Description (French)
Ce projet s'inscrit dans le domaine en évolution de l'automatisation des coupes forestières, visant à mettre sur le marché un produit pour faciliter le tronçonnage du bois lors des opérations de coupes. L'objectif est d'améliorer la productivité en tenant compte de la forme des arbres, qui peut affecter jusqu'à 20% du rendement et entraîner des pertes significatives. De plus, le système créé facilitera le suivi du volume de bois récolté en temps réel, permettant d'optimiser les chaînes logistiques de transport pour les compagnies forestières.
