In recent years, the presence of technology and sensors has increased significantly in many areas of daily life: industry, optimizing its processes thanks to more information available; the automotive industry, making aid available to the driver thanks to electronics, cameras and sensors integrated into vehicles; or personal life, with smartphones and wearables capable of monitoring multiple parameters. Within this trend, agriculture is no exception , and in what is known as Agriculture ., all these new technologies are used to help the farmer and improve the results of their work. Many of the Agriculture.
Initiatives are inspired by industrial processes, associated with what is also known as Industry .However, there are two main factors that make working in the field of agriculture more complex: on the one hand, in agriculture you work in less controlled environments than in industry , so there are many associated factors to Fax Lists take into account. to the meteorology, the soil, the fauna and flora of the environment, etc.; and on the other hand, in agriculture we work with living beings (plants), so we work with more complex systems that are difficult to manage and predict. This, although a priori is a problem, must also be seen as another incentive to introduce technology in this area.

This allows, on the one hand, to measure all the variables that influence the crops, and on the other hand, to work with all this data to be able to extract the information and knowledge that allows making the decisions that best suit the crop . In the case of the vineyard, two actions have been carried out in the project presented. Firstly, a wireless network of sensors based on IoT technology has been set up to monitor the environmental and soil conditions in the vineyard : specifically, the temperature and humidity are measured both in the environment and at two depths. This information, combined with soil maps and satellite maps of plant vigor.
