Victor Alchanatis and Avi Sadka also conducted a compelling workshop titled “Data-driven management of fruit cracking intensity in trees”, where recent insights from CrackSense field experiments have been shared and discussed with the audience. Highlights from the field recordings, notably from Greece and Israel, made by an advanced TOMMY system comprised of several types of sensing systems, were presented, so the participants were able to see vineyards and orchards through TOMMY’s eyes.

CrackSense booth was a lively place for discussion and engagement with the interested audience, ranging from farmers, software and hardware engineers to synergistic project representatives. Opportunities for joint project activities were explored and insights shared. Notably, informal discussions sparked an interest in addressing potential solutions for fruit cracking mitigation measures, optimizing data collection methods across the entire fruit production value chain (from cultivation to storage and retail), and advancing the development of innovative drone technology.
