What are the Concerns of a Vineyard ?
A vineyard comprises large areas of land and a lot of supply. Although beautiful, they require a lot of maintenance. Two main concerns arise that may not be up to owners to fully avoid in this context: safety issues and product maintenance. Open areas in nature tend to allow for many to hide or seek opportunities. Especially when making and selling products where the retail value can sometimes be high, theft is an ongoing issue. May it be of raw materials like grapes, or of final products such as wine bottles, the threat is present. Moreover, vineyards often fall victim to everyday accidents impacting supplies and production times. From birds eating grapes on a daily to natural disasters, there are many situations that can go wrong, even when one is careful.
How to take appropriate precautions?
There are ways to assist owners to ensure a smooth year, even during peak periods. Being aware of the risks and concerns is the first step towards preventing them. In the case of potential theft or trespassing, having a security system working at all times, and letting outsiders be aware of it, is the smartest way to dissuade anyone. Often, the mention of a measure is enough in itself, but having a trustworthy solution is best to keep one’s mind at peace. Similarly, a PA system is an appropriate way to scare off persistent birds with no harm, as a loud tone can play at regular hours. Australian vineyards tend to be in rural parts for space and climate. Natural disasters, especially in these areas, can not only cause direct harm but also debilitate many in a vineyard.
This is due to resources like electricity becoming scarce and making communication difficult.
Why Hazavoid?
Hazavoid offers fully wireless solutions, adaptable to previous infrastructures. Both the Hazavoid Wireless Alarm System (pictured above) and the Hazavoid Wireless Alert Beacon System come with a backup battery and solar panels. This allows them to protect and alert, regardless of the nature of the danger. Both the solutions can be wall-mounted or pole-mounted. This ensures adaptability for different areas such as indoors or outdoors. The systems activate with a remote, making it easy and quick to alert at any given time, within 200 meters. It is also possible to personalise the alarm tones and beacons colors. One Wireless Alarm System can for instance say multiple different messages, from “Evacuate” or “All Clear” to any preferred word or instructions. It is possible to combine Red-colored beacons with an intruder alert for instance. Adding continuous songs or animal noises to scare off nuisances from a vineyard is also an option.
