VeroSim Cable Yarding

Short description

Based on the forest digital twin, timber harvesting with a cable crane can be simulated. Working times, machine hours and the timber assortments produced are added up and displayed graphically. The results can be used to compare different variants of line layout and intervention strength and thus determine an optimum.
