Digitalization in Forest Engineering
Abstract
Digitisation is one of the key drivers of a sustainable bioeconomy. Digitisation as a technology- and management-oriented change of forest production systems already offers a wide range of applications in forestry. While such approaches are already widely used in other industries, progress is very slow in forestry technology. The present project draft aims at improving cost and energy efficiency as well as the possible environmental impact of forestry value chains through digitisation in the machine and process sector. The practical suitability of the application is a key focus. An Airborne Laserscanning-based decision support tool for the spatially explicit estimation of the amount of damaged wood after storm events with subsequent optimization of the processing shall be developed. This will enable crisis management to objectively determine the quantities of damaged timber and improve the planning of processing. Tools (Smart Services) for the exploitation of machine data are to be developed for timber harvesting with chainsaws and cable yarders to improve operational management and increase cost and energy efficiency. The use of innovative technologies for the sustainable supply of wood in mountainous areas is supposed to improve cost efficiency by increasing productivity and reducing fuel consumption while at the same time protecting the resource forest as much as possible and is thus an active contribution to climate protection.
