Land management, surveying, and sustainable growth practices are major priorities for governments in countries with significant forest ecosystems. In these areas, a large portion of the territory is covered in woodland, making forestry/logging a large industrial sector and timber/wood a main export. Given the importance, governments need to map out the land, know the best geographic areas for healthy cutting, keep detailed records of tree species, and ultimately make informed decisions when it comes to forest management.
With standard tablets, the GPS signaling is inaccurate and unstable. There is a signal drift of around 20-30 meters, especially since they operate in dense forests where trees cause a lot of interference to signaling. Because of this, there is a risk that surveying is done inefficiently or incorrectly— that up-to-date information gathered from the field is not communicated thoroughly or done in real time. This can cause inefficiencies in forestry work and incur additional costs in time and manpower.
Getac’s rugged tablet was tailor-made with a high-accuracy dual-band GPS (sub-meter level) for survey and mapping. This allowed for natural resource management down to the exact tree, which meant being able to determine which forest blocks were already surveyed with utmost precision. Better search capacity, faster location positioning, and improved accuracy are just a few features of a more robust dedicated GPS. When it comes to industry-specific tasks like field service for site selection, pruning trees, or timber cruising, the GPS serves many key purposes. It can direct teams in real time to specific locations, determine where field workers have already been, and map where they need to go next. In particularly dense woodland areas where LTE connectivity is inadequate, it’s key that the GPS functionality remains operational.
Better GPS positioning capabilities can bring forest management efforts to the next level. From GIS mapping and surveying to coordinating crews and fleets in the field, areas where forestry is a key industry can benefit from the efficiency and accuracy of dedicated GPS solutions. Even when faced with remote areas or nature’s unpredictability, Getac solutions reduce wasted time or delayed results.
