From vineyard to bottle – trace sustainable practices in winegrowing under full transparency (Oenotrace)
Project
Project code: 2823ERA23H
Contract period: 01.06.2023
- 31.05.2026
Budget: 198,257 Euro

Keywords: sustainability, digitalisation, digital world, viticulture (winery), process quality, data management, information-communicationtechnology, value chains
The overarching aim of the Oenotrace project is to provide a holistic digital approach to full transparency of sustainable practices in viticulture, therefore promoting their widespread implementation. The contributions of Geisenheim University lie in particular in: (1) Contributing to the analysis of the value chain in order to specify the requirements regarding the transparency of sustainable growing practices and in particular the possible sustainability indicators, to identify needed data sources, especially in the vineyard, and to define a concrete use case for the evaluation of the overall integrated system. (2) Contribute to the establishment of an IoT network and the data integration on a web-based platform in order to be able to automatically collect relevant data in the individual seasonal phases of viticulture as well as in the subsequent processing and distribution steps (3) Collection of relevant agronomic and environmental data as well as near and remote sensing data in experimental vineyards for use in environmental and crop models as well as agronomic algorithms. (4) Develop a data acquisition and processing pipeline for automated acquisition and analysis of machine and supplementary sensor data related to all relevant vineyard operations. (5) Contribute to the evaluation of the integrated system architecture (IoT network, data platform and data sources) on the pre-defined use case and contribute to the validation of agronomic algorithms, environmental and crop models, Precision Viticulture practices and sustainability indicators through field trials and measurements in experimental vineyards (6) Overall coordination of the project
