Forest condition monitoring and risk assessment system
The specialist receives a report on the change in the state of the forest and plans an inspection. The result of the inspection is preserved at the site, and the immediate signs are transmitted by the prescribed response.
Satellite, meteorological, fire, pest, field survey and neighbouring areas data are not combined into a single risk monitoring. The breach spreads out, the value of wood deteriorates, and the cost of sanitation and restoration increases.
How the solution works
- Get the right time and detail monitoring
- Recognize change and lack of data
- Identifying the need for screening or emergency response
- Capture the conclusion of the competent survey
- Pass a reasonable action and check its completion
Key challenges
- Storms, fires, pests and disease violations are detected too late
Solution capabilities
Source of change
The signal is indicated by the date of the satellite or drone image, resolution and the photographed area. Places without relevant images are marked as unverified.
Verification Priority
The nature of the change, its possible effects and its real reach are evaluated. Crossing or seasonal change is not declared disease by color difference alone.
Rapid transmission of alerts
A possible fire warning is immediately transmitted in accordance with the established response procedures. Responsible personnel see its location and available monitoring information.
Review response
Confirmed problem, unclear case and false signal are stored separately. Usability is also checked against unobserved significant cases.
Business context
- Storms, fires, pests and disease violations are detected too late
- Satellite, meteorological, fire, pest, field survey and neighbouring areas data are not combined into a single risk monitoring. The breach spreads out, the value of wood deteriorates, and the cost of sanitation and restoration increases.
- A verified assessment of forest status is provided to the owner
- The remote change signal may indicate different causes, so it is not sufficient for a solution alone. Linked inspection allows the violation to be clarified and reasonable information to be passed on to the owner. The necessary work can be discussed below, taking into account the evaluation of specialists and the response order.
Core features
- Source of change
- Verification Priority
- Rapid transmission of alerts
- Review response
Key integrations
- Sources of remote images and location observations
- Change, measurement quality and survey fact.
- The course of forest work and response
- Proper recipient and action actually performed.
Potential impact (%)
The ranges indicate an illustrative relative change in the metric under the stated assumptions. Results depend on the starting position and actual use of the solution. Percentages for different metrics must not be added together.
Priority signal verification delay
6–25%Decreasing
This illustrative scenario assumes that 20-50% of waiting caused by missing information or unclear responsibility can be addressed. That share is assumed to fall by 30-50%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable share and the resulting change.
Measure the hours from an accessible signal to a proper inspection, grouped according to urgency.
Coordination work for unjustified checks
16–42%Decreasing
This illustrative scenario assumes that 40-70% of information searches and repeated cross-checks can be addressed. That share is assumed to fall by 40-60%. Company data is needed to verify both the addressable workload and the resulting change.
Measure hours of work for checks caused by a known data or interpretation error.
Conditional calculation scenarios. The assumptions have not been validated against client measurements.
When this solution is relevant
- Many forest areas are managed, and it is therefore necessary to reasonably determine which ones to inspect first.
- Monitoring reports are not linked to responsible personnel, inspection findings and follow-up work.
Implementation requirements
For remote monitoring, reliable sources of change are selected and criteria determining the need for inspection. Signals must obtain a local verification conclusion and, where justified, an action of a work plan; for emergencies, direct response procedures are maintained.
Further expansion
- Additional types of violations after their specific detection quality and action check.
