Grapes.
Millimeter precision from budburst to harvest.
From hillside wine estates in Stellenbosch to export table grape valleys, Véraison unifies canopy microclimates and root-zone telemetry to protect fruit quality and harvest yields.
A Complete System in the Vines
The Véraison Sensor Node is deployed directly onto vineyard trellising posts, continuously measuring canopy relative humidity, leaf wetness, and root-zone soil moisture. Encrypted data flows seamlessly to the Véraison Intelligence Portal, giving viticulturists spatial stress mapping, temperature curves, and disease warnings on any device.
Autonomous Edge Sensing
Solar-powered and self-sustaining. Deployed directly into the canopy to measure relative humidity, leaf wetness, ambient temperature, and root-zone soil moisture without ongoing maintenance.
Real-Time Desktop Intelligence
Spatial moisture maps, temperature decay curves, and predictive pathogen alert windows delivered directly to your office on any laptop or phone.
Diseases and anomalies we catch early.
Foliar pathogens, weather extremes, and microclimate shifts happen at the canopy level. By sensing continuously in the field, Véraison gives you the foresight to intervene before damage occurs.
Downy Mildew
Can rapidly defoliate vines, destroy fruit clusters, and slash harvest yield within weeks if primary infection is missed.
Leaf wetness duration + ambient canopy temperature + rainfall persistence
Powdery Mildew
Causes berry scarring and splitting, stunting shoot vigor and downgrading premium wine and export fruit.
Canopy relative humidity + sustained temperature degree-hours
Botrytis Bunch Rot
Destroys ripe grape bunches right before harvest, causing severe crop loss and sour rot contamination.
Prolonged surface moisture + sustained canopy humidity + pre-harvest rainfall
Frost Damage
Freezes tender spring buds and emerging green shoots in minutes, killing the season’s primary crop.
Nocturnal air temperature + cooling decay rate + wet-bulb temperature
Heat Stress & Sunburn
Stalls berry photosynthesis, bleaches skin pigment, and strips fruit of natural acidity and varietal aromas.
Solar radiation intensity + canopy microclimate temperature + vapor pressure deficit (VPD)
Wind-Driven Spray Drift Risk
Wastes expensive chemical applications, reduces canopy coverage, and risks off-target drift into adjacent blocks.
Real-time wind speed + gust variance + atmospheric thermal stability
