Case Study

Forestry Value Chain Automation
​

Scope of work

Build a strategy and implementation plan to leverage digital technologies across the Forestry Value Chain​.​

Automation and digital technology present a large opportunity for safety and productivity improvements within the forestry sector. Imvelo was engaged by a large forestry company to design and lead the implementation of a ten-year technology roadmap. Embarking on multiple site visits allowed the team to gauge an understanding of the client’s current value chain and develop a strategic plan that delivered quick wins and long-term automation projects. 

The project approach had six key facets:​

  1.    Road mapping with progressively automated sub-systems​
  2.   Development of a systems integration capability​
  3.   Partnership creation to increase speed and build internal capability​
  4.   Stakeholder engagement​
  5.   Identification of proving grounds to design and test the future concept of operation​
  6.   Evolution of future investments by building a differentiated operating capability ​
