PROBLEM
In the context of digital agriculture, adopting advanced technologies is essential to improve efficiency and product quality.
In the wine industry, the main challenge is to accurately monitor and manage vine health and grape quality to optimize production and maintain high standards. Traditional monitoring methods can be ineffective or too costly in terms of time and resources.
Starting point
An important winery relied on manual methods to track vine health and assess grape ripeness. This approach required a significant deployment of specialized operators and did not always ensure a timely and accurate assessment of vineyard conditions. As a result, the company struggled to make quick and informed decisions regarding harvest timing and necessary agronomic interventions.
Solution implemented
To address these challenges, the winery implemented QUALYFruit, an AI-based solution designed for fruit quality monitoring and management. QUALYFruit leverages advanced computer vision and deep learning technologies to analyze vineyard images, assessing key parameters such as grape quality at different vegetative stages, the presence of diseases, and the overall health of the plants. These data are then processed to provide agronomists and vineyard managers with precise and timely recommendations.
Risultati raggiunti
The adoption of QUALYFruit led to significant operational improvements for the winery:
– operational efficiency: The need for manual inspections was significantly reduced, allowing staff to focus on higher-value activities.
– product quality: More accurate monitoring enabled optimal harvest timing, improving grape quality and, consequently, the final wine.
– data-driven decision-making: Access to detailed data and predictive analytics supported more precise agronomic decisions, contributing to more sustainable vineyard management.
In summary, integrating QUALYFruit transformed the winery’s decision-making process, making it more data-driven and enhancing both operational efficiency and product quality.
