Challenge description
Description of the Challenge | How can we get information about forests standing stocks (e.g. volume), sanitary status (e.g. presence of pests and diseases), and progress of forest operations (e.g. equipment productivity) in a cheaper way and with the level of detail needed for conducting forest management? |
---|---|
Context | Forest owners, forest industries and other companies involved in forest management and wood supply need to make everyday decisions about what and when to harvest, in order to fulfil the demand for wood in the most cost-effective and sustainable way. |
Fundamental requirements and constraints | The emerging digital technologies and IoT can help to obtain the information needed for forest management in a cheaper way, but there are challenges to overcome such as data storing, connectivity, data analytics and advanced planning features. The potential for cross-fertilization with solutions developed for the agriculture area exists. |
