Multispectral mapping · the field app

See the
variation.
Then go stand in it.

We map your blocks from above in NDVI & NDRE — then hand you the map as an app you walk with. GPS shows which management zone you're standing in, vine by vine.

Your maps, in your pocket. Installs on any phone — works out in the rows.

What we capture

More than the
eye can see.

Our drones carry multispectral sensors that read NDVI and NDRE — indices that quantify canopy health and stress weeks before it's visible from the seat of a ute.

NDVI & NDRE indices. Measure canopy health and stress across every block, vine by vine.
Three health zones. We classify the variation into Good, Average and Poor — by NDRE threshold, not by eye.
Built for the block. Each zone map is tied to your block boundaries — not a generic overlay.

The differentiator

The map, in your pocket.

A static PDF dies on your desktop. Ours is a field app — open the private link we send you, install it on your phone, and walk the block with the map live under your feet.

Live GPS walking

Hit Start and your position shows on the map — follow-mode keeps you centred as you walk the rows.

Real-time zone lookup

The app tells you which zone you're standing in the moment you step into it — Good, Average or Poor.

Installs on any phone

iPhone or Android, no app store — add it to your home screen and it's ready in the field, even with patchy signal.

Block by block

Switch between your blocks, toggle zones on and off, and pick up right where you left off next visit.

How ground-truthing works

From the air
to the vine.

A map shows you where things differ. Walking it tells you why — and that's the difference between a pretty picture and a decision.

STEP 01

We fly & map

Multispectral capture over your blocks, processed into NDVI/NDRE health zones tied to your boundaries.

STEP 02

You install the app

We send a private link or QR for your vineyard. Open it once and it’s saved to your phone.

STEP 03

Walk the block

GPS guides you to each zone and tells you, live, which one you’re standing in.

STEP 04

Ground-truth & decide

Look at the actual vines, confirm what’s driving the zone, and turn the map into a plan.
