Abstract

Mistra Digital Forest je výskumný program pracujúci s veľkými spoločenskými výzvami našej doby. Požiadavky klimatických zmien a obmedzených prírodných zdrojov Znamená to, že musíme prejsť na obehové biohospodárstvo a les v tom zohráva ústrednú úlohu. Lesné suroviny môžu postupne vyradiť materiály na báze fosílnych palív a nahradiť ich obnoviteľnými, biologickými alternatívami. Digitalizácia vytvára príležitosti, aby sa lesné hospodárstvo stalo trvalo udržateľnou a konkurencieschopnou súčasťou. Presne k tomu prispieva Mistra Digital Forest.

Mistra Digital Forest sprístupňuje obrovské množstvo údajov, zvyšuje naše znalosti o lese a umožňuje nám vytvárať udržateľné a efektívne využiteľné zdroje. Konkrétne to znamená, že výskumní pracovníci programu vyvíjajú digitálne nástroje a inovácie, automatizujú a pridávajú väčšiu presnosť v lesnom plánovaní a využívaní lesov. Výsledkom je zvýšená konkurencieschopnosť a udržateľnosť v sektore lesného hospodárstva. S cieľom urýchliť digitálnu transformáciu, program pracuje na zvyšovaní digitálnych znalostí v rámci odvetvia. Existujú aj vyvinuté metódy hodnotenia udržateľnosti ktoré poskytujú východiskový bod založený na faktoch, keď rôzne zainteresované strany diskutujú o úlohe lesa pri prechode k udržateľnejšej spoločnosti.

Výskum je rozdelený do štyroch pracovných balíkov: 1) Celoprogramové aktivity, 2) Fakty o lesoch, 3) Efektívne lesníctvo, 4) Hodnota lesa a lesných produktov.

Účastníci programu: Mistra Digital Forest je financovaný spoločnosťou Mistra a zúčastnenými stranami. Program vedie Švédska federácia lesného priemyslu a partnermi programu sú BillerudKorsnäs, Holmen, SCA, Stora Enso, Sveaskog, Södra, SLU, IVL, Skogforsk, Univerzita Umeå a KTH.

Short description
Mistra Digital Forest is a research program focusing on digitalisation in forestry. We take advantage of the opportunities of digitalisation for forestry, and through this we contribute to the transformation of our society into a circular bioeconomy. The vision of the programme is to create digital solutions for a sustainable and efficient forest bioeconomy.

Abstract

Mistra Digital Forest is a research program working with the great societal challenges of our time. The demands of climate change and nature’s finite resources mean we have to switch to a circular bioeconomy, and the forest has a central role in this. Forest raw materials can phase out fossil-based materials and products, and replace them with renewable, bio-based alternatives. Digitalisation creates opportunities for forestry to be a sustainable and competitive part of that transformation. This is precisely what Mistra Digital Forest is contributing to.

Mistra Digital Forest makes enormous amounts of data available, increasing our knowledge of the forest and enabling us to make sustainable, resource-efficient decisions when we use this data. In concrete terms, this means that the programme’s researchers develop digital tools and innovations, automating and adding greater precision in forest planning and forest use. This results in increased competitiveness and sustainability in the forestry sector. In order to accelerate digital transformation, the program is working to increase digital knowledge within the industry. Methods for sustainability assessment are also being developed, and provide a fact-based starting point, when various stakeholders are discussing the role of the forest in the transition to a more sustainable society.

The research is divided into four work packages: 1) Program-wide activities, 2) Forest Facts, 3) Efficient Forestry, 4) The Value of the Forest and Forest Products.

Program stakeholders: Mistra Digital Forest is funded by Mistra and participating parties. The program is led by the Swedish Forest Industries Federation and program partners are BillerudKorsnäs, Holmen, SCA, Stora Enso, Sveaskog, Södra, SLU, IVL, Skogforsk, Umeå University and KTH.

Digital transformation of the value chain from the forest to the processing industry
Digital solution
Yes
Abstract

Digitalisation is becoming increasingly important in the forestry sector and the need for digital transformation is becoming ever clearer, especially in the forestry-timber supply chain, i.e. the value chain from the forest to the processing industry. In order for this transformation to bring about the greatest possible improvement in efficiency in economic and ecological terms for the actors involved, it is necessary to identify at which points and in which processes in the supply chain there is the greatest need for digital technology, or where this can be expected to bring the greatest benefits. Changes can range from optimised work processes to the emergence of new or modified business models. Core elements are the networking of relevant points and processes - also between the actors - and the creation of interoperability of applications and systems, many of which are already available but still mostly isolated.

The Wood Supply 4.0 project aims to identify the most beneficial digital technology possible and relies on qualitative methods to determine demand, on economic methods to assess the potential of digital technology, and on case studies to test the feasibility of individual technical approaches and to assess their effects. The aim is to explore in detail (a) where the operational potential of Industrie 4.0 lies in the optimisation of existing value creation processes and (b) where the strategic potential of Industrie 4.0 lies for the further development of existing or the development of new business models. Building on these findings, the ecological and social benefits of these potentials will be clarified through a differentiated and holistic assessment.

The following project results are to be generated in the course of this research project: 1) Process map with operational potentials of Industry 4.0 technologies in the forestry-wood chain, 2) Detailed description of extended business models (e.g. new service offers), 3) Evaluation of new value chains through experimental, disruptive business model scenarios, 4) Creation of an evaluation matrix of strategic and operational potentials, and 5) Documentation of experiences from case studies. With these results, the Wood Supply 4.0 research project not only forms a foundation for further research in the field of Wood Supply 4.0, it is also, in particular, an initial step on the way to implementing Industry 4.0 in forestry and wood industry practice in a targeted manner.

The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) through the Agency of Renewable Resources (FNR Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe e.V.) under the funding code FKZ 22015317.

Digitale Transformation der Wertschöpfungskette vom Wald bis in die verarbeitende Industrie
Digital solution
Yes
Abstract

Digitalisierung gewinnt in der Forstwirtschaft zunehmend an Bedeutung und besonders in der Forst-Holz-Bereitstellungskette, d.h. der Wertschöpfungskette vom Wald bis in die verarbeitende Industrie, wird die Notwendigkeit der digitalen Transformation immer deutlicher. Damit diese Transformation für die beteiligten Akteure eine möglichst große Effizienzverbesserung in ökonomischer und ökologischer Hinsicht bewirkt, gilt es zu identifizieren, an welchen Stellen und bei welchen Prozessen in der Bereitstellungskette der größte Bedarf für digitale Technologie besteht, bzw. diese den größten Nutzen erwarten lässt. Veränderungen können dabei von optimierten Arbeitsabläufen bis zur Entstehung neuer oder veränderter Geschäftsmodelle reichen. Kernelemente sind die Vernetzung relevanter Stellen und Prozesse – auch zwischen den Akteuren – und die Schaffung von Interoperabilität von Anwendungen und Systemen, die vielfach zwar schon verfügbar, aber nach wie vor zumeist isoliert sind.

Das Projekt Wood Supply 4.0 hat die genannte Identifikation möglichst nutzenbringender digitaler Technologie zum Ziel und stützt sich dabei auf qualitative Methoden zur Bedarfsermittlung, auf Methoden der Ökonomie, um das Potenzial digitaler Technologie zu bewerten, und auf Fallstudien, um die Umsetzbarkeit einzelner technischer Ansätze exemplarisch zu testen und ihre Wirkungen abschätzen zu können. Es soll im Detail ergründet werden (a) wo die operationalen Potenziale von Industrie 4.0 in der Optimierung bestehender Wertschöpfungsprozesse und (b) wo die strategischen Potenziale von Industrie 4.0 zur Weiterentwicklung bestehender oder zur Entwicklung neuer Geschäftsmodelle liegen. Aufbauend auf diesen Erkenntnissen soll über eine differenzierte und ganzheitliche Bewertung der ökologische und gesellschaftliche Nutzen dieser Potenziale geklärt werden.

Folgende Projektergebnisse sollen im Zuge dieses Forschungsvorhabens generiert werden: 1) Prozesslandkarte mit operationalen Potenzialen von Industrie-4.0-Technologien in der Forst-Holz-Kette, 2) Detaillierte Beschreibung erweiterter Geschäftsmodelle (z.B. neue Serviceangebote), 3) Evaluierung neuer Wertschöpfungsketten durch experimentelle, disruptive Geschäftsmodellszenarien, 4) Erstellung einer Bewertungsmatrix der strategischen und operationalen Potenziale, und 5) Dokumentation der Erfahrungen aus Fallstudien. Mit diesen Ergebnissen bildet das Forschungsvorhaben Wood Supply 4.0 nicht nur ein Fundament für weitere Forschung im Bereich Holzbereitstellung 4.0, es ist insbesondere auch ein initialer Schritt auf dem Weg, Industrie 4.0 zielgerichtet in der forst- und holzwirtschaftlichen Praxis zu implementieren.

Das Projekt wird vom Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft (BMEL) durch die Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe e.V. (FNR) unter dem Förderkennzeichen (FKZ) 22015317 gefördert.
