Sampling Plans leveraging Brix, TA and pH Heatmaps using AI and Satellite Imagery
Traditionally, the technical maturity of grapes (sugar, acidity and pH) is assessed through radomized sampling which is used to produce average values per block or parcel. This approach is labor-intensive and has a number of limitations:
Randomized sampling that aims to obtain an average value of grape maturity across a vineyard.
Samples are collected from limited locations, potentially missing crucial variations within the vineyard.
The process relies on subjective judgement, leading to inconsistencies, inaccuracies and sampling errors.
Data collection and analysis are time-consuming and hinder timely decision-making.
Our approach
Deep Planet's Grape Ripeness Heatmaps leverage the power of advanced satellite imagery and machine learning to divide the vineyard into maturity zones.. This feature generates spatially detailed heatmaps of the vineyard where each pixel represents the estimated Brix (sugar content or Baume), TA and pH level of the grapes in a specific vineyard location. Using the insights on maturity variability, we create custom sampling plants and direct growers, winemakers and operation teams to the right areas of the vineyard for accurate and representative sampling.
Benefits of Sampling Plans from Grape Ripeness Heatmaps:
Smarter Sampling: Identify areas with optimal ripeness for targeted sampling, reducing the number of samples needed while ensuring accurate representation of the vineyard.
Data-Driven Decisions: Make informed choices about harvest timing and resource allocation based on objective data, not subjective judgments.
Reduced Costs: Optimize labor and resources by focusing sampling efforts on the most critical areas.
Improved Grape Quality: Harvest grapes at peak ripeness for consistent quality and superior winemaking.
Gain a comprehensive understanding of their vineyard's spatial variability in grape ripeness.
Deep Planet is committed to providing the wine industry with the tools they need to thrive in today's competitive landscape. By harnessing the power of AI and remote sensing, Deep Planet is helping to make sampling a smooth and more effective process.
