BrioAgro ViTA
monitors the vital parameters of the crop, providing an advanced monitoring service for both open-field and greenhouse farms. Its objective is to understand, in real time, the conditions under which the crop develops in order to make data-driven agronomic decisions.
Monitoring is carried out through:
- Sensors installed in the field, measuring between 1 and 20 indicators every 15 minutes.
- ViTA (dataloggers), small devices with an integrated solar panel that collect sensor data and send it to the cloud for processing and visualisation.
The combination of the ViTA datalogger, the connected sensors, and cloud services constitutes the BrioAgro ViTA product line, focused on crop monitoring. Although it does not directly control irrigation, the system enables the generation of alerts (simple or complex) when one or more defined thresholds are exceeded.
All ViTA soil moisture sensors apply the BrioAgro calibration protocol, which references values based on Field Capacity (100%) and Readily Available Water (RAW), which depends on each crop. For example, in citrus crops this value (RAW) is set at 50% of Field Capacity.
Most in-demand ViTA devices
ViTA 7
Includes a soil moisture sensor located near the root bulb. It provides absolute values in L/m³ and relative values (%) referenced to Field Capacity. This indicator is the basis for intelligent irrigation and for achieving BrioAgro’s efficiency and water-saving results.
ViTA 9
Includes three sensors at the root bulb level:
- Soil moisture (L/m³ and % referenced to Field Capacity).
- Soil temperature.
- Electrical conductivity, essential for monitoring fertilisation.
ViTA 11
Combines the functionalities of ViTA 9 and ViTA 7, extending soil moisture measurement to a second depth. It includes:
- Soil moisture near the root bulb (L/m³ and % referenced to Field Capacity).
- Soil temperature at that point.
- Electrical conductivity.
- Soil moisture at a second depth, defined by technicians or by tables based on BrioAgro’s experience.
Complementary services included as standard
- Geolocated weather and forecasts:
15 meteorological indicators updated every 15 minutes, with 7- and 15-day forecasts. - Satellite indicators (for open-field crops):
Crop status analysis by farm sectors using a proprietary system developed on Google Cloud Services and Copernicus data. Between 2 and 12 indicators are measured and interpreted every 5 days (a new premium version is also available, based on another satellite providing daily satellite imagery). - Satellite-based irrigation simulator, designed to achieve homogeneous irrigation.
- Mobile and web access. Access via mobile application or web browser.
- Alerts. Alert system (simple or complex).
- Technical support from Monday to Friday.
