How Hexagon creates value for forestry industry
Unleash data to protect, manage, cultivate and harvest forests
Addressing global forestry challenges
Forests are one of the most essential natural resources — and taking care of them benefits both humans and the environment. The industry faces a broad range of challenges, including:
- Stabilising wood supply
- Protecting wildlife habitat and biodiversity
- Managing water quality and watershed
- Monitoring illegal deforestation
- Controlling erosion
- Preserving carbon dioxide absorption
Forestry professionals must develop, maintain and implement modern and data-driven solutions that help forests thrive while providing a sustainable supply as the global demand for wood products rises.
Increase production & protect the environment
Hexagon is committed to helping the industry streamline operations, reduce waste, maintain profitability and minimise machine downtime while adhering to the current best practices of sustainability and environmental protection.
We believe that economic productivity and environmental protection go hand-in-hand. Our end-to-end positioning, mapping and data solutions enable forestry professionals to efficiently manage healthy forests, from cultivating sustainable growth to maximising yield.
Hexagon provides a variety of digital solutions for the forestry industry including machine control equipment and fleet management software, web-based geospatial dashboards for forest and wildlife management, reality capture sensors and aerial data resources.
These technologies can support forestry stakeholders in fundamentally transforming their operations and turn their data into digital information hubs.
