Rosewood 4.0

A forestry plan gives you an overview of the property and provides a basis for making good priorities. The forestry plan divides the forest into stands and recommends which measures should or must be carried out in the individual stand. With ALLMA, the forestry plan has become digital and is always with you via iPhone and tablet. Technological developments have made the forestry plan even better and more useful than before.

Advantages using Allma:

• -Full overview of own forest and property boundaries.
• -Always updated forestry plan in your pocket.
• -The forest is growing - in ALLMA the growth is calculated and updated.
• -Gives a clue as to when it is most profitable to harvest.
• -Takes into account important environmental values.
• -Opportunity to submit a request for forest services from your local cooperative.

ALLMA is an abbreviation for ALLSKOG, Mjøsen Skog and AT Skog. These three forest cooperatives are behind the development of ALLMA. The foundation in ALLMA is a modern database for storage and production of forestry plan data.

Never has the world had greater need for sustainable solutions. Think wood is an industry initiative from several companies and organizations within the Norwegian forest and wood industry. Together, we want to show how forests and trees can contribute in the fight against climate changes. Since its inception in 2019, the project has developed a number of articles and films, which easily and engagingly show what kind of products can be made of wood. Everything that is currently made of oil can in principle also be made of wood – and that with far lower emissions. The overall goal of the initiative is to show people why forests and wood are an important part of the climate solution. If we are going to achieve the UN’s sustainable climate goals, consumers, businesses, and politicians must actively choose renewable resources, such as wood, over non-renewable resources like petroleum and coal. Wood is the future. Not only as a resource, but as a green job creator all over Norway.

Prominifun tiene como objetivo desarrollar un proyecto para solucionar el problema de la valorización de parcelas forestales de pequeño tamaño, además del abandono del territorio en general y de sus consecuencias, como la reiteración de incendios forestales y la pérdida de biodiversidad. Las soluciones girarán en torno a 3 pilares: eficiencia, innovación e investigación, a través del análisis de la estrucura de la propiedad y de su potencialidad productiva, y la gestión de áreas abandonadas y propiedad desconocida.

Por lo tanto, los objetivos más específicos del Grupo Operativo son los siguientes:

• Promover un sector agrícola y forestal que utilice eficientemente los recursos, que sea económicamente viable, productivo y competitivo; que tenga un escaso nivel de emisiones; que sea respetuoso con el clima y resistente a los cambios climáticos; que trabaje hacia sistemas de producción ecológica y en armonía con los recursos naturales esenciales de los que dependen la agricultura y la silvicultura.

• Crear valor añadido a través de una relación más estrecha entre investigación y prácticas agrícolas y forestales,  fomentando un mayor uso del conocimiento disponible.

• Promover una aplicación práctica más rápida e implantada de soluciones innovadoras.

The main objective of SISREP is to make use of the information obtained during inspections in the framework of aid for afforestation and the creation of forest areas in Castilla y León in order to:

• Use of the information obtained in the field for the management of the controlled files.
• Creation of a centralised and geo-referenced database with information on the state of plantations.
• To be able to predict, by means of artificial intelligence techniques, the success of future plantations.
• With the knowledge extracted, review and improve the planning of future actions, allowing the implementation of the most appropriate technical conditions for the new environmental circumstances.

To this end, an infrastructure has been designed and implemented that allows the digitalisation of the entire workflow, from data collection in the field to the use of these data in advanced statistical analysis tools.

The data collected in the field are for example species, altitude, density, slope, method, orientation, age, lithography, with or without sowing, or area.

ForestHQ facilitates the management of forest operations and processes. This platform adds value to the data and improves the access and sharing of information. ForestHQ  includes different key modules:

• Forest inventory, valuation, and carbon MRV. This module includes mobile apps for field data collection, models, and analytics to quantify timber products and carbon. 
  • Rapid measurement with the Arboreal app (iOS) or traditional measurement tools.
  • Simple and automated analytics, carbon estimation, and forest valuation
  • Online mapping of inventories with location-based metrics
  • Online reporting including, timber product breakdown, digital maps, and valuation reports
  • Compatible with ForestBidder Online Marketplace
• Remote harvesting monitoring.  This module includes a connection with harvester machines for remote monitoring of the harvesting operations. This tool increases the control of the operations and significantly reduces costs and field visits.  
  •  Manage harvesting contractors
  •  Track harvest progress remotely
  •  Monitor log product optimisation performance
  •  Harvester products and stem locations for granular information and visual maps
  •  HarvestSync App (android) for onboard data collection with auto-syncing
• Land management. ForestHQ makes it easy to manage your forest properties and activities. This is a collaborative platform that facilities the visibility of data and communications.
  • Manage forest properties and client database
  • Easily map forest sub-compartments online
  • Plan and manage forest operations and activities
  • Manage and track documents, felling licenses, permits, and grants
  • Assign and share documents and tasks
  • Integrate with your existing systems

Further modules will include tools for forest certification, carbon sequestration projects, and forest management plans. 

ForestHQ can be customised and adapted to the different user needs, with simple user interfaces it is an ideal solution for forest owners, small and large organisations

Forest machine is the most natural and effective way to access a forest fire area. Operations in difficult terrain come as second nature to them, and they have more than enough capacity in their hydraulic system for demanding conditions. The firefighting equipment is delivered to the fire location as a single package – and after it has been connected to forest machine hydraulics, the equipment is ready to operate.

The 10 m³ water tank of the firefighting equipment can be filled with its own pump from a natural water source or the tank of a fire truck. The water cannon has a range of 47 metres and a turning radius of 360 degrees. It takes 5 to 10 minutes to refill the tank. The filling hose is guided by the forwarder's boom and the strainer on the tank roof takes out the biggest debris. The water cannon is controlled with the remote control. The system draws its power from the hydraulics of the forwarder.

The LasInfo system is a comprehensive product consisting of several interlinked applications. It is targeted at national parks, municipal and communal forests and experimental forestry units. It provides support for forest land management and monitoring of timber harvest and sales, as well as for the implementation of tasks specified in the protection plan and nature monitoring.

The solution consists of four basic modules: the central database, the LasInfo Client application, the GIS application and the Forester’s Electronic Logbook. This allows for coordinated management of elements such as nature conservation, forest management, spatial data and cadastral data. It is possible to tailor the solution to individual users by implementing only some or all elements of the system. The shared database in turn eliminates the problem of incompatibility between different systems and data formats.

Components of the LasInfo system:

• Software: centralized database, LasInfo application, LasInfo Timber Trade application, Digital Map, Nature Monitoring, Mobile GIS.
• Devices/infrastructure: server (local or "in the cloud"), network and VPN devices, mobile devices.

Functionalities of the Lasinfo system:

• property records: cadastral records, forest inventory data;
• planning (protection tasks) system: stock surveys, creation of planning items, handling of invitations to tender, register of execution (work orders, work acceptance);
• timber sales: documentation on incoming and outgoing timber, timber contracts, timber stock, forester's logbook;
• Forest protection and silviculture documents: dead wood inventory, fire registry, regeneration assessment report, natural regeneration assessment report;
• reporting of: planned works, timber sales, work orders/executions;
• numerical map: the Digital Forest Map standard, the GIS data standard in nature conservation, nature monitoring, map reporting, mobile GIS.

The system has been rolled out in 11 Polish national parks; moreover, among the LasInfo users are forestry experimental units (Murowana Goślina, Siemianice, Rogów, Krynica-Zdrój), municipal and communal forest managers and maritime offices managing forest areas.

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.
