Pruning guidance
In your view
Augmented-reality overlays suggest pruning decisions right in your view, guiding decisions without breaking your flow
Built with principles from SIMONIT&SIRCH

Why It Exists?
The problem
Pruning decisions are complex and inconsistent across crews. Expertise takes years to develop, and seasonal turnover makes training a recurring challenge. AR guidance aims to reduce guesswork, speed up decisions, and standardise results in the field.
How it works
1
Vine Vision System™
On‑device computer vision detects vine structure (canes, spurs, buds, cordon, trunk) and spatial layout.
2
Pruning Expert System™
A rulebase informed by recognized pruning principles analyzes options against objectives (structure, sap flow, bud load) to suggest cut zones.
3
AR Overlay
Suggested selections and cut positions appear in the pruner’s view for fast, confidence‑building decisions.
Benefits
Hands‑free guidance
Faster calls, less second‑guessing.
Consistent suggestions
Standardize across crews and contractors.
Field‑first interface
See proposed cuts without breaking posture.
Learn while doing
Reinforces training on real vines.
Manager peace of mind
Reduce errors that stress vines.

Ready to train consistent pruners?
The AR glasses are exciting, but you don’t need to wait to standardize pruning.
