Vitimobility - Increasing the ability to change in agriculture in the spirit of mobilization

Business Problem and Solution

The Vitimobility is a realized the drone system as a complex package in the field of precision agriculture for small farmers who cannot ensure a better monitoring of their vineyard. This monitoring is in front of the computer or mobile phone and consists of analysis of the leaf health, recommendation of good ecological treatments in case of disease detection with the help of AI, as well as weather conditions.

The drone has the ability to fly much closer to the canopy, it provides a more detailed look at individual vineyard areas. Observing a vineyard aerially 5 or 10 times a season enables vintners to assess the progression of leaf roll, for instance, or see how irrigation choices are affecting vigor in a particular block.

Drones are also better at helping vintners troubleshoot specific issues, such as where to fertilize, apply pesticides, prune, or perform differential harvesting, which translates into cost savings on pesticides, fertilizer and labor costs.

Situation-dependent data collection - changeable measurements

In addition to the traditional methods or as an alternative to that, The solution wants to build on drone measurements, in which case there is no need for the fixed installation of the sensors, the data can be measured during each flight, and with this the necessary measurement frequency can be determined in a variable way. Deviating from the constant quarter-hourly or hourly measurement frequency, the flying of the drones can be adapted to professional considerations, as a result of which we avoid the formation of unnecessary data, but we can still provide the necessary information to make effective decisions.

Greener production

Vitimobolity is also trying to offer a green alternative through the use of drones. In this sense drones are battery-operated, they are a greener alternative for renewable energy and in this way greenhouse gas emissions are reduced. This will help to reduce the usage of the vehicles for the personal field inspection, along with the  carbon dioxide emissions.

This kind of green transition is the result of the collaboration of the agricultural/viticultural industry and the ICT technology/communication. We believe that the real business sector and technology together are able to provide effective results in the industries.
