AgroBeep offers a real-time monitoring platform that enables winegrowers to systematically manage their vineyards.

The platform will combine data collected from sensors and other meteorological sources to generate information that facilitates decision-making and the management of facilities

The idea originated as a final thesis for a degreein Systems Engineering, with the aim of laying the groundwork for a startup. Through the research, various challenges within the sector were identified, and it was determined that technology could be leveraged to provide solutions.

This project won first prize in the National Academy of Engineering competition in 2016, in the Computer Science Undergraduate Projects category, as well as third prize in the Emprendedores en la Mira competition in 2015.
