VineView, data analytics company offering data-driven solutions to optimising vineyards, launches its PinPoint RTK Handheld GPS Receiver. Aimed at vineyard operators, the PinPoint RTK is specifically designed for precise field data collection, offering accuracy through Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) technology.

With an accuracy of 2-5cm (2 inches), it outperforms traditional GPS receivers, which typically have an accuracy of 2-4m (7-13ft). With its rugged design and programmable buttons, it is a companion for any type of field work where spatial data is collected. Combined with the VineView mobile app, it allows tracking information at the individual plant level.

The result is accurate field data collection, allowing vineyard operators to build precise maps for the most informed decision-making and planning. This includes tracking production, disease mapping, yield estimation and asset tracking. Vineyard managers can utilize these maps as tools for various use cases, such as planning how many rootstocks to purchase for the following season, tracking disease over time to determine when to pull a field, sending employees to exact locations for replants, and more.

VineView’s PinPoint RTK has been designed to be ultra-portable, durable and is water resistant, ensuring reliability in demanding weather conditions. Designed with three programmable buttons, users are able to specify what data they want to collect at the touch of a button. The PinPoint RTK connects seamlessly with the VineView app (available on both Android and iOS), allowing  users to take and track notes with accuracy up to 2 cm. No signal, no problem. The PinPoint RTK works when there is no data connection to ensure that no matter where you are, you can still operate.
