Following the success of the FROST Project, Vinewatch is delighted to offer the latest hyperlocal monitoring system for vineyard management.
The system shows exactly what is going on in the vineyard at bud height, including leaf wetness, leaf temperature, soil moisture, soil temperature, soil NPK, GDD as well as temperature and humidity.
The system collects data every 10 minutes and the grower has the opportunity to decide when the system will send alerts.
Ladybird environmental sensor
The Ladybird is a hyper local multi-sensor designed for vineyard monitoring.
With LoRaWAN connectivity providing up to 10km range, long battery life (up to five years), and a fully weatherproof rugged design, the Ladybird 5 serves as the central hub for precision agriculture monitoring systems. All settings and data are managed via the Ladybird Dashboard, which provides data visualisation, export,alerts, automated reporting, forecast and prediction features.
