This section describes the ROMI-project.eu experimental vineyard at FabLab Valldaura, Barcelona, Spain.

The objective of this vineyard project is to:

  1. Implement IoT sensors similar to those used at Costaflores: vinduino, Raspberry WeatherPi, 360º camera, etc. 

  2. Design, plant, and cultivate an experimental vineyard for use in testing vineyard robotics. 

  3. Provide material (grapes) for the FabLab WineMakersLab.com program.

The preliminary steps this project include:

November-December 2018

  1. Selecting the appropriate candidate land parcels for planting a vineyard at Valldaura (projected 26/11/18).

  2. Excavate test pits (calicatas) at each of the candidate sights (2m deep x 2m long x 1.5m wide)

  3. Collect soil sample from 2m, 1m, .5m, and .25m for chemical and organic analysis. 

  4. Film a 4K video of the soil profile.

  5. Evaluate initial CCPAE organic requirements

  6. Plant Vinduino Sensors in the primary test pit(s) and fill in the pits

  7. Implement the Weather Station at the Valldaura house

  8. Incorporate the Weather Station and Vinduino data in the Openvino presentation layer.

January-March 2019

  1. Define irrigation

  2. Clear the selected land for planting test varietals

  3. Soil correction / fertilization

April - May 2019 

  1. Evaluate grape varietals to test

  2. Plant test varietals

April - May 2020

  1. Extend test vineyard
