Ponsse's new digital service revolutionises the monitoring of logging emissions

Emission reporting helps meet environmental requirements.

The company’s Ponsse Manager system collects data produced by forest machines and visualise it as user-friendly reports. Available as the paid Ponsse Manager Pro and the free Ponsse Manager Standard service package, the system brings improved transparency and control to the work of forest machine owners, operators and office workers. Ponsse Manager Map Tools works seamlessly with the forwarders of all manufacturers. While a Ponsse harvester is required to provide data, any forwarder, including subcontractor forwarders, can be connected to the system.

The Map Tools are a new core feature of the Ponsse Manager Pro service package. They can show both machine routes and harvester production rates by assortment on a map. This allows forwarder operators to easily check how many stems are waiting for transport in the forest as well as what is already in storage.    

As the first forest machine manufacturer in the world, Ponsse presents the Emissions Report function included in the Manager Pro service package calculates and shows the atmospheric CO₂ emissions of harvesters and forwarders on the machine, site and company level for a given period.

The monitoring of site-specific emissions helps reduce fuel consumption, which effectively supports the meeting of both environmental requirements and business goals. Emission reporting also helps to identify which machines are best suited for different logging sites. The reports provide different perspectives to emissions: from individual machines to the company level by working method or period. Source
