Fordaq launches Logsize, a new Android mobile application to measure log stacks. Users download the app on a mobile or tablet, take a picture of the log stack and the app then identifies the GPS position of the stack, counts the number of logs, measures the diameter of the logs and the volume of the log stack.
This information is subsequently uploaded online in the Logsize portal. In this portal other employees of the same company can control what was measured & the GPS position of log stacks on a map. The data can be exported in various formats to the company’s computers.
The app is being used by clients for different purposes:
- Measure faster log stacks in forest, digitalise the measurement data & pin point the log stacks on a digital map
- Measure truck loads when arriving at sawmill or other transformation plant
- Scale logs upon arrival
- Accelerate inventories of logs on log yards
- Reduce theft or illegal logs procurement
To test the app, go to www.logsize.com and download the app.
