Consilium Technology

Consilium Technology is an Australian technology company specialising in geospatial analytics, artificial intelligence and large-scale satellite imagery processing. Through its collaboration with Wine Australia, Consilium Technology has helped transform the way vineyard data is collected and analysed, providing the Australian grape and wine sector with unprecedented visibility of vineyard resources and production capacity.

A key contribution was the development of GAIA (Geospatial Artificial Intelligence for Agriculture), an advanced machine-learning platform designed to identify and analyse vineyards from satellite imagery. Working in partnership with Wine Australia, Consilium Technology used GAIA to conduct Australia's first comprehensive, AI-powered National Vineyard Scan, geolocating vineyards across the country and generating accurate information on vineyard area, row length and regional distribution.

The National Vineyard Scan provided a valuable foundation data asset for the Australian wine sector, replacing traditional survey-based approaches with an automated and scalable technology solution. The project improved the accuracy and timeliness of vineyard information while reducing reporting burdens on grapegrowers. The resulting insights have supported industry planning, market intelligence, resource management and strategic decision-making at both regional and national levels.

Consilium Technology's work demonstrated the potential of artificial intelligence and remote sensing technologies to solve complex agricultural challenges. The capability developed through the National Vineyard Scan has continued to influence Wine Australia's data and digital initiatives, providing a benchmark for future vineyard mapping and sector-wide data programs. Wine Australia's more recent vineyard scanning projects have built upon the advances first delivered through Consilium Technology's work.

By pioneering the use of AI and satellite imagery in viticulture, Consilium Technology helped establish a new generation of data-driven tools that support more informed decision-making, improved industry intelligence and the long-term sustainability of the Australian grape and wine sector.
