Ponsse’s New Digital Service Revolutionizes Logging Emission Monitoring

In an era where environmental responsibility is paramount, Ponsse, a globally recognized leader in the forest machine manufacturing industry, is taking significant strides towards sustainable logging with its innovative digital solutions. The latest offering, the PONSSE Manager system, is designed to facilitate better monitoring and reporting of logging emissions, ultimately fostering more responsible business practices in the sector.

Enhancing Oversight with PONSSE Manager

The PONSSE Manager system is a game-changer for forest machine owners and operators. It collects critical data generated by forest machines and transforms it into accessible, user-friendly reports. This multifunctional system comes in two packages: the PONSSE Manager Standard, which is free, and the premium PONSSE Manager Pro. This digital tool significantly enhances transparency and control over logging operations, ensuring that stakeholders are well-informed and can make data-driven decisions.

Ponsse’s Sales Manager for Digital Services, Petteri Tuomisto, emphasizes the company's commitment to innovation: "We are continuously adapting our digital solutions to meet the unique needs of our customers. The new features we’ve developed—such as the Emissions Report and Map Tools—were created in close collaboration with our network to improve operational planning and efficiency."

Map Tools for Log Management

A pivotal feature in the PONSSE Manager Pro package is the integration of Map Tools. These tools allow operators to visualize machine routes and assess harvester production rates on a map, thereby simplifying logistics management in the field. Operators are now equipped to quickly check the status of stems waiting for transportation, as well as those already in storage.

In the logging environment, harvester operators often face unpredictable challenges, such as obstacles or soft ground conditions, that necessitate clear communication with forwarders. The Map Tools enable them to mark these challenges as points of interest (POIs) on the maps, ensuring that crucial information travels seamlessly across the supply chain.

Furthermore, the unpredictable nature of the environment—like snowfall covering logs—can hinder operators’ ability to identify tree species and accurately locate them. The production monitoring capabilities of PONSSE Manager working harmoniously with the Map Tools facilitate timely decision-making, keeping operations running smoothly and efficiently.

Leading the Charge in Emission Reporting

Ponsse stands as the pioneer in the logging equipment sector by introducing the Emissions Report feature, now part of the Manager Pro service. This groundbreaking function calculates the CO₂ emissions produced by harvesters and forwarders, providing invaluable insights at the machine, site, and company level over specified periods.

Understanding site-specific emissions is vital, as it directly supports both environmental compliance and business objectives. Tuomisto elaborates, "By monitoring emissions, we can effectively reduce fuel consumption and identify which machinery is most suitable for varying logging sites. Our reports offer perspectives ranging from individual machine emissions to company-wide data, categorized by technique or time frame."

Ponsse encourages stakeholders to explore the capabilities of the PONSSE Manager Pro system. They currently offer a free three-month trial, allowing users to experience firsthand the advantages of this innovative solution.

Ponsse's commitment to pioneering technological advancements not only boosts operational efficiency in the logging industry but also reinforces the transition toward more sustainable practices, ultimately playing a key role in environmental stewardship within forest management.
