Project SLOPE

T.8.3 – Contribution to Standardisation

Gianni PicchiCNR-IVALSA


T 8.3 – Contribution to Standardization

Project SLOPE proposes process innovations in several fields:

- Forest data management (local standards)

- Forest inventory (local standards)

- Cable yarder installation and use (presently just for cable tensioning)

- Timber data – quantity – (presently StanForD)

- Timber data – quality – (presently CEN/ENV 1927-1 for P. abies logs)

- Online trade

In order to facilitate market acceptance, Standards should be adopted or modified including the new system

Review Meeting, Bruxelles 01.02.2017


T 8.3 – Strategy

Actions were concentrated on the most critical/relevan part:

- Forest data management (local standards)

- Forest inventory (local standards)

- Cable yarder installation and use (presently just for cable tensioning)

- Timber data – quantity – (presently StanForD)

- Timber data – quality – (presently CEN/ENV 1927-1 for P. abies logs)

- Online trade

In order to facilitate market acceptance, Standards should be adopted or modified including the new system



T 8.3 – Actions

- Timber data in SLOPE reports quantity/quality- StanForD- CEN/ENV 1927-1 for P. abies logs


Quantity standard can be mantained or adapted, quality is the main target to be addressed.

Contacts with the relevant TC were attempted or established.

T.8.4 – Industrial Advisory Board

Huurinainen Seppo, MHG Systems Oy

Final Conference1/Feb/17


Overview

• Status: Completed (100%)• Length: 9 Months (From M1 to M25)• Involved Partners

• Leader: MHG• Participants: Compolab, COAST, BOKU, FLY, TRE, CNR

• Aim: Set up an advisory board in order to follow all project activities

• Output: D8.04, Presenting Industrial Advisory



Task 8.4 - Objective

• The main objective of this task is to involve industrial members from the forestry, agricultural and related logistics and machinery industry. The main activities of the advisory board will be interchange opinions and knowledge by means of meetings and discussions. This information will be used as inputs for the execution of the tasks defined in SLOPE project, and redefine them when needed.

• Advising Business model development
