TimberMatic Maps gives operators a real-time production view to the logging site. The data collected by the harvester’s sensors and the precise GPS-based location of the felled timber, is automatically transmitted from the harvester to the TimberMatic Maps application for use by the forwarder operator.
TimberMatic Maps shows in real-time the positioning and location of logs and the progress of the work at the job site.
Maps gives the operator visual information about the positioning and location of logs on the ground. Maps also shows which side of the tracks the logs are located. If the harvester doesn’t have IBC 3.0, the logs appear as dots.
Maps displays the location and volume of the timber assortment to be loaded. As the loads are transported, the progress is automatically updated on the map and the piles that have been loaded disappear from the map.
Maps has plenty of improvements to make it easy to use. The production view shows what percentage of the completed production is decay, fibre or saw timber.
The data between the machines are updated through a cloud service, and all the operators working at the same work site can see all the tree species and assortments with the driving routes right down to the individual logs.
The site planning included in the TimberMatic Maps program assists in taking into use the logging plans created in TimberManager. If there is no ready-made plan, it can also be created directly in TimberMatic Maps program and the site planning gives detailed guidance. When the area has been drawn in TimberMatic Maps, it is possible to check the timber assortments and total volumes for the whole work site.
With the good planning of the landing area locations and the more exact timing of the produced timber assortments, the whole production and logistics process can be streamlined. Machine uptime is improved and the harvester operator's own work planning is easier. When the track network is well planned in advance, the driving distance and fuel consumption decrease and the nature sites get more visibility.
The guided planning phases of the tool support the machine operator with work planning. This way the work is faster and the harvesting quality is better.

TimberMatic Maps is a new way of visualizing a logging site. The application clarifies and improves the teamwork of the machines. The operators and contractor have a real-time view to the progress of the work site.
The operator marks the forwarded timber as transported to the storage area. The operator of the next shift knows where to start their work. There is no need for an estimate of the volume and not a single log will be left even in a dark forest, for different assortments are shown on the map right down to the single log even if they are covered by snow.
Forwarder operator can choose the desired assortment from a specific area or along a logging route and the map will show the exact volume of that assortment in the chosen area. The operators can also mark special areas on the map. This way e. g. soft ground can be avoided when planning the driving route.
The map shows all the assortments down to the single log with the logging route network. Planning the work and the best driving route will be very simple.
