Abstract: The method for controlling a forwarder comprises storing in a control unit of the forwarder one or more predetermined paths of a head of an articulated boom of the forwarder or a grapple suspended from the head; enabling an automatic transfer of the head or the grapple along one of the paths. The enabling is carried out manually by an operator with the help of a control device; setting off the automatic transfer with the help of a predetermined motion or sequence of motions carried out manually. The method further comprises automatically transferring the head or the grapple under control of the control unit, from a current position of the head or the grapple representing a starting position of the path, along the path, and to an end of the path; stopping the head or the grapple at the end of the path; and automatically disabling the automatic transfer of the head or the grapple after reaching the stopping position.

Abstract: A load control device includes a camera to capture information of objects of load handled by a load handling device to forward such information to a computer, which compares load data derived therefrom with reference data in a data source and emits a signal to an output device in the case of a certain conflict between the data.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for controlling the crane of a working machine by using boom tip control, in which method the crane comprises at least two booms connected to the working machine and each other in an articulated manner, which booms are moved in relation to the working machine and to each other by means of actuators controlled by a control system of the working machine, and in which method the direction and speed of motion of the head of the crane, controlled by the driver applying controls in the working machine, is implemented by applying speeds of the different booms of the crane.

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.
