In this facility, 120 calves can be housed from 15 days old until weaning. They arrive in the facility in batches and are housed in groups of up to 6 calves, living in free pen, on straw. Due to a breeding conduct in batches, this facility is not always at its maximum hosting capacity

Our laboratory allows us to carry out analyses on grapes, must, wine, but also on the soil, and even pathogens; It makes it possible to make the link between practices in the vineyard and qualitative indicators.

Our experimental cellar allows vinification at different scales, depending on the needs of the experiment: from 1 L to a few hectolitres. Our most common volume is 50 L. It is equipped with rooms at different temperatures and even a device of connected tanks to monitor and record the fermentation parameters under different conditions. As part of the TEF project, we can receive different connected sensors to collect data. The interest, with AI, is to develop predictive quality models for winemaking.

Typically, an evaluation plan is drawn up, including identification of the various influencing factors, evaluation criteria definition, and test scenarios. Using task-appropriate metrics, the overall product performance is assessed, and underperforming scenarios can be identified. It is also necessary to have various data from the product, which must be qualified and annotated in order to evaluate the product as accurately as possible. This facility is based on MATICS software and high-performance computing resources.

The bench offers a realistic representation of a physical environment. This includes high-quality graphics with adjustable precision details for textures, lighting, and shadows, as well as advanced physical models to simulate realistic interactions between objects (collision, thermography). The various environments cover a wide range of scenarios to test AI systems in varied and unpredictable situations. The platform also enables new scenarios to be created to meet specific customer requirements.

As part of PHÉNOME, the French plant phenotyping network, PhénoField® integrates expertise across agronomy, plant physiology, robotics, and bioinformatics. With over 350 plant varieties studied annually, the platform can simulate 17 distinct climates and is equipped with cutting-edge technology: 2 lidars for 3D laser analysis, 6 continuous cameras, 4 spectroradiometers for leaf light reflection measurements, and 36 soil moisture probes across 100 data points.

The laboratory specialises in multi-species analysis, including soft wheat, durum wheat, barley, corn, forage, triticale, sorghum, and feed ingredients like rapeseed and soy. With approximately 45 analysis methods, the lab handles 10,000 samples per year and performs 65,000 analyses across 1,000 m² of facilities, including 150 m² of cold storage. For over 10 years, it has maintained a comprehensive database of reference samples. Key areas of expertise include moisture, protein, starch, fat content, hardness, and soil composition.

The facility is designed for efficient and controlled grain storage and processing. It features 350 tonnes of storage capacity with ventilated bins and a silo thermometry system to ensure optimal temperature monitoring. The Sec-LIS® system controls 8 fans automatically to maintain ideal storage conditions, while 4 automatic samplers facilitate continuous quality checks. Two independent circuits with adjustable flow rates (up to 50 t/h) handle grain transport, and a dust extraction system reduces emissions.

The experimental farm spans 145 hectares, featuring a variety of soil types ranging from 30 to 90 cm in depth, including moderately deep clay loam and shallow clay-limestone soils. With certifications in Organic Agriculture and High Environmental Value (HVE), the farm dedicates areas to various types of trials: 2 ha for environmental testing, 4.75 ha for organic fields, 5.32 ha for autonomous organic trials, and 7.08 ha for innovative organic trials.

Bridge sprinkler with a working width of 250 m equipped with a VRI system, e.g., a system of variable irrigation doses. Independent control of each of the 63 sprinklers. The sprinkler can irrigate an area of ​​up to 20 hectares at once. The water dose is controlled manually, but it is possible to retrofit it with an automatic system based on, e.g., satellite data or a weather station system.
