Aerial imagery and analytics for vineyard management

Ceres Imaging combines industry-leading aerial data and expert customer support to help vineyard managers improve grape quality, optimize yields, and reduce costs.

Water stress

The ability to monitor and fine-tune water stress throughout the season is crucial to success at harvest—especially for vineyards contending with severe heat and drought. Whether troubleshooting on an existing vineyard or planning on newly acquired land, aerial data provides a holistic view of vine health across the operation and uncovers irrigation leaks, clogs, and pressure issues that manual inspection may miss.

How it works

We fly farmers’ fields.

Mounted on fixed-wing aircraft, our cameras capture multispectral imagery in greater detail than satellites, more efficiently than drones.

We generate scientific-grade imagery and analyses.

Instead of unprocessed aerial photographs, we use crop-specific, research-validated data models to evaluate plant health.

We provide actionable insights.

Within 48 hours, we deliver specific recommendations to help farmers make decisions with confidence.

Before we worked with Ceres Imaging, our irrigators would have to run the whole system to see where a line was flooding. Now, with aerial imagery, we are able to see exactly where our problems are—rather than running around randomly guessing.

We found there is a lot more to this imagery than just finding leaks in your irrigation system. If your end goal is to grow a more uniform crop, the tools are there. This is the most user-friendly and cost-friendly monitoring system I’ve ever used.
