Italy: Digital solutions for safety and health in precision farming in vineyard work

Cultivating vineyards requires the use of tools mounted on tractors, which operators must navigate along narrow lanes, while simultaneously monitoring the tools. This demands precision and constant attention to avoid accidents and injuries. To ensure the safety and health of its operators, the Perla del Garda winery has adopted a digital solution enabling the tractor to ‘drive itself.’ This alleviates stress and allows operators to focus on the tools. Meanwhile, the automated system instantly alerts them of potential obstacles and hazards.

Perla del Garda is one of the winning examples of the 16th Healthy Workplaces Good Practice Awards competition, which recognises successful prevention and management of risks linked to digitalisation in the workplace.
