ITACA

The overall objective of the ITACA project is to develop a system based on low-cost portable multispectral IoT nodes that allow To measure in a simple and economical way the most relevant parameters that influence the quality of olives intended for olive oil production, in order to support the farmer in decision-making and thus obtain a higher quality of oil production and greater profitability of their crops.

Furthermore, this system has been designed to have great potential in olive mills, specifically in the selection stage, where thanks to this new product, the quality parameters of the olives can be measured very quickly in the mill yard, allowing for better decisions to be made in real time when classifying the olives and directing them to the milling line, thus resulting in an increased percentage of extra virgin olive oil obtained.
