DigiTransport: FPInnovations’ digital solution
Despite the advent of telemetry in trucks, the majority of data acquired remains under-exploited due to the complexity of analysis and the lack of specialized labour.
DigiTransport offers a solution to those operational challenges.
Thanks to DigiTransport, FPInnovations builds on its industrial expertise to offer a solution to operational challenges. The deployment of algorithms enables rapid detection of anomalies, considerably reducing intervention times. These innovations improve the efficiency of transport operations, leading to significant cost reductions.
The DigiTransport solution works with existing telematics data. The result is an array of advanced analyses for continuous optimization of trucking operations.
The required investment in specialized labour and technical support too often limits the use of the abundant telematics data available. The DigiTransport application lets you make the most of this important information by combining it with FPInnovations’ industrial expertise!
Four performance indicators
The main performance indicators FPInnovations focuses on are :
1. reducing cycle time (wood flow),
2. maximizing productivity,
3. improving energy efficiency
4. lowering operating costs.
Concrete examples
Data analysis delivers concrete results. For example, telemetry and advanced analysis on one truck identified parasitic weight peaks and sharp drops in net weight, i.e. payload. The estimated loss was $2,400 per shipment (at $30/tonne).
Fuel consumption monitoring is another important element of performance analysis. FPInnovations tools enable anomalies and extreme cases to be contextualized. Credible statistical limits and thresholds for reporting anomalies are thus established using this scientifically measured and analyzed data. The justification for intervention is thus documented and, above all, faster!
OUR APPROACH
FPInnovations’ expertise lies in adapting existing equipment and systems, developing algorithms, and providing support to achieve digital transformation objectives.
FPInnovations insists on using your existing platforms, guaranteeing data quality and security from the moment it is acquired. Our experts ensure that your teams use forestry equipment to its full potential.
Equipment optimization and data valorization
Numerical operations require robust, validated calculation tools. FPInnovations develops and tests algorithms to detect anomalies and accelerate decision-making, enabling rapid remote recommendations.
Development of algorithms (analysis tool)
This approach provides foresters with the tools to rapidly classify and process data, enabling a better prioritization of interventions and strategic decision-making based on accurate data analysis.
DIgital transformation
As part of MEIE’s Offensive de transformation numérique (OTN) for digital transformation, FPInnovations has been mandated to support forestry contractors towards modern connectivity solutions with a comprehensive field support service
