An innovative digital system that allows viticulturists to monitor the evolution of their production from their mobile phones and enhances extroversion was developed and implemented by the Region of Central Macedonia and the Regional Unit of Kilkis, in collaboration with the producer group “Efori Gi” the winemakers operating in Kilkis and the American School of Agriculture.
With the help of this innovative digital tool concerning the wine-growing zone of PDO Goumenissa wines, viticulturists will be able to have real-time information about the conditions prevailing in the vineyard and the data entered in the system, such as humidity and soil temperature, air humidity and air temperature. Immediate benefits include better management of irrigation, disease and overall cultivation.

Under the digital system, the data collected by the installed field sensors is “transferred” to the online platform developed by the American School of Agriculture and is available to all interested parties.
In his intervention, Dr. Elias Kalfas, from the Office of Strategic Plans of the American School of Agriculture, pointed out that there is a complete IoT system (Internet of Things) consisting of 1 Meteorological station, 2 LoRa antennas, 12 full field sensors, powerful software (cloud, GP Core IoT) and mobile applications. He also noted that “the entire production area is covered with a LoRa signal and is ready to receive interconnected devices”, while at least 2000 sensors can participate in the system with simple placement in points of interest, such as vineyards and wineries.
