Bromil demo farm orchard management system

What does a modern kit equipped with sensors and digital tools look like? Take a look at the virtual tour of the Bromil farm, which is part of the European CODECS project, the partner of which is the PEF Department of Information Technologies.

The virtual excursion offers an interactive 3D tour of the Bromil farm orchard, which serves as a demonstration site for the CODECS project. The user is able to "walk" through the orchard sections, view the arrangement of trees, terrain and infrastructure, and see where the sensors and monitoring equipment are located.

Features and Features

Location of sensors and monitoring points
The virtual display shows where climate sensors, microclimate measurement stations, soil sensors and other devices are located that monitor environmental conditions – temperature, air humidity, soil moisture, or other parameters. Users can see not only the trees and rows of the orchard, but also the exact positions of the technical equipment.

Display of terrain and distances
The tour allows you to become aware of the topography of the orchard, the distance between the trees, the layout of the orchard groove, possibly even shading, which is important for microclimatic conditions. Thanks to this, it is better to see how the terrain and layout affect the distribution of microclimatic conditions and why the sensors are placed one way and another.

Visualization of the state of the orchard
The virtual tour offers the possibility to see the current state of vegetation - trees, their growth, foliage, possibly even signs of stress (e.g. drought) - depending on the images and data integrated into the system. This helps to show how images / data come into play when making decisions about the care of a set.

Decision Support elements (tools for decision support)
Users get an idea of how data from individual sensors will be used – for example, how the system will alert the need for irrigation, frost protection, fertilization or other interventions. The virtual tour helps to demonstrate how interventions could be carried out in a targeted and efficient manner.

User interface and transparency
The system is designed in such a way that the user can see the visual context – trees, paths, sensors – and can view information about individual points and elements through the web interface. This significantly increases the understanding of how everything works in real operation.

The Bromil farm is not just a place for technology testing - thanks to the virtual tour, it becomes an open textbook of digital agriculture. The CODECS project thus shows that modern technologies are not the music of the future, but a reality that is already changing the face of European fruit growing today.
