Smart Forestry is a joint project of the partners RWTH Aachen University (consortium leader), Hohenloher Spezial-Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG (HSM), Bayerische Staatsforsten AöR (BaySF), iFOS GmbH, ANDREAS STIHL AG & Co. KG, UPM Biochemicals GmbH, Kuratorium für Waldarbeit und Forsttechnik (KWF) e.V. and Landesbetrieb Wald und Holz NRW (Forstliches Bildungszentrum).

The aim of the Smart Forestry joint project is to develop cross-cluster approaches based on Forestry 4.0 concepts for intelligent, fully integrated timber harvesting. Based on digital twins, the Smart Forestry concept networks all stakeholders along the wood supply chain for the first time - from felling planning to delivery to the customer. Using situation-specific, freely configurable value creation networks, it enables all stakeholders to communicate "at eye level", control, evaluate and optimize the timber harvesting process and integrate it into upstream and downstream process stages.

The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) via its project management agency Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe (FNR) e.V. (funding code 2220NR254 A-H). The duration of this 3-year project is from 10/2021 to 09/2024.

This GitLab repository operates as a storage for the project's (intermediary) results.

Overview

This repository includes various use cases that make use of the ForestML 4.0 (fml40) reference implementation. The following use cases are showcased:

  • BaySF: Planning, commissioning and control (to be published)
  • HSM: Highly mechanized timber harvesting (to be published)
  • STIHL: Motorized manual timber harvesting (to be published)
  • UPM: Wood delivery to a mill, passing through the mill's gate.

This repository includes:

  • DigitalTwinTemplates: Templates for the digital twins involved in each use case (UML diagrams).
  • MessageTemplates: JSON schemas of the S3I-B messages exchanged between the digital twins.
  • ProcessDiagrams: Sequence diagrams depicting the process of each use case.
  • Usecases: Python scripts that create and run the digital twins.

The UML diagrams are created using PlantUML (.puml or .plantuml). You can view these files using GitLab's inbuilt viewer or the provided PDF files.
