Abstract

Det digitala sågverket är ett projekt som pågått i två år, 2017-2018. Projektet finansieras av Vinnova och de deltagande företagen Moelven Industrier, RemaSawco, Schneider Electric, RISE och DigiWood. Syftet med projektet var att genom att digitalisera sågverkets produktions- och processdata öka processeffektiviteten med 15%, öka produktvärdet med 10% och minska energiförbrukningen med 10%. Digitalisering är ett komplicerat projekt som tar tid och kräver resurser. Det är viktigt att fokusera på uppsatta mål. Noggrann planering krävs av: anläggningens inventering, installation i steg, krävande distribution med parallella system för nya automatiserade anslutningar. Digitaliseringsprojekt börjar med detaljer, fortsätter med detaljer och ännu mer detaljer, med tydliga mål för ett resultat av att forma en enhetlighet. Massiva färdighetsutmaningar. Visualisera mer, med mindre övervakningsskärmar. Ta kontroll över dataflöden och ta ägande av dina egna data. Plattformar som hanterar data måste testas i en hård miljö innan. Olika system som mäter tid, energi eller dimension måste synkroniseras på plats och med periodicitet kalibrerad mot "godkänd" liknande. Spårbarhet i såglinjer kan uppnås med redundanta system som mäter längd med tillägg av tidsstämpel. En beräkning visar en potentiell värdestegring på cirka 5 miljoner kronor per år.

Exploitation potential

High, as it is based on mechanistic modelling it can be applied in any climatic region. Furthermore, by including a wide range of ecosystem services, it can meet the needs of different types of forest management.

Abstract

This tool determines the optimum silvicultural activities to manage multiple products, goods and services such as biomass production, CO2 sequestration, fire risk, water provisioning, climatic resilience or biodiversity, which are simultaneously quantified in time and space for a selected solution. Main advantages include:

  • Changing the mono-objective approach in order to include a group of ecosystem goods and services.
  • Improving the economic performance of low productive areas by quantifying and valorising other resources that could be remunerated attending to the environmental value.
  • Holistic optimization of multiple goods and services out of forest management.
  • Adequacy to the specific characteristics of each site.
  • Multi-scalar results (plot, forest working unit, catchment, etc.).

C.A.F.E. is a tool that combines eco-hydrologic dynamic simulation with many-criteria optimization, where the user can carry out forest management according to more than one product at the same time, and choose the relevance of each objective/product. This software is capable of working under different climatic regions thanks to the previous calibration of the eco-hydrological simulation. Furthermore, it is possible to modify the spatial scale moving from plot to catchment, integrating a strong biophysical unit. In the same way, simulating different climatic scenarios is also possible. The result is a group of possible solutions among which forest manager can decide and apply.

Abstract

The Digital Sawmill is a project is funded by Vinnova and the participating companies Moelven Industrier, RemaSawco, Schneider Electric, RISE and DigiWood. The aim of the project was to, by digitizing the sawmill's production and process data, increase the process efficiency by 15%, increase the product value by 10% and reduce energy consumption by 10%. Digitization is a complicated project that takes time and requires resources. It is essential to focus on the goals set. Careful planning is required of: plant inventory, installation in stages, demanding deployment with parallel systems for new automated connections. Digitization projects start with details, continue with details and even more detail, with clear goals of a result of shaping a unified unit. Massive skills challenge. Visualize more, with less monitoring screens.Take control of data flows and take ownership of your own data.Platforms that handle data need to be tested in a harsh environment before. Different systems that measure time, energy or dimension need to be synchronized onsite, and with periodicity calibrated against "approved" similar.Traceability in saw lines can be achieved with redundant systems that measure length with the addition of timestamp. A calculation shows a potential increase in value of approximately SEK 5 million per year.

Abstract

LogBuch enables data aggregation in the forest, a simple evaluation of the data and further processing.  The combination of voice recording and Bluetooth button enables hands-free precise location of trees with simultaneous recording of important information about the tree, such as safety instructions or planning working procedures. The expected cut volume can be determined, and assortments planned. Foresters and harvester operators both receive detailed information (cross-linking with third party systems is supported). Technology: An A 2-frequency GNSS-receiver is connected to a smartphone to estimate the current position. A bluetooth button is used for language analysis. All spoken information can be recorded, automatically transcribed and classified, and the actual position lodged. WLAN is used for data exchange between smartphone, webserver and other users. Data can be exported as a map or table in georeferenced or not referenced formats (xlsx, GeoJson, shp, GPX, map). Applications: Preparation of timber harvesting, establishment of a digital "inventory", area mapping (also planting) by connecting recorded corner points, mapping of skid trails by the line function (harvest control or certification basis), remote navigation via Google Maps. In addition, recording of habitat trees etc., support for hunting organization (high seats, driven hunt stands, stalking routes etc.) and traffic safety measures.

Abstract

CFharvest (WoodForce) is planning- and steering system for harvesting and silviculture to optimize and strengthen the supply chains of forestry. Forestry company delivers all the contracts the WoodForce-system according to the need of raw material. The contractor selects the contracts and the locations he will perform. Forest companies have decreased harvesting and average costs in Silviculture or Regeneration job types. There has been increasing productivity in the supply chain of stem wood and energy wood. Also increasing productivity in field operations in Forestry like Silviculture Harvesting Forest Services. Contractors have the ability to manage their own forestry services and receive the full benefit of all resources. Possibility to operate for multiple forest companies is important. In addition, there is less manual reporting and worksite navigation is easier. CFharvest supports a changing trend where progressive companies now contract for several forest companies and do the planning with one system. Since the contractor understands local conditions best, forest harvesting operations become more efficient: the contractor has direct control over work plans and scheduling his own fleet of harvesters and trucks.
