LASER-CASK : Light Assisted Spirit Evaporation Reduction- Counter Angel Share Kit

LASER-CASK（光辅助酒精蒸发减少-计数器天使分享套件）结合了领先的威士忌蒸馏酒商William Grant and Sons的制造专业知识和M Squared Lasers的创新激光解决方案。该项目的愿景是通过利用颠覆性的激光技术解决方案来快速、实用地检测蒸发“天使分享”损失和高度可变木桶的微小泄漏，从而逐步改变蒸馏酒（包括威士忌）成熟的工艺效率，这是传统威士忌成熟工艺的核心。LASER-CASK可以产生>10%的效率增益，同时还可以提高能源和环境效率。2011年，苏格兰威士忌的出口额为42.3亿英镑，占英国食品和饮料出口的25%。激光罐的开发将为酿酒商带来重大的盈利收益，产生专业激光器销售，并创造一个颠覆性的国际酿酒服务商机。

LASER-CASK (Light Assisted Spirit Evaporation Reduction- Counter Angel Share Kit) combines the manufacturing expertise of leading whisky distiller William Grant and Sons with innovative laser solutions from M Squared Lasers. The project vision is to create a step-change in process efficiency for maturation of distilled spirits, including whisky, by utilizing a disruptive laser technology solution to quickly and practically detect evaporative "angels share" losses and tiny leaks from the highly variable wooden casks that are central to traditional whisky maturation processes. LASER-CASK could yield efficiency gains of >10% whilst also improving energy and environmental efficiency. Scotch whisky generated £4.23bn in export sales in 2011 and represents some 25% of UK food and drink exports. Exploitation of LASER-CASK would have major profitability gains for distillers, generate specialist lasers sales and create a disruptive international distillery services business opportunity.
