SmartWine: Intelligent End-to-End Cloud-Based Monitoring System

Abstract

SmartWine is an intelligent cloud based system for monitoring of the wine production process, starting from grape cultivation to wine production and storage. It is an end-to-end solution for intelligent, energy efficient and modernized wine production technology chain capable of both, real-time and offline monitoring of critical process parameters. SmartWine provides a solution designed specifically for users needs that allows 24/7 effective monitoring of every phase of wine production from any location in the world. SmartWine is based on a sensor network platform, utilizing off-the-shelf sensors. It is a cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) solution with centralized server system, allowing multiple users to simultaneously and transparently use the system. This paper presents the SmartWine solution implemented for vineyard monitoring. SmartWine secures the winemakers with sustainable management and monitoring practice on resources consumption, cost decrease for energy, water and pesticide usage towards more sustainable and higher quality of wine production.
