State of the Smart Building Startup Landscape 2024!
Slope KESLA task 1.2
1. Task 1.2 Hardware and equipment definition
The existing and possible new technical solutions are so many that we
have to work from the end user upwards. This is the reason why the
complete definition of T.1.2. Hardware and equipment definition
(KESLA) is mainly based on the results of WP1- T.1.1.: Users and
System requirements (ITENE). Questionnaire directed to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Forest owners
Harvesting contractors
Transport companies
Mill companies
Biomass processing companies
Others…

3. Task 1.2Hardware and equipment definition
…and system analysis:
The integration of all information described above will allow for the analysis.
The integration of all data in one single system is the key to analyse and provide with
valuable information along the procurement chain. The combination on the described
data will provide more information and that information we will have to decide how and
which
information
is
transferred
(Bluetooth,
wireless,
by
colour
marking, print, USB, other…) MHG expertise is very important here. Systems to be
combined:

6. Task 1.2Hardware and equipment definition
Scenario A:
Norway Spruce with a normal diameter distribution where 85% of the trees have a
diameter under 55CM
Upper limit 670mm diameter.
For that Scenario the possible combinations Kesla Harvester Head + Base machine are:
A.1. Kesla 25RHS-II + Excavator
A.2 Kesla 25RH-II + Rubber wheel machine
