  • Publication number: 20240074365
    Abstract: There is provided maintaining, at a network service operatively connected to a logging machine, master forest resource information, wherein the master forest resource information comprises prediction cells for product yield over a work area or a set of work areas, receiving, at the network service from the logging machine, logging machine measurements associated with the work area or the set of work areas, associating, at the network service, the received logging machine measurements to at least one prediction cell of the master forest resource information, determining, at the network service, based on the received logging machine measurements, a logging machine product yield for the work area or the set of work areas, modeling, at the network service, a difference between the logging machine product yield and a product yield of the at least one prediction cell, and compensating, at the network service, product yields of prediction cells based on the modeled difference.

  • Publication number: 20190213691
    Abstract: A method for operating forestry machinery includes providing timber units with forestry machines and an operation processor. The method also includes detecting or receiving data from an information source, where the data includes worksite preparation data, navigation data, or worksite situation data. The data is processed by the operation processor and operation parameters of the forestry machine are set based on the processing of the data. The method further includes communicating instructions to the forestry machine by the operation processor, where the instructions include the operation parameters.

  • Patent number: 8521353
    Abstract: A system and a method for monitoring the performance of a subsystem of a forest machine. The method comprises the steps of: collecting data relating to the function of said subsystem or the performing of said function; determining one or more characteristic values to describe the performance continually according to data; and monitoring the variation of said one or more characteristic values in time, wherein, for example, the variation of said one or more characteristic values in time is displayed in the form of a graphic presentation to the user.

  • Patent number: 8364440
    Abstract: A system and method for evaluating the productivity of a working machine and its driver in a real or virtual operating environment is controlled by a control system to perform work, and in which the work cycles relating to the work performed by the working machine are determined by continuous measurements directed to the working machine when it is controlled by the driver. Characteristic values relating to the performance of the determined work cycles are collected on the basis of the continuous measurements for the purpose of evaluating the performance of the work or for comparison.
