Project SLOPE1

WP 3 – Integration of novel intelligent harvesting systems operating in mountain

areas (hardware development)

Project SLOPE

Greifenberg Presentation

CORK, JANUARY 2016

Foreword

Wp 3 is focused on the set up of machines and tools required to create anintelligent interaction from rfid tag reader to black box back up withinnovative machinery covering the complete supply chain in harvestingoperations on steep terrains. The aim is to improve forestry workers safety,productivity together with terrain sustainability.

Foreword

Technical innovation required will be implemented in machines which willbe ready to function to perform real forestry operations on difficult areas.

Foreword

The critical part of the wp 3 is to be able to manage interaction amongdifferent machines and components keeping functionality also with relevantchanges carried out on the machines.

We do believe that we will be able to successfully manage the wp with themost suitable components able to collect and transmit perfect data alongthe supply chain

Mitigating action undertaken

New partner in the project for the processor head part.

Dow amendmentTask 3.2 changed with the purchase of a new processorhead and the analysis required

Start of wp 3 in month 6 affected by amendment andmitigating action as reported previously

Suitable components choice and their availability

We will implement information with the other partners tohave the suitable components (antenna, reader andinterface pc and its programming) to proceed with thedeliverable to be submitted in month 26.

What we will be doing to finalisedeliverable 3.3

Let's see what we have been doing sincelast January

Time plan

Task 3.3 parts

Tecno carriageChockersRope launcher

Tecno carriage work status

The carriage is ready. We still need toimplement the interface pc with itssoftware, the modification on existingsoftware with laboratory test to verifyinteraction.

A mechanical part is being installed nowfor the antenna. It will be a movable partto be lifted upward and downward toprotect the component from the logsWe have planned testing activities withGraphitech and CNR at the end ofJanuary, beginning of February.

Chockers work statusChokers are ready. The mechanical part is ready. We still need to manageinteraction between them and the new software

Testing activities will be carried out also between Tecno carriage and theChockers

Synthetic rope launcher EASER status

The prototype is ready. We have carried out testing activities up to 500mt. We met difficulties due to the unwrapping of the textile rope. Wehave newly re-designed the system and currently we are working ontesting activities with a new component tailored to our needsThe new project will consider the launch of the rope without the needon unwrapping from the winches.

Synthetic rope launcher EASER status

Wp3 needs testing in machines andcomponent interactions. We will proceedwith the interface activities between thecarriage and the processor head first inlaboratory and then on field

Task 3.6: data management backupObjectives

The goals of this task are:• to develop system for data exchange between hardware in field and central computer of FIS• to provide a data backup strategy

Cork19/jan/2016

Task 3.6: data management backup

Task Leader: CNR

Task Partecipants: Compolab, Greifenberg, Graphitech, Itene, (Treemetrics)

March 2015 to February 2016

Status: 50%

D.3.07 Black‐box for backup and data transmissionPrototype: portable and internal powered black box for daily/weekly data back up and for data transmission in areas without GPRS coverage (M.25)

Cork19/jan/2016

the “black box” solution is a portable storage (SSHD or similar)

the external storage will be connected with USB to the industrial PC hosted by the excavator

it is used for storing critical data (backup)

the dedicated GPRS module (USB) is installed in industrial PC and is used for communication with the central server in a case of the network coverage

the portable storage is transferred to the office / operator house and after connecting to internet, automatically synchronizing data with the database in a case of no network coverage in forest
