The Case for Partnership
Why Mytra × ScanToProve?
Mytra builds robots that can physically move 1,360kg payloads in 3D storage systems — heavy enough to handle full barrels of whiskey. ScanToProve is the intelligence layer that knows what's in each barrel, where it should be, and whether it's compliant. Together, we create the world's first automated barrel warehouse.
Mytra
Waltham, MA | $120M Series C funded
3D robotic storage: vertical + horizontal movement
1,360kg payload capacity — can lift full barrels
RFID-integrated: reads tags during storage & retrieval
Blockchain provenance with automated chain of custody
US TTB, UK HMRC, EU Excise compliance reporting
Bulk RFID assignment for 10,000+ barrel inventories
Market pricing, maturity tracking, PDF valuations
Multi-tenant white-label for bonded warehouse operators
The Breakthrough: Scan + Store + Track — Automatically
1,360kg
Payload Capacity
Full bourbon barrel weighs ~230kg. Mytra handles 6 at once.
3x
Storage Density
3D storage means more barrels per square foot of warehouse
Auto-RFID
Scan on Move
Every barrel is RFID-scanned during storage and retrieval
Real-time
Cloud Sync
Every movement updates ScanToProve: position, provenance, compliance
The Problem
Barrel Warehousing Is Stuck in the Past
Moving, storing, and tracking barrels is one of the most labour-intensive operations in the spirits industry. Barrels weigh 200-250kg each, and warehouses store tens of thousands.
Today: Manual Barrel Operations
✗Forklifts and manual labour to move 200kg+ barrels
✗Dunnage warehouses: barrels stacked 3-4 high on wooden rails
✗Finding a specific barrel can take hours in a 50,000-barrel facility
✗Angels' share measurements done by hand with dip rods
✗TTB compliance: manual counts and handwritten records
✗Barrel damage from forklift handling costs millions annually
✗Safety risk: barrel falls are a leading cause of warehouse injuries
Tomorrow: Mytra + ScanToProve
Mytra robots move barrels automatically — no forklifts needed
3D storage: barrels stored and retrieved robotically in dense racks
RFID scan on every move — ScanToProve knows exact barrel location
Angels' share tracked digitally — measurements logged in cloud
TTB compliance reports generated automatically from scan data
Zero barrel damage: robotic handling is gentle and precise
Operator safety: humans stay out of the barrel storage zone
Target Customers
Major Distilleries
Jim Beam, Wild Turkey, Maker's Mark — 50,000-2M+ barrels. Massive operational savings potential.
Bonded Warehouses
Third-party storage for multiple distillers. Compliance-critical. Multi-tenant ScanToProve ideal.
Craft Distilleries
1,700+ in the US and growing. Smaller scale but high tech adoption willingness.
Scotch & Tequila
Scotland (20M+ barrels), Mexico (growing). International expansion opportunities.
Technical Architecture
How Mytra + ScanToProve Connect
Mytra's robots handle the physical barrel movement. ScanToProve provides the digital intelligence layer — every barrel movement triggers a cloud update, a blockchain record, and a compliance log.
