Back in November, 2009 Derek Morikawa, CEO of Vision Robotics Corporation gave an inspiring talk on robotic pruning at the Wine2030 BlueSky symposium. Today he was back in Adelaide brainstorming ideas around important research questions and business opportunities enabled by the technology his company is developing.

Today’s meeting was inspired by a blend of ideas that surfaced during last year’s symposium and spurred on by continuing online discussions. One topic of discussion was to think about ‘Re-engineering vineyards’ – a challenge to innovate beyond incremental improvement along the lines of Max Zornada’s presentation from BlueSky2009. Present at the meeting were other speakers from previous symposia, including Anton van den Hengel and Christopher Findlay.

The University of Adelaide’s Wine2030 Research Network hosted a Conference attended by 100 people at the National Wine Centre on 29th September 2008. A full program can be found here.
.
Highlights of the Conference are available on this site in separate posts.
.
There was a great deal of discussion at the Conference about the big ideas to emerge. A summary of the big ideas is listed below.
.
THE BIGGEST BIG IDEAS
* Build the wine industries capability to define and authenticate individuality<
* Collaboration between all stakeholders will add value to the industry (growers, wine makers, technologists, researchers, consumers, supply chains)
* The power of consumer is growing and will drive the direction of the industry. How do we harness this power for Australia’s industry?
* Information intensity in production, manufacturing, distribution and marketing is increasing and is becoming a greater proportion of the value of wine
* An integrated systems approach to grape and wine production will lower risk, increase profitability and acceptability of the end product
* There are enormous opportunities to extract greater value from the supply chain
.
BIG IDEAS IN INFORMATION AND SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY
* The use of visualisation for communication and training
* The use of optical fibre sensing – cheap and in situ
* Remote sensing of canopy for yield prediction and to optimise harvest
* Link RFID to Optical fibres for individual plant monitoring
* Sensing in wineries
* Tracking fruit through production chains using RFID tagging
* Monitoring smoke risk in vineyards
* Sensing of plant hormones, flavour compounds
* The use of visualisation: below ground, spray deposits on leaves and transpiration
* Optimisation modelling to minimise number of times wine is handled
* Soil and plant nutrient analysis in situ
.
BIG IDEAS IN GENOMICS AND PLANT SCIENCE
* Systems approach to grape and wine production
* Expression of genes to monitor vine health
* How much water is lost to evaporation in native systems?
* Clear objectives for genomics research
* Match genomics with environmental characterisation
.
BIG IDEAS IN MARKETING AND FINANCE
* Consumer co-creation of brands and products
* Selling to the long tail – non price elements are important
* Efficiency is important for products to sell to the mass market
* Creating, communicating and extracting value from “authenticity”
* Acceptability of alcohol consumption
* Impact of powerful consumers
