Field test: Controlling of cable yarding operations
BOKU and Konrad are working on enabling advanced operation progress monitoring and performance evaluation through pooling sensor information on cable yarders. The first field test has taken place during a downhill yarding operation with a Konrad Mounty 4000 yarder to test the system under real-life conditions, contributing to work package 3 – harvesting. Stay informed […]

Publication: Spatial distribution of the potential forest biomass availability in Europe
European forests are considered a crucial resource for supplying biomass to a growing bio-economy in Europe. This study aimed to assess the potential availability of forest biomass from European forests and its spatial distribution. We tried to answer the questions (i) how is the potential forest biomass availability spatially distributed across Europe and (ii) where […]

Publication: Decreasing Fuel Consumption of Excavator-Based Harvesters with Machine Control System
Compared with purpose-built units, excavator-based harvesters offer many advantages, but they consume more fuel. Fuel efficiency can be increased by a better interface between the excavator and the harvester head. Spinelli et al from CNR just published testing results of a new adaptation kit in Forests 2019 (10(1), 43; https://doi.org/10.3390/f10010043). The kit is specifically designed […]

SGGW field trip for silviculture case study
Partners from SGGW visited case study areas for the silvicultural work package (WP2) in the Polanów Forest District to identify most productive silvicultural systems, techniques and technologies and assess them. This State Forest District is located in the northern part of Poland, with about 91,000 m3 of wood harvested annually, mainly pine, beech, spruce and […]
First public deliverable: Identifying and extending key silvicultural systems
The silviculture work package (WP2) focuses on the optimization of the access to wood resources. This goal involves two main aspects: The evaluation of appropriate silvicultural operations, and The application of appropriate harvesting techniques – aiming at the promotion of mechanized systems wherever possible. Appropriate silvicultural measures are principally intended to increase wood production, maintain […]
TECH4EFFECT at FORMEC 2018
The 51 International Symposium on Forestry Mechanization from 25-27 September 2018 in Madrid has an impressive list of talks from TECH4EFFECT partners, on a wide range of topics. Most of our project is covered in those talks: advances in forestry mechanization, our efficiency portal, fuel efficiency in harvesting, an app for motor-manual bucking and much […]
