A NEW ERA OF VINEYARD ANALYTICS
Know what’s happening across your vineyard, vine by vine
Vitimate provides a highly detailed, affordable digital picture of your vineyard, using high-resolution drone data and our own purpose-built AI analytics to identify individual vines and turn vineyard data into information you can use.
The process begins by establishing a vineyard grid and asset register. Each vine is identified by its row and vine number, linked to precise GPS coordinates and given its own location within the vineyard record. This provides a permanent framework that only needs to be established once.
From this foundation, Vitimate can analyse the vineyard for missing vines and, with additional seasonal data, identify signs of poor vine health, including sick or unhealthy vines and potential trunk disease. Information can be recorded against individual vines, creating a vineyard record that becomes more useful as further data and analytics are added.
Data can be captured by us or suitably equipped vineyard operators themselves, then delivered as a straightforward report, supplied for use within an existing GIS system, or processed through Vitimate’s in-house solution so vineyard data can remain within your own systems.
VINEYARD MAPPING
Start with a digital map of your vineyard

Globally accurate vineyard maps are important for all vineyard management purposes in addition to forming the basis for our specific tools and reporting available through Vitimate. Aerial mapping using drone technology can yield high-quality maps to get an overview of your vineyard blocks. The geo-accurate vineyard maps are then provided to you for your use, as well as being held by us as the starting point for any subsequent work or operations.
ANAYLITICS & REPORTING
Vineyard Assessment and Reporting:

The report contains a comprehensive level of multispectral data and analysis and is also used for the establishment of a baseline starting point for any subsequent comparison. Included in the report is the complete evaluation of all current plant health, including identification of missing vines, damaged vines, vines affected by trunk disease, or any other plant health-related issues. All issues found are listed by exact row and vine number, along with GPS specific locations.

PLANT ASSET REGISTER
GIS-Based Plant Asset Register:

Record any information about a specific vine against that vine, as well as containing each vine's GPS location along with Vineyard Row number and Vine number. All this information is displayed as layers, overlays, or pop-ups on the Vineyard base map.
This can be provided for your own in-house GIS system, or it is set up on our system which allows us to utilise its high level of detail for any reporting or recording that is required by the client.
Seamlessly integrates with your GIS platform





Effortlessly pinpoint vines with precision by utilising your phone or tablet's GPS coordinates to identify them by their specific row and vine number.


Enhance your sampling approach and highlight vines of interest by employing color-coded health statuses for quick filtering purposes.


Capture in field data on the phone or tablet and sync it to the cloud for desktop viewing. Work offline - information will sync once connection has been restored.
SUPPORT
Customisation and Support:

As we are storing all data on our in-house GIS platform, we can add or annotate any additional information that is required by our clients on the platform to provide a single point of data recording and any associated reporting capability as required. Customise fields or classifications to suite your data aggregating needs.
