The Bucking App is a software for mobile devices to calculate into which length and parts to cut a tree in terms of revenue during motor-manual harvesting operations. Jointly developed by BOKU, Latschbacher and the Austrian Federal Forests (ÖBf), first field tests were conducted recently in Austria.
The first review coming out of TECH4EFFECT has just been published in the Croatian Journal of Forestry Engineering (CROJFE):
Applications of Remote and Proximal Sensing for Improved Precision in Forest Operations
Bruce Talbot, Marek Pierzchała and Rasmus Astrup provide an overview of recent developments in remote and proximal sensing technologies and their basic applicability to various aspects of forest operations.

General characterisation of sensor deployment platform to spatial coverage and temporal resolution (adapted from Pierzchała 2017)
Project partners LUKE, CNR-IVALSA and PONSSE successfully conducted field trials near Jyväskylä, Finland, on the efficiency of cut-to-length harvesting machines in cooperation with a contractor and their operators. The aim was to reduce the fuel consumption of harvesters during cut-to-length operations by applying various technical settings to the machines, like idle times, engine settings and fine-tuning of hydraulic power supply components.
A team of three to seven researchers, three operators and representatives of the manufacturer was working on site, collecting lots of measurements, study data and video material. Three different PONSSE harvesters were studied but similar measures can then also be applied for other machine types, such as forwarders used in timber extraction.
