1st Technical Meeting - WP5

Project SLOPE is developing a forest information system to optimize timber harvesting and supply chain operations. The system will integrate real-time data on tree sizes, product distributions, and harvesting machine positions. It aims to develop modules for inventory data, real-time supply chain control, online purchasing and invoicing, and short and long-term optimization. Partners will utilize existing solutions like MHG Biomass Manager and develop new applications to track harvesting data, manage transportation logistics, and facilitate online commerce between producers and buyers. The system seeks to strengthen industry linkages and competitiveness through information sharing.

- 10. WP5. Forest information system development Kick-off Meeting 8-9/jan/2014 •Task 5.1 Database to support novel inventory data content – MHG • Partners: GRAPHITECH, CNR, COAST, FLY, TRE, ITENE • MHG Portal Platform as a basis • M08-M17 • Task 5.2 Platform for near real time control of operations–TRE • Partners: GRAPHITECH, CNR, MHG, TRE, ITENE • M11-M22 Task’s objective is to develop a system (MHG) for near real time control of operations that integrates the information about the timber material origin, quality and quantities being processed along the supply chain in order to optimize procedures and avoid delay times in operations (i.e. manage transport fleet in order to avoid saturation of storage areas at the cable crane landing). This will be achieved by the implementation of a series of different interfaces to access the FIS and allow a number of different operations • Note! Utilization of features and scalability of current services like the Forest Warehouse, MHG Biomass Manager, MHG Mobile, Iptim, Boku´s, Itene´s and Graphitech´s solutions
