It is now possible to predict the spread of pests in vineyards, and INESC TEC has the solution

It is called VineShield-DT and uses technologies such as Digital Twins, artificial intelligence (AI), IoT (Internet of Things) sensors, and smart traps to predict pest spread in vineyards. The project is being developed by INESC TEC, as part of a consortium that also includes INIAV and CVRVV, and was recently presented at Portugal Smart Cities, one of the country's leading events dedicated to innovation and smart territories.
