Key features:
- Get up to 20% more harvested forest value
- True-shape 3D scanning and tree length optimisation
- True-shape and JAS volume scaling
- Sweep, wobble and diameter calculation
- Defect recognition using deep learning
- Real-time operations monitoring and reporting
- Centralised wood-flow management
- Inventory recording and tracking with Geo-location and Geo-fencing
- StanForD compatibility
- Build in analytic tools for data analyses
The system is designed to work with current logging equipment and machinery from the small logging contractor to large sawmill operations. Production recording with smartphone - Well suited for motor manual log-making and silviculture operations
- Record stem volume processed and volume by log-grade
- Record working hours and downtime
- Remotely receive updated cutting instructions
- Remotely receive updated harvest schedules
- Integrate with Forestbucker Web Service for real-time reporting
It is all about productivity, forest value recovery and safety
- Securely connect all stakeholders from any location to the Web Service

ForestBucker™ Stem Scanner is a portable tree stem scanner and value optimiser. The system will automatically scan and scale a delimbed tree and then calculate the optimal log-grade solution for the stem. ForestBucker is designed to operate at or near the tree harvesting site. Read more...
Profile-it 3D™ is a Windows based software component of the ForestBucker system. It uses true-shape 3D scanning and tree-length optimisation to provide maximum log value recovery. The software remotely controls the scanner trolley to automatically scan stem properties like diameters, volume, length, sweep and wobble. Video cameras mounted on the trolley provide video and images of the stem to enable an operator to record additional stem properties like knots and other defects. Read more...
