Timber measurement

Measure timber with your camera — fast, precise & digital.

Measure sawlog, industrial and energy wood in real time, straight from your phone or tablet — offline in the forest, with no extra tools. AI-assisted measurement delivers accurate volume and diameter figures.

Forstify Measurement & photo analysis

Count and measure sawlogs with your camera

Forstify Measurement counts logs and derives mid-diameters straight from the camera image — root flares are detected and deducted automatically by AI. Photo analysis captures log count and pile width from a single photo. Both methods are continuously calibrated against certified mill intake measurements.

  • Log count & mid-diameters from the live image
  • AI correction of root flares and clamp logs
  • Digital tape measure for pile width and log length
  • Calibrated against certified mill intake measurement

Forstify Measurement & photo analysis

Count and measure thousands of logs in seconds.

Sectional volume (AR)

Capture log piles in minutes with augmented reality

Capture the RVR sectional volume fully digitally with augmented reality — no marker sprays, tape measures, measuring poles or a second pair of hands. Move your phone across the pile, mark the lower pile edge and adjust the section heights; the solid cubic metres are calculated automatically.

  • Move the phone until the AR points appear
  • Mark and confirm the lower pile edge
  • Drag the section heights — solid m³ update live
  • Piles 2–150 m wide, up to 8 m high
  • No reference marks needed, fully offline in the forest

Forstify measuring tape

Digital tape measure — lengths and widths on the spot

The digital tape measure gauges pile width, log length and distances to the centimetre with your camera — with no physical tape and no painted reference marks. The measurements feed straight into your record.

  • Gauge pile width and log length with the camera
  • Centimetre-accurate, no reference marks
  • Measurements fed straight into the record
  • Works offline out in the field
