Using satellite imagery to chart grape readiness :
Oenoview is an image processing system that characterises growth parameters of vines and locates areas of uniform ripeness, thereby increasing the precision of harvesting.

Innovative use of an optical camera to achieve high-precision automatic grape sorting :
The Vistalys optical sorting system screens the fruit after photographing it, then analyses each grape against pre-set parameters. Unwanted material, such as stems, leaves and small green grapes, are evacuated with a well-aimed jet of air.

The revolution in de-stemming :
The “Winery” system vibrates the bunches and releases the grapes without splintering the stems. Perfect de-stemming…

"The combination of these two machines is remarkable: we manage to obtain nothing but grapes to put into our tanks with no other undesirables. And we do this all day long with the precision and reproducibility of machines." Fabien TEITGEN, Technical Director
