Predicting harvest time

摘要

Using data collected from Australia's largest vineyard owner, Treasury Wine Estates, new research looks for ways to better forecast grape maturity. HARVEST IS A key event in the annual calendar of the wine industry, and timing is critical. Grapegrowers and winery operators plan the allocation of resources including labour, grape harvesters, transport, grape processing and wine storage capacity. Projections of time of harvest are, therefore, required to coordinate the logistics of harvest and post-harvest handling of fruit.
