Precision Orchard Management using GPS Enabled Row and Bay data
Integrate your phone’s GPS with row and bay data to pinpoint exact locations in your orchard. Perfect for monitoring vine health, applying inputs, and managing labour efficiently. Greater precision leads to smarter decisions — ultimately boosting yield and improving fruit quality.

Powerful Row and Bay Insights
Accurate data at a surprisingly low cost.
Using drone imagery and surveyed block data, we map row and bay lines for each block. From these features, we can generate accurate row and bay data. Mapping rows and bays is easiest when vine canopy is minimal, allowing clearer visibility of orchard structure.
At GPSit we hold an extensive archive of drone imagery and block data – if your orchard has been mapped or audited within the last 7 years, we likely have sufficient resources to generate row and bay data. Using existing imagery and block information means no site visit, which allows us to keep costs down while still delivering valuable insights for orchard planning and management.

FAQ'S
-
Is a survey and drone flight required?
Not always. If your orchard has been mapped or audited within the last 7 years we likely have sufficient imagery and block data to generate row and bay data. However, if no survey data is available, a new survey will be required to collect this information. Also, depending on the orchard at the time the imagery was collected, only row data may be available—especially if the imagery was captured when the canopy was full and orchard structure was obscured.
Please note: Bay and row data is generated from the most recent imagery and block data we have on file. If there have been significant changes to the orchard since that time, we recommend a new survey to ensure all modifications are accurately captured. -
How is bay and row data generated?
Using high accuracy drone imagery and GPS surveyed block data, we map row and bay lines for each block. From these features, we can generate accurate row and bay data.
Our drones use GPS along with ground-based correction signals, enabling us to fly and map with sub-5 cm accuracy. -
Can canopy coverage affect what data can be collected?
Yes, if the canopy is full it can obscure the structural elements of the orchard in the imagery, making it difficult map out bay lines. Mapping rows and bays is easiest when vine canopy in the imagery we are using is minimal, allowing clearer visibility of orchard structure. We will asses the imagery and let you know if it is suitable.
-
How can this data help me manage my orchard?
Understanding bay and row dimensions helps with planning, block layout optimisation, and future infrastructure decisions. It also supports traceability and compliance for your orchard.
-
Can I request a survey if more imagery or survey data is required?
Yes, absolutely! If we do not have imagery and block data or if what we have is not suitable, a site visit can be arranged. The best time to get a survey for the purpose of row and bay mapping is when the canopy cover is minimal (June – November for a producing orchard). A site visit involves additional costs.
Please note: Bay and row data is generated from the most recent imagery and block data we have on file. If there have been significant changes to the orchard since that time, we recommend a new survey to ensure all modifications are accurately captured.
-
Can this data be viewed in a Dynamic Map?
Yes. We can pull all the data into the Landkind Dynamic Map to make navigation simple on orchard.
