Pellenc Connect
The new unique equipment monitoring platform is available for the PELLENC Group’s vineyard and winery machines, making life easier for the user and optimizing the operation of all the equipment.
PELLENC CONNECT also provides users with data about their machines, as well as agronomic and oenological data in real time for greater fluidity and responsiveness. This solution optimizes the organization of operations in the vineyard and the winery and allows the operator to perform the necessary tasks on the machines faster thanks to direct communication via the platform.
PELLENC CONNECT helps users better understand their production and raise their objectives in terms of the final product.
Internet-connected machines
The addition of the OPTIMUM carrier telemetry option enables automatic and secure data feedback from sensors installed on the carrier and the attached tool. The processing of these data on the PELLENC CONNECT CLOUD allows the customer and the distributor to benefit from key information to optimize and streamline the use and monitoring of the machines.
Fleet monitoring
With the telemetry option on the OPTIMUM, monitor your fleet of equipment in real time thanks to the data collected on the carrier and the coupled tool. View remotely on a tablet, PC, or smartphone:
- Locations of the various machines
- Settings of the carrier and the coupled tool
- Maintenance reminders
- Fault codes
You can plan ahead for maintenance and servicing to ensure maximum productivity throughout the year, especially during the harvest season. It also makes it easier to stay on top of things during intensive periods by providing real-time access to the machine settings, the monitoring of the work done, and so on. When the job is finished, statistics such as the number of hours of operation, fuel consumption, and work rate can be checked in the dedicated tab on the PELLENC CONNECT platform.
Remote diagnostics
To ensure fast and efficient customer service, the technicians of our distribution network can remotely access:
- On-board diagnostic information directly from PELLENC CONNECT
- History of fault codes on the machine
| Equipment Management | Fleet monitoring Customer | Remote diagnostics Distributor |
|---|---|---|
| Geo-location of machines |  | |
| Viewing of the settings remotely | | |
| Maintenance reminders | | |
| Fault code feedback | | |

Yield mapping (PREMIUM weighing option)*
During the harvest, the continuous weighing of the yield harvested in each area of the vineyard makes it possible to obtain a yield map.
With the PREMIUM weighing option, you can also see the quantity of grapes on PELLENC CONNECT:
- Currently in the bins
- Harvested in each plot
*Prerequisite: telemetry unit option.
Plant health mapping**
The map is generated during pre-pruning via the sensor used on VISIO for the automatic opening at the posts on the TLVP pre-pruner.
It also records the number and diameter of the vine shoots.
**Prerequisite: VISIO on TLVP + telemetry unit option.
The PELLENC CONNECT platform strengthens the link between the vineyard and the winery by means of the following services:
- Information sharing to simplify the management of supply flows (e.g. optimizing the filling of tanks and presses)
- Remote monitoring of equipment use
- Remote visualization of the equipment settings in the distribution fleet, as well as diagnostic data
- Visualization of all process information
- Maintenance interval reminders
- Fault alerts
