What the Project Is
Greenshield develops algorithms and technologies to reduce and replace pesticides in agriculture. Focused on sustainable strategies for combating bioaggressors, the project is all about providing new ways to evolve with peace of mind in an uncertain environment. Evolving towards more sustainable practices is essential even though it may seem risky when yield imperatives and challenges come into play. With the expertise of professionals in agronomy, mathematics, and artificial intelligence, the project helps in adopting sustainable practices without compromising crop health. The platform centralizes data from various sources—field observations, sensor readings, detailed maps, and graphs—all designed to keep vineyard and crop conditions in check. This innovative approach ensures that every stakeholder in the wine sector can visualize, analyze, and make informed decisions with ease, all while staying grounded in sustainable values.
Main Benefit
The core advantage is clear: reliable, centralized data that empowers vineyard managers and winemakers. Key figures and facts include:
- 290 Domains
- 3,650 Plots
- 4,000 Hectares
These figures demonstrate the impressive scale and impact of agronomic monitoring in large networks of plots. The solution simplifies the tracking of each vineyard’s health by integrating a vast range of observations and sensor-driven insights.
Agronomic Monitoring in Viticulture
Agronomic Monitoring meets the needs of all stakeholders in the wine sector by centralizing essential data and streamlining field observations. Vineyard health becomes comprehensible at a glance with clear maps and graphs. The VineSpot mobile application enables simple and efficient field observations, eliminating the tedious act of data re-entry. With just one click, synthetic observations can be shared, and comprehensive reports can be generated to include health status, phenological stages, and even historical weather data. This ease of access means that even on busy days, keeping track of the numerous variables influencing vineyard health becomes almost effortless… a perfect blend of tradition and cutting-edge technology.
Innovate with Greenshield Technologies
Innovation here is not a buzzword—it’s a practical necessity. With solutions like Rayser, a revolutionary precision weeding device, the platform employs laser technology and embedded AI to detect and eliminate weeds with surgical precision, sparing both crops and soil integrity. Additionally, AgriHawk, the next-generation moisture sensor, uses innovative laser technology to monitor an extensive area minute by minute. This means expert guidance in setting up trials in plots, detailed data analysis, and careful model development tailored to specific needs. Experiment, analyze, model… these three steps articulate the process of innovating responsibly, ensuring agricultural practices are both effective and sustainable.
Connecting Data and Field Observations
Staying connected to the plots wherever they are has never been simpler. When vineyard managers, winemakers, and experts use the agronomic monitoring platform, field observations are seamlessly integrated. Data that is logged on VineMapper, for example, is directly accessible via VineCore, providing real-time responsiveness and ensuring no detail is overlooked. The platform centralizes all agronomic data—sensors, field observations, and decision support models—onto fully customizable dashboards. This integration reduces travel and guesswork, allowing those involved to react quickly to changing conditions and maintain optimal crop health.
Streamlined Communication and Informed Decision-Making
By simplifying health and phenological monitoring, the project creates a fertile ground for informed decision-making. The system is designed not only to visualize data but also to facilitate communication between experts and producers. With just one click on VineSpot, synthetic observations are easily sent to winemakers, while VineCore is capable of generating detailed reports that include historical analysis, weather forecasts, and risk assessments. This flow of information helps in bridging the gap between innovative agronomy and day-to-day vineyard management, ensuring that every decision is backed by solid data and expert insights.

Future Perspectives and Sustainable Growth
Looking ahead, the integration of agronomic monitoring with state-of-the-art technologies sets the stage for sustainable growth in agriculture. The combined expertise in mathematics, agronomy, and data science paves the way for solutions that are not only innovative but also meticulously designed to work with natural systems. Centralized platforms like VineCore and supportive mobile applications such as VineSpot are proof that technology can simplify complex agricultural processes, offering clarity and coherence to stakeholders. With a focus on experimentation, analysis, and modeling, this sustainable framework proves to be both resilient and adaptable in the face of modern challenges. Sometimes, the path to sustainable agriculture seems winding… but with tools like these, every step gains clarity and assurance. This dynamic approach ensures that agricultural practices keep pace with environmental changes and yield imperatives, making a lasting impact on both production and the planet.
