AI-Powered Grape Ripeness Detection.

On the Vine and On Time

Who We Are

Precision Harvesting for the Modern Vineyard

Ripen AI is a Queen Mary University of London initiative transforming grape ripeness detection using portable optical sensors and artificial intelligence. We help winemakers harvest smarter with real-time, non-invasive data right from the field.

Current Vineyard Challenges

The Hidden Costs of Traditional Harvesting

Manual Sampling

Old methods rely on slow, hands-on testing that limits coverage and delays decisions.

Destructive Testing

Crushing grapes for lab results wastes fruit and inflates costs unnecessarily.

Climate Uncertainty

Changing weather affects ripeness timing  without real-time tools, quality suffers.

Are you a grower, agritech innovator, or winemaker?

We’d love your input on the biggest challenges in grape harvesting.
