When passion for wine meets GIS expertise, QField 🍇💻 becomes the foundation for intelligent vineyard management.
Discover the story of Jojo’s Vineyard: Advanced QGIS symbology, map themes, and data capture combine to create an optimal tool for digital vineyard management.
Could this be the future of (Q)wine in Aotearoa?
In this presentation, you will be hearing the storry of OPENGIS.ch and Ian Beecher Jones – a passionate British winemaker - who co-developed an open-source workflow that will allow wineries to fully manage, document, plan, and monitor their operations using QGIS.
QField is the central tool for data collection in the vineyard – from mapping stakes to using modern map themes. This makes efficient vineyard management and "smart farming" incredibly easy.
You'll see how assigning attributes, defining zones, and integrating spatial data optimize planning and harvesting – even before the first grapes are picked.
Curious about how precise location data can transform vineyard management? Discover how QGIS and QField can be used simply and effectively in viticulture – and what that can mean for vineyards in Aotearoa, too.
