  • Publication number: 20250063998
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a forestry system (1). The forestry system comprises a harvester (10) comprising an electrical energy generator, and a plurality of self-driving shuttles (20a-f) for transporting logs harvested by the harvester. Each shuttle comprises an electrical energy storage and at least one electrical motor powered by the electrical energy storage. The electrical energy storage of said shuttle is configured to be coupled to the electrical energy generator and charged thereby. The harvester is configured to load a harvested log onto a coupled shuttle and charge the electrical energy storage of said coupled shuttle using electrical energy from the electrical energy generator.

  • Publication number: 20240417115
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a forestry monitoring system comprising an unmanned aerial vehicle. UAV (30) and a computing device (35). The UAV comprises an electrical energy storage (31). an electric motor (32) powered by the electrical energy storage, a propulsion arrangement (33) driven by the electric motor and configured to aerially manoeuvre the UAV and an imaging arrangement (34) configured to collect information about a forestry site, the forestry site having one or more forestry machines performing forestry operations therein. The computing device is configured to obtain the collected information from the UAV, process the collected information to determine monitoring information for the forestry site, and determine a path decision for at least one of the one or more forestry machines based on the determined monitoring information of the forestry site.
