FPInnovations’ automated log loader project to detect and handle logs on the ground
FPInnovations’ automated log loader can detect and handle logs on the ground. In the long term, this technology will be applied to other forestry machines that handle wood. FPInnovations also aims at automating loading operations in the forest and at the mill. The development of this automated log loader is part of FPInnovations’ larger project to bring automation to the forest industry. The benefits of automating forestry operations are numerous: costs reduction, increase in productivity and creation of high-tech jobs.
