The future of processing - design technology and automation

摘要

From forestry onwards safety, improving productivity and getting workers out of the 'danger zone' has been a major push for international forestry managers, forest owners, logging contractors and equipment suppliers, to modify their wood harvesting and processing operations over the past few years. Another major driver to increased mechanisation internationally has been the skilled machine operator shortages that many forestry companies are now currently facing. The ultimate goal of the world industry is to have 'no worker on the slope, or no hand on the chainsaw'.
