Precision Timing for Optimal Yield and Quality: Harvest and Maturity Monitoring for Vineyards

The Challenge

For growers and wineries, the difference between a good vintage and an exceptional one often comes down to timing. Harvesting at the precise moment of optimal maturity is critical for maximising yield, ensuring consistent quality, and preventing costly wastage. Traditional harvest and maturity assessment relies heavily on manual sampling, laboratory analysis, and historical averages. This process is:

  • Time-consuming: Lab results can have delays, impacting responsiveness.

  • Labour-intensive: Requires significant manual effort for sampling across large areas.

  • Spatially Limited: Provides only point-in-time data from specific locations, missing crucial variability across the vineyard.

  • Reactive: Decisions are often made after conditions have already changed, leading to suboptimal outcomes.

These limitations can result in missed harvest windows, inconsistent grape quality, reduced yields, and increased operational costs due to inefficient planning and potential wastage.

Our Solution

Deep Planet leverages cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) and high-resolution satellite data to provide dynamic, predictive insights into grape maturity and anticipated yields. Our proprietary AI models analyse multi-spectral satellite imagery captured throughout the growing season, tracking vine development, vigour, and stress indicators.

We fuse rich geospatial data with historical harvest records and meteorological forecasts to create a sophisticated digital model of your vineyard. This allows us to deliver precise, actionable intelligence that empowers you to make smarter, faster harvest decisions.
