Poland’s State Forests National Holding has launched a pilot project to use Timbeter in the Nowe Ramuki Forest District of the country. During the pilot project, the district will use Timbeter’s artificial technology and machine learning for measurements and digital reporting. Source: Timberbiz
It will also use and test Timbeter’s cloud storage solution in order to save all the information in digital form and have a real time overview of all the measurements made in different parts of the district by different officials, taking advantage of geolocation information, remote collaboration and reporting.
The pilot project is scheduled to the end of August 2020, and the goal is to assess the use of technology with the Poland State Forest operations. Timbeter apps are available in Polish, which will facilitate the use of the technology.
Timbeter’s Customer Support Manager, Rachel Di Giuseppe, travelled to the region to facilitate a session on the use of Timbeter.
The forestry sector in many countries around the world, including Poland, has been designated as a critical activity since packaging, as well as personal hygiene and health related products come from forests that are managed sustainably, such as the Poland State Forests. Timbeter’s technology makes it possible to reduce human contact and follow guidelines for social distancing.
“There is a need for increasing the efficiency of daily operations performed in the forestry sector all over the world, as well as a requirement for centralization of data for timber management and oversight of operations,” Anna-Greta Tsahkna, CEO of Timbeter, said. “Timbeter enables state forests and companies around the world to bring transparency and traceability to the whole supply chain and minimize possible errors.”
Timbeter is an Estonian start-up for the forestry sector bringing increased transparency and efficiency to the measurement process from the field to the factory. It enables quick and accurate timber measurement and data management using artificial intelligence.
The software can count the number of logs, as well as to measure the diameters of the logs, volume and the pile density ratios for pulp-and fuelwood.
All the measurements have a geotag, therefore the origin of the timber is always known, meaning that illegal logging can be prevented. The timber measurement is done digitally with the help of a smart-device (tablet, smartphone) and all the measurement data is stored in a cloud, providing real-time overview of the activities.
Timbeter helps the forestry industry to save time and costs, making processes more objective and transparent and enabling better control.
