John Deere offers a new smart solution for forest machine work. Timbermatic Maps the maps application offers a new way to visualize the logging site. The solution streamlines and improves the teamwork of the operators working at the site. The machine operators and the contractor get a real time view of the progress at the site. The harvester's data about the felled logs and their location, as well as the routes of the machines operating at the logging site are displayed on the map. Timbermatic Maps makes work planning and selecting the driving route easier. The map shows the operator the exact amount of each logged assortment by driving route or by area. The operator can easily see the volumes at the storage area and all the logs that have not yet been transported. The operator has a precise real time view of the felled logs, the logs transported to the roadside, as well as the logs that are still to be forwarded. If there is an urgent need for a specific assortment, it can be delivered for further transport quickly. Estimating volumes is a thing of the past. The operator has precise information about volumes at all times. The location of each processed log is displayed in real time on the map. This means that every single log gets transported to the storage area. With the assortment selection, the forwarder operator can see the location and volumes of the logs. Not only does this make work planning easier, it also decreases unnecessary driving as well as the transporting of loads that are not full. The map solution wirelessly links harvesters and forwarders with each other. In addition to the logs felled, the harvester also transmits other data to the forwarder. The operators can mark up the map to highlight noteworthy areas. This eliminates surprises for the forwarder operator when planning the driving route. Monitoring work progress at the logging site improves and so does the collaboration between the operators. The forwarder operator can easily mark the transported logs on the map to move them to the storage area. The operator on the following shift sees the precise situation at the logging site right down to the individual log. The application is a standard feature in new John Deere G series forest machines. A new step for easy and smart forest machine operations. Timbermatic Maps Stop guessing.
