As harvest begins across wine country, vineyard teams are focused on one thing: getting fruit off the vine with precision, efficiency, and reliability. This is where IFM Efector plays a key role—delivering advanced sensor and control technologies designed to optimize the equipment that drives your harvest.
Stay on track, every row
IFM’s 3D sensor technology guides mechanical harvesters with ±3 cm accuracy—without the need for GPS. The result is straighter rows, reduced fruit loss, and consistent harvest performance, even in low-light conditions.
Safe and steady on slopes
Inclination and inertial sensors help harvesters maintain balance across uneven vineyard terrain. By keeping equipment stable, these systems protect both the crop and the crew while allowing for safer, more efficient operations.
Keep machines running strong
Mobile control systems continuously monitor engine health, cutting mechanisms, and operator behavior. This real-time feedback helps prevent breakdowns and downtime at the busiest—and most critical—time of the year.
With IFM Efector, every row, every cluster, and every pass through the vineyard becomes more precise, efficient, and dependable. When it comes to harvest, there are no second chances.

Automate water catches to reduce your water consumption.
Water pushes are an important part of moving wine from one tank to another. Without instrumentation, many wineries have an employee watch the liquid to see when the changeover happens. You can redirect scarce labor resources to more valuable tasks by implementing conductivity sensors that continuously monitor your lines. These smart sensors from ifm measure the change in wine, water, and mixed media in your pump lines.
Explore ifm solutions for accurately measuring when a wine push is complete.
Instead of performing these calculations manually, ifm IO-Link masters send the pressure data to any higher level software system. For example, ifm moneo software can receive the temperature and differential pressure data from the tanks to calculate the brix measurement in real-time. Additionally, using two pressure sensors to calculate brix values ensures a more accurate understanding of how fermentation is progressing throughout the entire tank. This is because density over a larger fluid column provides a more aggregate measurement.
Automated wine fermentation contributes to the production of a more stable and higher-quality product. Wineries of any size benefit from the increased accuracy when monitoring the fermentation process and logging historical data for future use. Whether small wineries monitor each batch closely for slight variations in flavor or commercial wineries monitor hundreds of fermentation tanks simultaneously, automated brix monitoring can benefit operations of all sizes. It all starts with one IO-Link master, which allows for flexible solutions that are both cost-effective and easy to implement.
Data generated from automation processes offer valuable insights for further improvements. Winemakers can leverage this data to fine-tune their operations, increase efficiency, reduce costs, and continually improve wine quality.
