Context and discovery
Nicola has met Safe vineyard through a trusted technician. Used to working with physical control units, he wanted to test a solution that would eliminate the difficulties related to installation and management of tools in the field.
The problem of physical control units
The control units in the field require accurate choices on positioning and a non-trivial management commitment. Furthermore, interpreting the data correctly can be complex for many winegrowers. In some situations, these issues reduce the effectiveness of the entire monitoring system.
Advantages of the virtual control unit
According to the witness, the virtual control unit offered by Vigneto Sicuro offers concrete benefits:
- monitors different microclimates per plot without hardware installations;
- provides simple and immediate data useful for the phytoiatric management of diseases;
- allows to optimize time and methods of intervention and the choice of products based on real conditions;
- allows you to switch from a schedule to a calendar to data-driven, treatment-by-treatment decisions.
Reliability and comparison with physical stations
After comparing the data of the virtual control unit with those of existing physical control units, the witness reports a high reliability: The results were almost identical.
Recommendation
For those looking for a practical, scalable and reliable tool to monitor vineyards with different microclimates, Vigneto Sicuro is a valid choice. The witness has already recommended it to colleagues in the sector.
Full Testimony
I met you through a technician who introduced me to this reality and it made me very curious. Working so far always with physical control units, I have noticed that it is becoming increasingly problematic for the winegrower to interpret the data of the control unit and manage the commitment linked to its installation: choose the point, dislocation, etc.
The potential of the virtual control unit is a great help for wineries, because each plot has its own microclimate. Being able to monitor every single plot with simple data, such as those of Vigneto Sicuro, is an extra step for the phytoiatric management of the vineyards.
Not only: using a virtual control unit you can optimize time and mode of intervention and the choice of products to be used. Based on the curves and conditions detected, we understand the situation of that vineyard and choose the best strategy for each treatment, instead of planning everything on the calendar at the beginning of the season.
I recommend it. I have already suggested it to colleagues in the sector and compared it with existing physical control units: The results were very reliable, almost identical.
