The Future Forests Research Limited (FFR) Harvesting programme has now released the HARVESTNAV on-board navigation app and has made it available to the whole industry free of charge. HARVESTNAV is a software application designed to enable harvesting machine operators to track their position in the block on a graphical harvest plan displayed on a computer tablet mounted in their machine.
Comments gained from harvesting machine operators during FFR field trials of HARVESTNAV have given clear evidence that this application will improve both safety and productivity. For this reason the FFR Harvesting members decided to make the current version of HARVESTNAV freely available to the whole industry.
HARVESTNAV can be downloaded free from www.interpine.co.nz.
