Wood procurementHarvester control
PONSSE harvesters use the new Opti5 computer and Opti4G information system, the most advanced technology on the forest machine market. Opti4G is the operator’s user interface to the OptiControl management system. It handles all of the operations required for cutting from data transfer to marking for bucking and reporting.
The harvester’s Opti system is composed of intelligent, easy-to-use programs for managing and calibrating marking for bucking files, and reporting, data transfer and work management tools for machine alignments and harvesting. The systems also produces other harvesting information, e.g. on the time used, output, machine operation and fuel consumption.
The Opti4G is fully compatible with all standardized harvesting control systems. The system is based on an ordinary Windows operating system and personal computer, which makes it easy to install data transfer and map applications to the harvester.
Time and efficiency tracking is a standard feature in PONSSE harvesters and forwarders with personal computers. The system collects information on time distribution, production, machine operation and fuel consumption.
The operator logs onto the system at the beginning of the work shift. As the work progresses, the program automatically collects information, asking the reasons for breaks separately, where
desired. The operator can view all the reports on the display.
The program produces DRF report files read using the OptiReport program in the machine and the office.
OptiPlan Viewer - Receiving and viewing of harvesting instructions
The OptiPlan Viewer for viewing harvesting instructions has a clear, easy-to-use design. With the program, the operator can receive new harvesting instructions quickly, and it also contains a direct link to the OptiComm data transfer program. OptiPlan Viewer provides the operator with all of the data that he/she needs before starting the cutting work. Stand identification data are linked to the Opti5 information system directly to the point where the harvesting area starts, which facilitates the starting of stand cutting and ensures the correctness of the identification data when reporting cutting output data. Where necessary, the program will send a confirmation message to the sender of the harvesting instructions, which ensures fluent communications in both directions.
OptiGis Harvester - Monitoring of stand maps and forest machine positioning
With the OptiGis Harvester program and GPS positioning equipment, the operator can view the location of the machine on the map. The OptiGis
Harvester reads stand maps drawn using the OptiGis Office program and warns the operator when the machine is approaching the stand border, a power or telephone line or a protected nature area.
The program also saves the route of the machine onto the map, which can be sent to the forwarder, for example, for the planning of nearby transport. The map software reads raster maps, such as basic maps, and vector-form background maps, such as road network and boundary materials.
