Remote sensing-based inventory process for precision forestry

AFRY Smart Forestry TreeMaps is the key for a forest manager to process remote sensing data, spaceborne or airborne, into detailed forest inventory information.

Better forest resource management with precise inventory information

AFRY Smart Forestry TreeMaps makes creating digital twins of forests possible by extracting high-resolution 3D information from widely available remote sensing data sources, such as drones or manned aircraft equipped with cameras or LiDAR sensors.

As drones or aircraft might sometimes be too local a solution, our software is capable of utilising openly available spaceborne sensor data. This allows inventorying vast areas effectively.

Forest digital twin and inventory data from TreeMaps support you in, for example:

Making better and more sustainable management decisions with more accurate inventory data

Effectively acquiring information about individual tree attributes. These include tree species, tree height, tree growth, tree mortality, and other tree data about the physiological processes taking place on the level of individual trees

Best Accuracy for Your Needs

Inventory accuracy impacts the whole forest supply chain

Poor inventory data leads to inaccurate wood procurement decisions. TreeMaps measures a forest's complete species and assortment distribution, leading to better decisions in wood supply planning.

Automated delineation of forest management units ensures accurate and objective description of productive forest area. It also enables optimising management activities at a detailed level, bringing increased clarity to your forest structure.

Cost Savings

More frequent resource monitoring with low investment

The cost of remote sensing is going down while the quality of the results is going up. AFRY Smart Forestry TreeMaps captures the full variation of forest stands without high-intensity and expensive field campaigns, creating forest digital twins in the process.

The availability of spaceborne remote sensing data is increasing exponentially, allowing frequent monitoring of any forest area globally.

The introduction of drones to forest inventories has made it possible to collect high-resolution images or LiDAR remote sensing information gathered via airborne laser scanning at a cost that allows frequent intervals.

Additionally, you can utilise either existing data or newly inventoried data in your carbon mapping projects, which facilitates presenting and marketing carbon credits of individual trees as natural climate solutions. (Read more:

How you benefit from Smart Forestry Manager?

Save time and money with a single system

Smart Forestry Manager offers you an intuitive user experience with all top-notch features of the world-class forestry management software, which is also available offline when working on fields.

You can manage your whole portfolio across country borders in one system with one login, without sacrificing locally calibrated forest data and operation models

High quality data for better decisions

Bad inputs usually mean bad outputs. From standing stock attributes to stand geometries, forest inventory data is often complex and prone to outdated information and errors.

That’s why we have carefully built-in data validation rules to Manager, to make sure your data stays relevant and in good shape, regardless of who uses the system.

More efficiency with better communication

With Smart Forestry Manager it's possible to streamline communication by sharing limited access to service providers. You can also send notifications and requests to external systems, e.g. directly from the system
