Wine Industry’s delicate balance with climate challenges
Climate change is throwing a curveball at the world's winemakers. Rising temperatures, unpredictable weather patterns, and increased water scarcity threaten the very foundation of this age-old tradition.
VineSignal, our innovative vineyard management platform, empowers winemakers to navigate these challenges with data-driven precision.
VineSignal Benefits:
Optimal Harvest Timing: Predict grape maturity with accuracy, ensuring grapes are picked at their peak for exceptional quality.
Yield Forecasting: Plan ahead for efficient winery operations and resource allocation, minimising waste and maximising profitability.
Proactive Disease Management: Detect early signs of diseases and pests, enabling timely interventions to protect your vines and minimise crop losses.
Precision Fertilisation: Optimise nutrient delivery to your vines, improving soil health and reducing fertiliser waste.
Enhanced Soil Carbon Sequestration: Promote healthy soils that capture carbon, contributing to a more sustainable future.
Smart Irrigation: Conserve precious water while ensuring optimal vine health.
Your vineyard’s early warning system
By continuously monitoring vegetation health and moisture,
Detect Anomalies Early: Identify deviations from normal growth patterns, signaling potential issues like disease outbreaks, water stress or nutrient deficiencies.
Reduce Variability: Identify areas of the vineyard that are underperforming or experiencing stress, allowing for targeted interventions to improve overall yield and quality.
Predict Irrigation Impact: Our two-week leaf moisture prediction allows you to visualise the effects of your irrigation practices, enabling proactive adjustments to optimise water usage.
VineSignal: Precision Irrigation for Optimal Soil Moisture
Maximize your vineyard's water efficiency and minimize irrigation costs with VineSignal's advanced soil moisture mapping. Our cutting-edge technology can accurately map your entire vineyard to a depth of 1.5 meters, providing you with the granular data needed to make informed irrigation decisions.
By understanding soil moisture levels at a deep level, you can:
Optimize Water Application: Avoid over- or under-watering, ensuring your vines receive the exact amount of moisture they need for optimal growth.
Reduce Water Waste: Minimize runoff and leaching, conserving precious water resources.
Improve Soil Health: Promote healthy soil structure and microbial activity by preventing waterlogging and drought stress.
With VineSignal, you can achieve more sustainable and efficient irrigation practices, leading to healthier vines, higher yields, and reduced operational costs.
Brooke (Viticulturist)
“We had a hunch that the block was affected by temperature, but now we have data to back up our irrigation decisions.”
Tom (Grower)
“The industry is lagging and VineSignal gives us more data to make key decisions.”
VineSignal assists growers and winemakers to increase harvest efficiency and drive sustainable production.

VINE HEALTH
VineSignal can reduce variability and disease by tracking daily, weekly and monthly changes in vegetation (NDVI). Our unique two week prediction delivers an accuracy of 93% to see the future impact of irrigation and fertiliser application on your vineyard.
LEAF MOISTURE
Lower your vineyard’s vigour variability by monitoring daily, weekly and monthly vine moisture change (NDWI). VineSignal’s two week leaf moisture prediction allows you to see irrigation impacts and proactively make necessary changes.
SOIL MOISTURE
Optimise your irrigation costs with our market leading soil moisture mapping data. VineSignal can map your entire vineyard to a depth of 1.5 meters to give you the data to back up your irrigation decisions.
PREDICT YIELD
Maximise your yield and quality with VineSignal’s hands off yield predictions using satellite imagery and AI. VineSignal forecasts grape tonnage by block and variety with 90% accuracy. Make better decisions and keep your buyers informed with accurate early, mid and late season predictions.
SEASON SUMMARY
VineSignal gives you a visual summary of last season from bud burst to vintage. You can use it make any off-season adjustments for nutrient and variability.
VINE GEO LOCATION
VineSignal can automatically geo-locate each vine in your vineyard and help you monitor them better. This feature is the basic building block of traceability supporting transparency in the wine supply chain.
DYNAMIC IRRIGATION
VineSignal’s dynamic irrigation scheduling helps you to optimise irrigation application, to help you conserve water resources, save money and address excessive vigour and vine stress.
HARVEST DATE PREDICTION
We use satellite imagery to detect and predict sugar levels. Work with us to predict optimal harvest date for your maturity requirements.
PEST & DISEASE DETECTION
Work with the Deep Planet team to give early warning, and track the spread of powdery and downey mildew, botrytis, red lead roll, Eutypa, Phylloxera and other disease conditions.
SOIL ORGANIC CARBON
We use satellite imagery to help you baseline and monitor soil carbon levels throughout your farm. Identify degraded areas and promote practices that support carbon sequestration.
SOIL & VINE NUTRIENTS
Detect nutrient deficiencies such as nitrogen and potassium in the early stages to optimise input application and achieve healthy vines and grapes. Use our Vine Nutrition app to continuously measure nutrition on any vine across the vineyard in place of lab test.
MAP VINEYARDS
VineSignal’s machine learning models detect vineyards with 98% accuracy. Observe trends in vine-growing regions and map vine hectares.
