Today’s Problem:
At present, the typical grower or purchaser does not accurately know the quantity or quality of a timber sale, until after the trees are harvested. This leads to poor decisions. It is estimated that on average worldwide, 20% of the potential value of a forest is lost in this way.
TreeMetrics Value Proposition is to:
- Reduce measurement costs by up to 75%.
- Develop stem volume and taper data at forest level.
- Predetermine product assortment in the forest.
- Maximise product recovery in the forest and the sawmill.
- Simulate sawing patterns in the forest.
- Match the right forest to the right mill / order.
- Provide decision support tools on supply chain optimisation and growth models.
- Further assess quality attributes of standing trees e.g. straightness, sweep, branching, ovality, butt swell and lean i.e. compression and tension wood.
- Provide an independent transparent measurement system for all stakeholders
- Monitor forest condition.
