The Entrepreneurial Expertise Center in pavilion 33 had a strong focus on IT solutions designed to optimize linkages in the timber supply chain.
For instance, there was NavLog, which provides enhanced forest track navigation data, the ELDATdata exchange format, and the QS-Harvester quality assurance system for log harvesters. The special forestry displays in pavilions 33 (Expertise Center) and 34 (Hot Innovations) were organized by the German Forestry Council (KWF) and Deutsche Messe, who have been forestry-sector partners since 2008.
The floor of the NavLog stand in Pavilion 33 was an oversized aerial photograph overlaid with standardized data on classified forest tracks. The display - the firstever demonstration of NavLog's online database in live mode - was very well received, with many visitors taking up the offer to test NavLog's data via a trial membership.
Nearby, there was a Valmet harvester simulator, where visitors could fell a test log, digitally measure it, and feed the data into the simulator unit.
In Pavilion 34, the German Forestry Council (KWF) demonstrated ideas for developing new business areas and growing and optimizing existing ones. These included bioenergy solutions, alternative drive technologies and solutions for reducing harvester tire damage to forest floors.
The KWF's offering was very popular with the upcoming generation of forestry professionals, with around ten groups of school and tertiary students turning to the KWF for careers information on every day of the fair. The premiere of the "Careers in the Forestry & Wood Industries" was an instant success.
Among the big crowd-pleasers was the live demonstration of the KWF testing system for combined log sawing and splitting machines. This involved recently KWF-certified manufacturers putting their machines through their paces in front of Pavilion 33. The KWF had planned to run only four demonstrations per day, but had to switch to a continuous demonstration format in response to visitor demand. For the KFW, this is clear evidence of continued strong interest in bioenergy.
