Description

Following a visit to the company’s facilities, many solutions were identified for monitoring wood packages.

Our team analyzed and ran tests on loader position tracking in lumber yards.

Initially, the use of vibration sensors was evaluated.

The CGQ then provided appropriate sensors and verified their performance.

PMP Solutions Inc. offered the test environment, i.e., the use of a sawmill, where our team was able to acquire positioning data for the network design and to perform tests as to evaluate the identification algorithms and tracking wooden packages.
