With fovea, you can measure round timber quickly and accurately right there in the forest. This saves you time, reduces the effort involved and helps you avoid mistakes.
Do you still calculate the cross-sectional dimensions and quantity of a stack manually?
If so, you’ll be well aware of the effort involved and know just how time-consuming, labour-intensive and error-prone this process is. Data is noted down and then re-entered later. This process can be simplified with fovea.
With fovea, you can record the timber stack directly on site using your smartphone. Simply take a photo of the stack, enter its width, and all the measurement data is immediately available to you in digital form. Volume, number of pieces, images and location are automatically documented.
This makes your timber inventory process noticeably simpler. You save time and ensure clarity for all subsequent steps, from the forest to the office.
Measure Polter quickly and accurately using your smartphone camera.
Work with reliable measurement data that shows only very slight deviations from the factory-specified dimensions.
Record and calculate timber stacks reliably in the forest, even without an internet connection.
Record every measurement automatically and in full, including volume, quantity, images and location data.
In fovea’s integrated forest management system, photo-optical surveying, individual tree surveys and section measurements are managed within a single database.
Import your measurement data directly into palos or export it for use in other systems.
You can measure the pile directly on site using your smartphone – using photo-optical technology and with great precision. Volume calculation works even without an internet connection.
fovea calculates volume, quantity and other measurements directly within the app. The photo-optical measurement method delivers a very high level of accuracy, with only minimal deviations from the factory-specified dimensions.
Each measurement is saved along with images and GPS coordinates. This ensures that measurements remain traceable and can be verified at any time.
All timber data is consolidated within the forest management system. This ensures transparency in timber inventory, reduces administrative workload and enables direct processing right through to invoicing and price calculation.
The data collected can be exported and imported into existing systems, such as the palos platform.
In practice, photo-optical measurement using fovea often shows deviations of less than 3 per cent from the factory-acceptance dimensions. Many customers therefore also use fovea as a control measure to verify invoicing and quality checks.
fovea is designed for the photo-optical measurement of short timber. Long timber and individual logs cannot currently be measured using photo-optical methods. However, they can still be digitally recorded, calculated and managed.
fovea complements and simplifies existing measurement methods. Traditional methods such as cross-sectional measurement or individual log surveying remain relevant and can be digitally documented using fovea. You retain full professional control and decision-making authority at all times.
Yes. Measurements and calculations are carried out entirely offline within the app. An internet connection is only required to synchronise the recorded data at a later stage.
No. fovea has been developed for use in the forest. The app is intuitive and easy to learn. No major technical changes are required.
fovea runs on standard smartphones with the latest version of iOS or Android. No additional hardware is required.
You can easily do this yourself. All you need to do is go to ‘Settings’ (top right of the home screen) > ‘Account settings’ > ‘Account’ > ‘Delete account’ and confirm.
