With expansive vineyards, Cloudy Bay relies on fungicide spraying throughout the growing season. However, traditional manual spraying is inefficient, leads to uneven coverage, and results in chemical waste, compromising pest and disease control effectiveness. Additionally, crop health monitoring has been largely dependent on manual inspections, making issue detection slow and response times delayed. This can impact grape quality and, ultimately, the flavor profile of the wine.
Another challenge is the lack of integrated data management. Farm operations rely heavily on manual record-keeping, leading to outdated and fragmented data that hinders precision decision-making in fertilization, irrigation, and disease prevention. Furthermore, the harsh agricultural environment presents additional demands—equipment must withstand extreme temperatures, humidity fluctuations, and the rough conditions of tractor cabins. Given the long operating hours of agricultural machinery, standard consumer-grade devices often fall short in durability, vibration resistance, and battery life, failing to meet Cloudy Bay's high reliability standards.
To address these challenges, Cloudy Bay required a rugged, intelligent, and data-driven solution to automate spraying operations, enable real-time crop monitoring, and elevate overall vineyard management efficiency.
To meet the demands of large-scale vineyard operations, Cloudy Bay adopted the ONERugged V10J vehicle PC, seamlessly integrating it with a cloud-based management system to enable smart farming.
The V10J is securely mounted in tractor cabins, running Windows 11 and featuring M12 connectors for seamless integration with cloud management and spraying systems. Designed for the toughest environments, its IP65-rated waterproof and dustproof build ensures stable performance in muddy, humid, or high-temperature conditions—perfect for vineyard operations. Operators can monitor and control spraying tasks in real time via its 10.1-inch high-resolution touchscreen, while the 1000-nit brightness display guarantees clear visibility even under direct sunlight.
Powered by high-precision RTK GPS, the V10J provides accurate navigation and positioning across the vineyard. It automatically calculates the optimal spraying and inspection routes while precisely controlling the nozzles to ensure targeted pesticide application, minimizing waste and maximizing disease prevention. This enhances grape health and quality while significantly reducing chemical usage. Additionally, farm managers can track equipment locations and usage in real time, optimizing machine efficiency and ensuring proactive maintenance.
The V10J's robust connectivity features, including 4G LTE and dual-band WiFi, enable operators to capture and record crop growth, pest conditions, and environmental factors like soil moisture, temperature, and light exposure. All data is instantly synchronized to the cloud, where an AI-powered system analyzes historical and real-time data to offer predictive insights, optimize resource allocation, and even anticipate market demand. This empowers Cloudy Bay to make more intelligent, data-driven decisions for sustainable vineyard management.
V10J is a 10.1-inch vehicle pc, which is specially designed for in-vehicle applications. Equipped with Intel® 11th Gen Celeron® N5100 processor, it is more powerful, and its integrated Wi-Fi-5, 4G LTE and GPS functions support available vehicle mushroom antennas, the coverage area is larger and the signal reception is better. Moreover, it has passed the dustproof, waterproof, anti-vibration and wide temperature tests, and with the M12 aviation plugs, wide voltage module, VESA and RAM mounting methods, etc., it can keep stable at all times and can meet all vehicle types, like forklifts, cranes, trucks.
With V10J’s advanced data capabilities, vineyard operations are now fully digital and visualized. Managers can access up-to-date records on spraying history and crop health, allowing for immediate adjustments to cultivation strategies. This ensures that every grapevine receives optimal care, resulting in consistently high-quality fruit.
Using RTK GPS and cloud-based automation, the V10J eliminates manual inefficiencies by calculating the most effective spraying and inspection routes. The automated nozzle control ensures pesticides only target necessary areas, preventing overuse, cutting operational costs, and supporting environmentally responsible farming.
The V10J continuously collects and synchronizes critical environmental and operational data—including crop growth, spraying patterns, soil conditions, and weather forecasts—into a centralized farm management database. This allows vineyard managers to analyze trends, refine cultivation strategies, and boost long-term profitability.
Designed for rugged agricultural environments, the V10J supports 9V to 36V wide voltage input and offers multiple power options, including cigarette lighter adapters and aviation power connectors. It also operates in battery-free mode, ensuring long-lasting performance on various types of farm machinery without interruption.
