Mobilization Potential
Using ForestHQ harvesting module the customer can mobilise up to 20% more of quality timber by a better optimisation of the harvesting.
Sustainability Potential
Improvement of the sustainable forest management practices, treatability of operations data and verification of these practices.
Impact on environment & biodiversity

ForestHQ has a significant impact on the digitalisation of the forest industry. This system makes digitalisation more accessible to small and medium size forest owners and organisations.  According to a study performed by UNECE, in terms of numbers of private forest owners as well as distributions of size classes, small-scale land holdings prevail in European forests. These forest owners are not only important in numbers or a large amount of forest that they manage, but also play an important role in rural communities, sustaining local economies and traditional and sustainable forest management methods.

Despite the effort that small forest owners are putting into sustainable forest management.  The level of sustainable forest management that can be verified in the private forest need to improve.  For the private forest sector, with the exception of Austria and Finland, the certification level is still rather low or even non-existent in some countries. 

ForestHQ is a game-changer to bring private owners and organizations to effective and variable forest management providing them with digitalisation.

Muy positivo, al ser que SISREP es un systema de apoyo a la gestión forestal en múltiples variantes, así como una ayuda valiosa tanto a propietarios como gestores privados en la tarea de crear nuevos bosques, y a medio plazo, gestionar aspectos concretos de los ya existentes.

La utilización de los datos derivados de la gestión diaria de las administraciones es una fuente de información de alto valor que puede ayudar a mejorar los propios servicios ofrecidos por dichas administraciones. Para ello la digitalización de los procesos se convierta en una tarea fundamental e indispensable. 

Abstract

El principal objetivo de SISREP es la puesta en valor de la información obtenida en las inspecciones en el marco de las ayudas a la forestación y creación de superficies forestales en Castilla y León para:

  • Uso de la información obtenida en campo para la gestión de los expedientes controlados.
  • Creación de una base de datos centralizada y georeferenciada con la información del estado de las plantaciones.
  • Poder predecir, mediante técnicas de inteligencia artificial el éxito de futuras plantaciones.
  • Con el conocimiento extraído, revisar y mejorar la planificación de actuaciones futuras, permitiendo la implementación de las condiciones técnicas más adecuadas a las nuevas circunstancias ambientales.

Para ello, se ha diseñado e implantado una infraestructura que permite la digitalización de todo el flujo de trabajo, desde la toma de datos en campo hasta la utilización de estos en herramientas de análisis estadístico avanzado.

Los datos recogidos en el campo son por ejemplo la especie, la altitud, la densidad, el pendiente, el método, la orientación, la edad, la Litografía, con siembra o no, o la zona.

Abstract
Система TimFlow дозволяє перевірити, чи деревина, яка перебуває в обігу, є законною, чи підприємства-постачальники дотримуються вимог системи належної перевірки (Due Diligence), чи деревина не походить з буферних зон національних парків або інших територій, де лісозаготівля заборонена. Найважливіша характеристика системи TimFlow – це її надзвичайна прозорість. Усі зібрані дані GPS є загальнодоступними на порталі, зокрема англійською мовою, що дозволяє місцевим і міжнародним зацікавленим сторонам перевіряти поставки деревини. 
Через систему TimFlow користувачі можуть перевірити таку інформацію:
- усі вантажі за останні 12 місяців, які прибули до лісопильних підприємств компанії «HS Timber Productions» у Румунії;
- товарно-транспортну документацію;
- фотографії вантажів;
- маршрути перевезення;
- окрім цього, користувачі можуть подати запит на отримання копій товарно-транспортних документів.
За допомогою TimFlow компанія «HS Timber Group» забезпечує законність усіх поставок деревини, їхню відповідність вимогам системи належної перевірки (Due Diligence), а також те, що відвантажена деревина не походить з буферних зон національних парків. TimFlow – це важлива частина системи належної перевірки компанії «HS Timber Group», завдяки якій компанія зменшує ризик появи незаконної деревини у своєму ланцюгу постачання.

Abstract

Portalul online este o metodă automată de identificare a transporturilor de lemn tăiate ilegal din România. Utilizatorii pot observa alerte de la sateliți care indică informații și o dată la câteva zile (între 2 și 7 zile în funcție de satelit) orice modificare a imaginii aeriene asociat cu vegetația forestieră din România. Portalul accesează și baza de date SUMAL a Ministerului Apelor și Pădurilor în timp real. Din această bază de date, sunt extrase informații pentru a fi procesate în sistemul intern, despre documentele de îmbunătățire a recoltelor de lemn, locațiile de unde sunt încărcate transporturile de lemn și informațiile legate de aceste puncte. Permisele privind recoltarea lemnului au fost digitalizate, prin urmare, toată activitatea de recoltare poate fi verificată prin monitorizare prin satelit, în timp ce transporturile trebuie să obțină un cod unic înainte de a părăsi locul de încărcare. codul este obținut numai după ce informațiile de transport au fost introduse în sistem, inclusiv locația în care c a fost solicitată oda.
Portalul, prin dezvoltări ulterioare, conține și un API (set învățat de reguli), care permite accesul automat la toate informațiile prezentate public pe acest portal (straturi, coordonate de transport și metadate conexe, documente de îmbunătățire etc.), astfel încât alte persoane interesate actorii pot face analize care vor duce la oprirea exploatării ilegale.

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

 The online portal is an automatic method for identifying illegally cut timber transports from Romania. The users are able to observe alerts from satellites indicating information and once every few days (between 2 and 7 days depending on the satellite) any change in the aerial image associated with the forest vegetation in Romania. The portal also accesses the SUMAL database of the Ministry of Water and Forests in real time. From this database, information is extracted to be processed in the internal system, about the enhancement documents on wood harvests, the locations from where the timber transports are loaded and the information related to these points.The permits on wood harvest became digitalized, therefore all harvesting activity can be checked by satellite monitoring while the transports must obtain a unique code before leaving the place of loading. This code is only obtained after the transport information has been entered into the system, including the location where the code was requested.
The portal, through further developments, also contains an API (set learned of rules), which allows automatic access to all information publicly presented on this portal (layers, transport coordinates and related metadata, enhancement documents, etc.), so that other interested actors can make analyzes that will lead to stopping illegal logging.

Abstract

Thanks to TimFlow it is possible to check if the exploited wood is legal, if the supplier companies meet the requirements of the company's Due Dilligence system; Whether or not the wood comes from buffer zones of national parks or from other areas where intervention is not allowed. The most important quality of the Timflow system is the unprecedented level of transparency. All GPS data collected is publicly available on the portal also in English, which allows local and international stakeholders to check log shipments. Users can check via Timflow:

  • all transports in the country from the last 12 months which have reached the gates of HS Timber Productions’ sawmills in Romania;
  • information on transport documents;
  • photos of the cargo;
  • truck routes;
  • in addition, users can request copies of the transport documents.

In addition, users can request copies of the transport documents.With the help of Timflow, HS Timber Group ensures that all shipments are legal, meet the requirements of the Due Diligence system and that the loaded timber does not come from buffer zones of national parks. Timflow is an important part of HS Timber Group's Due Diligence system, which strongly supports the group's efforts to reduce the risk of non-compliant timber in the supply chain. 

The application started in April 2017, the number of registered users grew 60% in the first two months following the update, and the number of transports checked on the platform surpassed the 3,000 mark – a growth of 75%. In 2017 over the first six months in operation, Timflow has recorded real-life data from all the trucks delivering logs to the first company implementing the traceability system. This includes the precise routes of the transports, a reference to the documents of origin and photos of the cargo. For each of the 16,000 transports (as of October 2017) a unique dataset is stored securely on the Timflow servers.
