Wine Industry Smoke Detectors gives vineyard managers real-time, site-specific smoke exposure data, so decisions about harvest, marketing, insurance and winery supply are backed by evidence, not guesswork. Developed with La Trobe University and Wine Australia through the Australian Government's Economic Accelerator Launch Program, GoWISD closes the gap between a smoke event and the lab results that can otherwise take weeks to come back.
Benefits of Wine Industry Smoke Detectors
Continuous, real-time monitoring of PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 smoke particulates, plus temperature and humidity, so you know what's happening in the vineyard as it happens, not weeks later in a lab report.
Track cumulative smoke dose across the season through an easy-to-access dashboard, rather than relying on sight or smell alone.
Prioritise vineyard inspections and lab testing where the data shows genuine risk, instead of testing every block just in case.
Support conversations with wineries, insurers and grape purchasers with objective, GPS-verified evidence of smoke exposure and location.
Move from reacting to smoke events after the fact to proactively managing risk throughout the season, protecting both crop value and business confidence.
GoWISD is used across Australia's wine regions to give growers earlier awareness and greater confidence when the season turns smoky.
How GoWISD works
GoWISD continuously measures particulate matter associated with smoke (PM1, PM2.5 and PM10) and combines this with temperature and humidity data to build an ongoing picture of smoke exposure in your vineyard. Every reading is GPS-tagged for verified proof of accuracy and location, and available in real time through the GoApp dashboard on desktop or mobile.
