The event was held the past November 15 in Sant Sadurni d’Anoia (Barcelona\, Spain). \nThe conference\, themed “Sensorization and AI: The Future of Oenology\,” highlighted the growing importance of integrating extensive sensor networks and artificial intelligence into winemaking processes. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Presentation: ACE Congress of Oenology and Cava 2024 (CIAEC24)\n 1 file(s) 4.28 MB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n\n\n\nPujol’s presentation at CIAEC24 focused on how VitiGEOSS leveraged tools based on artificial intelligence\, remote sensing\, in-field sensors\, and satellite Earth observation to improve vineyard operations. The platform\, available on demand\, offers capabilities like long-term weather forecasting\, monitoring crop phenology\, and assessing plant physiology\, including water requirements. These features allow winemakers to make informed decisions\, optimize vineyard performance\, and enhance sustainability. \nOne of the key aspects discussed was the platform’s ability to detect diseases early and generate alerts for targeted treatments\, reducing the use of resources and minimizing environmental impact. During the presentation\, Pujol also emphasized the decision-making tools incorporated into VitiGEOSS\, which assist in planning tasks such as harvesting and fieldwork while prioritizing resource efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. \n \nThe VitiGEOSS platform was validated throughout 2022 and 2023 collaboratively with renowned wineries\, including Familia Torres in Catalonia\, Symington in Portugal\, and Mastroberardino in Italy. \nThe conference was organized by the Catalan Enology Association (ACE)\, the College of Oenologists of Catalonia (CEEC) and the Vine and Wine Catalan Institute (INCAVI) and gathered experts providing significant perspective on the knowledge that oenologists need regarding how\, when\, where\, and why to incorporate sensorization into their work. \n  URL:https://vitigeoss.eu/event/eurecat-presents-vitigeoss-platform-at-ciaec24/ CATEGORIES:Conference ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://vitigeoss.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/VitiGEOSS_ACE_Pujol.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20241002 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20241005 DTSTAMP:20260501T084420 CREATED:20241005T085504Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241007T085903Z UID:5440-1727827200-1728086399@vitigeoss.eu SUMMARY:VitiGEOSS vineyard business service presented at CCIA 2024 DESCRIPTION:VitiGEOSS coordinator Eurecat has participated to the Conference of the Catalan Association for Artificial Intelligence (CCIA 2024)\, which took place on 2-4th October 2024 at La Salle – Universitat Ramon Llull (Barcelona). \nAlex Pujol\, researcher at the Applied Artificial Intelligence Unit of Eurecat Technology Center\, presented the poster paper “Optimization of vineyard task planning: Constraint Programming based tool with customizable domain”\, which shows the improvements of VitiGEOSS business tool after a year of validation with data from SYMINGTON\, Familia Torres and Mastroberardino\, three top European wine producers. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Poster CCIA 2024: Optimization of vineyard task planning: Constraint Programming based tool with customizable domain\n 1 file(s) 743.85 KB\n \n \n Download\n \n \n \n\n\n\nVitiGEOSS Business Service is a scheduling tool that assigns tasks to work teams on specific timeslots.
