Connected sensors and tools
Connected sensors and tools are modernising viticulture by enabling precise, optimised management of plots of land. They monitor key parameters linked to the soil, plants and climate, while connected equipment, such as tractor consoles and intelligent sprayers, increase the precision of interventions and reduce inputs. By centralising data on secure digital platforms, these technologies offer real-time monitoring, personalised adjustments and greater efficiency for more sustainable farms.
Other connected tools, such as tractor consoles, facilitate the precise control of equipment. These devices improve the precision of machinery, reduce inputs and increase the effectiveness of treatments.
Main uses
Advanced sensors
Sensors installed in the vineyard measure essential parameters:- Soil: humidity, temperature, density.
- Climate: wind speed and direction, rainfall, dew point.
- Plants: growth, water stress, vigour. These data enable :
- Precise management of water and nutrient inputs.
- Early detection of stress and disease.
Tractor consoles and ISOBUS
Connected consoles simplify the control of agricultural equipment thanks to :- GPS guidance: for optimised routes and uniform coverage.
- ISOBUS compatibility: for controlling different equipment with a single terminal. These tools guarantee greater productivity and reduce inputs.
Intelligent sprayers
Equipped with automatic regulation systems, these sprayers ensure :- Adapt flow rates according to speed and local conditions.
- Targeted spraying, limiting product losses and protecting the environment.
Connected systems for fleet management
Connected tools make it possible to monitor machine activity in real time, facilitating :- Planning operations.
- Monitoring equipment performance and maintenance.
Use and settings
Sensor accuracy
To guarantee optimum reliability, sensors must be :- Positioned correctly in the fields (on the ground or on the plants).
- Maintained regularly to avoid measurement errors.
Customised tools
Connected tools can be adapted to the specific needs of each farm:- Customised settings for sprayers based on volumes applied.
- Adjustable parameters in the consoles for guidance or equipment management.
Connectivity and synchronisation
The data collected by the sensors and connected equipment is synchronised with digital platforms, enabling :- Real-time access via mobile applications.
- Automatic logging for long-term analysis and monitoring.
Data security
Modern tools incorporate security protocols to protect sensitive data:- Storage on secure servers.
- Access control to prevent unauthorised sharing.
