What the client wanted: the requirement at Cantine Ferrari, reputed among the top wineries anywhere in the world, was for a single centralized watering system able to serve five vineyards, each with different soil characteristics, exposure conditions and vines. The system would need to allow control of watering activity in real time, ensuring maximum simplicity but also thoroughly scientific precision, to safeguard the integrity of the precious crop.

The Clabermeteo solution: a Meteolab Watering System with Aqualite control software and 5 Meteolab programmers, with Meteo-Int-3 interface. All programmers communicate via GSM modem with a central PC located at the Ferrari winery headquarters in Trento. This allows wine experts and vineyard managers to program and supervise watering in real time at each of the holdings: Camparta (7 ha, 14 sectors), Novaline (11 ha, 18 sectors), Pianizza (11 ha, 14 sectors), Orsi (11 ha, 14 sectors), Margon (16 ha, 24 sectors),

In addition, the vineyard at Camparta is equipped with a special valve control system using decoders, whilst that of Orsi has special mains booster devices to compensate for the much greater than normal distance between valves.
