Plan harvesting based on accurate forest data

The information in the forest management plan does not always correspond to the actual conditions in the cutting area. The volume of timber, terrain bearing capacity, and harvesting conditions may differ from the preliminary data, which in turn affects productivity, machine selection, and work planning.

Decision support for planners 

Accurate forest stand data: 

  • Volume of standing timber (m³/ha), 
  • Total volume, 
  • Tree species distribution, 
  • Average height, 
  • Estimated diameter classes 

Terrain and harvesting: 

  • Terrain and elevation model
  • Assessment of harvestability
  • Preliminary planning of extraction routes
  • Support for scheduling of harvesting
  • Digital map
  • Risk areas

 

Production support for forest machine entrepreneurs 

Worksite preparation

  • Best starting area
  • Terrain bearing capacity
  • Elevation differences
  • Steep sections
  • Soft areas
  • Support for planning strip roads

Productivity support

  • Estimate of stand volume
  • Estimate of tree height
  • Estimate of diameters
  • Estimate of removals
  • Order of harvesting progress

Machine operator support

  • Best starting direction

  • Areas challenging for harvesting

  • Digital worksite map

  • Terrain risk points

  • Most productive order of progress

Benefits for forest owners

  • better harvesting quality
  • documented initial situation (and final situation through inspection of the harvesting result)
  • more reliable forest data
