North-East Victoria vineyard smoke sensor network

This project aims to deliver an early warning network of smoke sensors that assesses vineyard exposure to smoke in North-East Victoria, one of the most bushfire-prone wine regions in Australia. The network of 100 sensor stations will record, analyse and report the exposure of wine grapes to individual smoke events and accumulated seasonal smoke exposure. An electronic dashboard will provide information back to producers and inform critical business decisions such as grape testing, vineyard management, and winemaking strategies to manage smoke effects. The network has the potential to be deployed nationally and exported.

Consumer refrigerator data, behaviour and waste reduction for red meat

Most consumers still check if meat is still safe to eat by looking at the use by date on the packaging. This is considered to be outdated technology, and this project will gather new temperature data for all commodities that require chilled storage, and combine this with information on consumer behaviour to set new standards of food storage and information.
