The purpose with the project is to develop a fully automatic system for measuring woodpile volume on trucks obtaining better or equal results compared to today’s manual measuring. The result shall include volume measures of solid wood, under/on bark in a percentage of the total pile volume.
Options like measuring rot, log length, divided piles and type of wood are of interest in future systems.
During the spring of 2011 Mabema AB together with Holmen Paper AB and VMU agreed on a continuation of the project against a fully industrialized and commercialized measuring rig (P4) placed at Holmens Paper and sawmill at Braviken outside Norrköping in Sweden. The rig is now completed and since September Mabema together with VMF has conducted different types of test aiming at a general type approval during the winter.
Today, at the time of writing (end of January) the rig is to be seen as almost equal to a final commercial rig with a fully developed measuring system, weatherproof building with automatic quick opening /closing doors but lacking the final registration for drivers, security systems, SDC/VMF interface, reporting system and other practical details.
The P4 or Mabema GPV which is the right product name is planned to be certified during early spring 2012 followed by a Holmen take over before summer of the same year.
