style connections for sites that span anything up to one kilometre in width, such as Nurioopta and Karadoc." Neil Martin, Communications Co-ordinator at Nurioopta explains that the local area network for which he is responsible has 12 network nodes using KRONE equipment. "Nurioopta is a 40-acre site in the Barossa Valley," said Mr Martin. "We serve as a crush and bottling plant for our Southcorp vineyards of Kalimna, Eden Vale, The Waltons and Seppeltsfield. "Primarily, though, we are responsible for premium and super premium Penfolds wine production. "KRONE is virtually the industry standard for structured cabling solutions which is important to us because our organisation is widespread," said Mr Martin. "Some of our sites are in the middle of nowhere but you can always count on one local Telstra technician to have a KRONE tool in his back pocket to provide support to the equipment. KRONE is also a local manufacturer which is important when it comes to surety of supply." Graham Whitfield is located in the Sunraysia region of Victoria at Karadoc near Mildura. As Electrical Supervisor, he is responsible for the automation and control of the Karadoc site. "Karadoc was the old Lindeman's site," said Mr Whitfield. "This year we'll be crushing between 50,000 and 60,000 tonnes of grapes and producing all the cask products for the group as well as some bottled lines. "We have 150 people using our network and our staff numbers swell to 250 during the vintage. We use a Telstra OnRamp service and KRONE Premis NET Cat 5e as well as KRONE fibre patch panels. "Like Nurioopta, Karadoc also runs a SCADA system through a fibre optic programmable logic control (PLC) network. "Our SCADA system controls tank temperature monitoring, the blending process, bottling line progress and various other winemaking processes, feeding the production status back to the local winemaker or engineer at a number of PCs distributed across the site," said Mr Whitfield.
