The digitization of timber flows in the forest sector improves business opportunities

Efforts are also being made to implement technologies from the side of growing forest, but when measuring, only approximately biomass can be calculated and the stocks can be counted. “It will not be an accurate measure of the wood that will be sold, because the lower part of the tree, from the whole stock, is <a href="http://www.world-today-news.com/latvian-timber-market-distortion-minister-of-agriculture-admits-policy-failure/” title=”Latvian Timber Market Distortion: Minister of Agriculture Admits Policy Failure”>saw logs, the upper part is paper wood or technological wood, fuel,” says Kalmuk “That’s why we are talking more and more in the industry about the fact that the measurement should be done once and for the customer. What happens in the forest, when the cuts are sold , usually logging – the diameter of the trees is measured at chest height, and then based on assumptions, the amount of useful wood one or the other is calculated. However, in many places in the Nordic countries, the type of trade also works successfully, where the owner of the forest or on his behalf hires a company, and the entire chain of documents, starting from the forest, goes to the factory or factories ., and the owner will receive in return test reports or survey reports, where the exact amount is delivered. Both quantity and quality, both classes, marriages and everything – the bill is ready to pay!

“On the other hand, where production starts, if we have a good digitization of the entire wood flow, from the moment the tree is cut down, we can get information on how efficiently we have worked with resources and how to manage natural values, where and what kind of new trees should be planted and many other valuable data.
