Interesting perspective. Do you find yourself using Algorithms​ to make your harvest/process more efficient?

  Of course I build whole software for managing winery: everything from time tracking to profitability calculation. I am trying to sell it to other wineries, but not luck yet. I am also building prediction model for my NIR spectrometer, using ML to predict various analytes in the wine spectra. This is ongoing research project, which might be commercialised someday.

    Maybe online software as a service? Lufthansa does something similar with their backend airline systems to defray the development and operating costs (and turn a profit). Maybe more uptake of the product from California wineries.

      Well, it is SAAS software. I am trying to sell it locally first, but it is tough sale. Most of the wineries I spoke to are fine with pen and paper or maybe some Excel if they feel really advanced. I don't blame them, most of the laws actually require them to keep paper version of their documents filled in special purpose paper notebook with numbered pages. Law mentioned that you can keep your document in computer format, but this software have to be accepted by ministry of agriculture and after speaking with them the chances of getting this permission is very slim. I keep trying, but it is uphill battle. Well at least I have some activity to fill my rainy days.
