Increasing the Resolution in which we Manage

David Herries
Interpine Innovation

Several industries recognise the benefits of increasing the resolution in which we manage.   We often refer to this as increasing the precision of our management thought smart decision making with better and more timely information; or “precision forestry”.

Considerable work is being done relating to remote sensing our forests with LiDAR, the use of UAV (a.k.a Drones or RPAS) technology in the sector, and adoption of computer based harvesting systems as the industry mechanises to reduce human health and safety risk.

David provided  an insight on the use of these technologies and their application in the forest sector, in the move to “precision forestry”.    This will reflect and provide a view on how other primary industry sectors are using technology to make gains in productivity and remain competitive on the international market.
