The efficient and sustainable technology – the Harvesting Technology, is steadily growing and becoming an important consideration in forestry sector. In LIGNA 2015 some manufacturers featured a new generation of harvesting solutions that had been developed along these lines and are therefore ideally suited to help forestry companies and forest contractors meet their industry’s increasingly stringent performance requirements.
Manufacturers of Forestry machineries are now looking forward to the sustainable harvesting technology that ensures economy, ecology, sustainability and efficiency.
Technology is highly dependent on machines. For this reason, machines have to be energy and resource efficient. Harvesting machines should be more reliable in the case of harvesting technology. Moreover, sustainability is an increasingly important consideration in forestry machinery manufacturers’ R&D programs. They also need to have minimal impact on forest soil because compacted soils adversely affect the nutrient cycle. Flexibility, is the another key of consideration. The highly variable topography of many forests poses considerable challenges. Machines that have been developed for very specific applications are usually only of limited use in such environments.
Digitization is the key priority in forestry industry. In the future, digitization and improved systems integration in forestry operations will drive substantial further gains on both fronts. While the forestry machines used by many forestry companies already feature highly sophisticated on-board computers, the data generated by those computers often goes unused because the companies lack the requisite digital network infrastructure. At this year’s LIGNA, the German Forestry Council (KWF) presented the latest forestry technology developments at its Entrepreneurial Expertise Center. Among the highlights for forestry experts had demonstrated of how digital technology could be used to configure forestry machines with an unprecedented level of accuracy, resulting in significant efficiency and profitability gains.
