WP5. Forest information system development

Kick-off Meeting 8-9/jan/2014

•Task 5.1 Database to support novel inventory data content – MHG• Partners: GRAPHITECH, CNR, COAST, FLY, TRE, ITENE• MHG Portal Platform as a basis• M08-M17

• Task 5.2 Platform for near real time control of operations–TRE• Partners: GRAPHITECH, CNR, MHG, TRE, ITENE• M11-M22

Task’s objective is to develop a system (MHG) for near real time control of operations that integrates the information about the timber material origin, quality and quantities being processed along the supply chain in order to optimize procedures and avoid delay times in operations (i.e. manage transport fleet in order to avoid saturation of storage areas at the cable crane landing).This will be achieved by the implementation of a series of different interfaces to access the FIS and allow a number of different operations• Note! Utilization of features and scalability of current services like the Forest Warehouse, MHG Biomass Manager, MHG Mobile, Iptim, Boku´s, Itene´s and Graphitech´s solutions

• Task 5.3 Online purchasing/invoicing of industrial timber and biomass – MHG• Partners: GRAPHITECH, CNR, TRE, ITENE• M19-M28• Huge field for development!

• Task 5.4 Short-term optimization–BOKU• Partners: CNR, MHG, TRE, ITENE• M18-M27• Note! Utilization of Iptim´s features and scalability

• Task 5.5 Mid-long term optimization; strategic and tactical planning - MHG• Partners: GRAPHITECH, FLY, TRE, ITENE• M18-M27• Note! Utilization of Iptim´s features and scalability

T.5.3. Online purchasing/invoicing of industrial timber and biomass

Kick-off Meeting 8-9/jan/2014

Partners: GRAPHITECH, CNR, TRE, ITENE• Most important operational (and with commercial launch) tool for SLOPE

pilots?! • Activities performed:• Initial benchmarking ecommerce solutions in Finland, Russia, USA, and

Europe • Met platform developers in Brussels (Aebiom btob event) , Jönköping

Sweden (Worldbioenergy 2014 – matchmaking event), Lahti , Suomen Metsäkeskus

• Closed deal with VerdantéBioenergy Services, North Carolina, USA• The deal covers collaboration in ecomerce services• Workshop in Mikkeli 4-6 of August

• Planed a conference participation in the USA, compensation of costs?• PlugIn concept developed for easy integration

T.5.3. Online purchasing/invoicing of industrial timber and biomass

Kick-off Meeting 8-9/jan/2014

Continue• Vision; Easy to use mobile application a key to bring timber and biomass more

to market up to requirements of end-users• Mobile app for forest owners and other players in the ecommerce under

construction; android (1st) + HTML5• To be downloaded free of charge for SLOPE users• Works also on Windows (2nd ) and Apple platforms (3rd)• Prototype ready week 32/2014• Forest owners and others can document and position easily on Slope

system what/what kind they´ve to offer• Negotiation and transaction platform under research• Other ongoing collaboration negotiations (Finnish Forest management

associations, Metla)• Recruitment process ongoing
