FEM experts will support companies in developing fully integrated, real-time solutions for smart monitoring of the winemaking process. Through its micro-vinification facility, consisting in temperature controlled tanks, sensors, and dataloggers, as well as enology laboratories, test and validation of artificial intelligence engines and visualization platforms will be supported, with the final goal to provide precise and accurate solutions for monitoring, with relevant impact on operational efficiency, as well as for driving the vinification precisely as desired, in terms of automation and repeatability of winemaking.

Agriculture is a local and specific business, where localisation of solutions is required, especially when it comes to language and interfacing with users. Albeit the diffusion of multilingual generative AI technologies (or large language models, e.g., GPT), these models are not optimised for a specific industry. We can test the performance of multilingual AI solutions in agriculture, highlighting bottlenecks that limit them. This allows for optimised localisation of solutions and quicker achievement of scalability at the European level.

Solutions in the agricultural sector that use weather forecasts can suffer from inaccuracies of standard weather service APIs, such as lack of granularity, no usage of in-field sensors, and low precision of generic models. Using FBK's expertise in advanced weather forecasting, we are capable of testing weather-related functionalities in solutions and proposing ways forward to take it to the next level: nowcasting, higher resolution, model optimisation for specific regions, etc.

Analysis of collected data in the context of AI agriculture product or service development and opportunities for data-value extraction via integration within the AgrifoodTEF DataSpace. We can help customers understand the value of their data (monetary and not monetary) and channels to offer it to potential users/buyers. By analysing the offer and demand in relevant Data Spaces, we suggest the optimal way to describe metadata and adopt the right technology implementations to make data visible, ensuring data owners never lose control of who accesses their data. The services include consulting customers on the enrichment of their data system to adopt data sovereignty and trust solutions that make them contribute to and be part of the European data space strategy.
