MultiDAT and Opti-Grade: two knowledge-based electronic solutions for managing forestry operations more efficiently

“You can’t manage what you don’t measure”. Based on a full understanding of this fact, two novel systems (MultiDAT and Opti-Grade) were recently developed by FERIC to provide integrated solutions for the monitoring of forestry operations activities and the management of road maintenance activities. MultiDAT lets forest operators maximize their machines’ uptime by recording and reporting machine activity and productive time. Opti-Grade monitors road roughness and provides work schedules for optimal road grading. Both systems are distributed by FERIC.
