Ponsse´s new solutions to improve productivity and profitability in forestry

Ponsse is presenting new features to support forest machine operators’ daily work and to assist forestry entrepreneurs to follow up on the fleet’s profitability and productivity

The PONSSE Scale crane system manages load data during all working stages, and the PONSSE High-Precision Positioning solution, which helps the machine operator know the exact location of the machine and the harvester head.

We are also presenting a fossil-free material concept load space. Ponsse is the first forest machine manufacturer in the world to show a part of forest machine made of SSAB fossil-free steel.

We aim for a fossil-free future

We have manufactured at Vieremä factory a PONSSE Buffalo forwarder´s load space of SSAB fossil free steel. This is a material concept to invest in the workability, behaviour and characteristics of the new material used in forest machine manufacturing. The load space is designed only for material testing and does not correspond to production models. The material concept is part of the FORWARD27 ecosystem project.

 

PONSSE Scale

PONSSE Scale is a crane scale system that weighs, sorts, saves and manages load data during all working stages. The collected weighing data makes load handling routines easier. Precise weight measurements ensure an optimal load at all times. It features full weighing automation during both loading and unloading, with detailed load registration. Whether loads are grabbed in the middle or off-centre does not affect the weight result. Load details, load logbooks and measuring accuracy data are available in easy-to-read reports. PONSSE Scale has excellent weather resistance, with accurate results in both hot summer temperatures and winter’s sub-zero temperatures.

PONSSE Scale can be installed in all PONSSE forwarder loader models.

 

PONSSE High-Precision Positioning

PONSSE High-Precision Positioning is a solution that helps the machine operator know the exact location of the machine and the harvester head. This enables the effectiveness of logging operations to be maintained, even in changing conditions.

Utilising industry-leading navigation and location tools, as well as Ponsse’s own advanced technologies such as Active Crane, High-Precision Positioning can raise the reliability bar to a level conventional positioning systems often don’t reach.

By defining the exact location of the harvester head and presenting it on a map view, High-Precision Positioning can significantly improve harvesting productivity. The solution clearly shows where the operator should harvest and the areas that should be avoided. Every stump location is saved in the production file, and the driving path the harvester creates is clearly visible to the forwarder.

The new solutions will improve your operations’ productivity and safety. They will also ensure that the site is most reliably and responsibly completed on time and on budget.

High-Precision Positioning is available in Finland, Sweden and Germany for all PONSSE harvesters equipped with Active Crane, and it can also be retrofitted. Availability for other markets will be specified later.

 

On Friday 14 June, Ponsse celebrated its long journey in Sweden at the Surahammar service centre together with the customers

“The commitment of our staff and our comprehensive service network has been developed over the years to respond to customer needs. Ponsse AB was established in Sweden in 1994, when there were few Ponsse forest machines in the country.

In three decades, we have slowly but surely built and strengthened the Ponsse brand here. We have developed our service network to offer the best customer experience every day. Of course, we are also developing our excellent products to meet customer needs.

Today, we service our approximately thousand-strong forest machine fleet with 8 Ponsse service centres and 17 service dealers across Sweden, says Carl-Henrik Hammar, Managing Director, Ponsse Sweden.

Nokian Tyres is setting new standards in CTL segment with new size for Forest King F2

Nokian Tyres is launching a significant development for the forestry industry.

The new tire size for Forest King F2 tire family meets the increasing demands of Cut to Length (CTL) forestry machines, particularly the larger, more powerful forwarders and harvesters now being deployed in the industry.

Nokian Tyres Forest King F2 is a tire designed for harvesters and forwarders used in the forestry industry. Featuring a protective tread design with strong shoulders, it provides excellent functionality on tracks and chains, with a strong diagonal structure and steel fortification ensuring excellent puncture protection.

The introduction of the new 30.5” tire size is an important advancement for the forestry industry. As the demand for more productive equipment grows, Nokian Tyres is at the forefront of innovation, providing solutions that meet the evolving needs of the market.

“In forestry, productivity is crucial. Demand for more productive equipment is pushing machine manufacturers to develop forwarders capable of transporting more wood with fewer driving cycles,” says Teemu Vainionpää, Product Manager at Nokian Heavy Tyres. “The new 30.5” size for our Forest King F2 tire family is a direct response to this demand, offering increased load capacity and improved performance to meet the needs of the latest generation of forwarders.”

An all-new complete wheel delivers a step up in performance

The larger air volume of the new Forest King F2 tire size enables a step forward in load capacity, while the increased wheel diameter improves tire-wheel contact area, resulting in increased tolerance against rim slip. The design of the tire, with its strong shoulders and protective tread, ensures excellent performance with tracks in terms of grip and support to track paws.

To fully utilize the performance upgrade available with the new tire, Nokian Tyres makes it available as a complete wheel with a matching heavy-duty wheel (size AG26.00×30.5”) and inner tube (size 780/55-30.5”). Working as a perfect match, the complete wheel complements the tire properties for the best possible forestry performance.

Nokian Tyres remains committed to pushing the boundaries in the CTL segment, providing innovative solutions that enhance productivity and efficiency in the forestry industry.

Availability

The new 30.5” size for the Nokian Tyres Forest King F2 tire is available now, allowing forestry professionals to immediately benefit from its enhanced performance and capabilities. Visit our website at www.nokiantyres.com/heavy for more information and to locate a dealer near you.

BASF, Vipergen in collaboration for sustainable crop protection products

BASF is partnering with Vipergen, a global leader in research services, to apply their technology to discover new active ingredients for sustainable crop protection products more efficiently and quickly.

For the first time in the agricultural sector, the research collaboration uses a technology from Vipergen that has already been applied successfully in the search for pharmaceutical active ingredients.

This new technology allows for the testing of novel chemical compounds on target proteins in living cells.

Tests in cells lead to more accurate results compared to conventional methods, which use target proteins previously isolated from cells and purified in an elaborate process.

Testing can be performed on several million compounds, looking at their uses in crop protection as well as their environmental impact, all in a single experiment and in considerably shorter time.

Promising compounds can be easily identified through a specific DNA coding. This targeted research approach can greatly accelerate the identification of new active ingredients.

“The collaboration with Vipergen will complement our set of tools aimed at developing novel, world-class, sustainable crop protection solutions for a connected offer that will benefit farmers, consumers and the environment,” said Juergen Huff, Senior Vice President, Research and Development Crop Protection at BASF Agricultural Solutions.

“Through Vipergen’s powerful technology, we aim to identify active ingredients for new crop protection products more efficiently.

This helps to accelerate the development of new solutions that increase agricultural productivity and reduce environmental impacts.”

“We are excited to partner with BASF to drive innovation for sustainable agriculture,” said Nils Hansen, Chief Executive Officer of Vipergen.

“Applying our Cellular Binder Trap Enrichment® technology to screen DNA-encoded libraries in living cells will quickly provide high-quality hits that BASF can use to develop new sustainable crop protection products.”

BASF retains exclusive rights to globally commercialize all products resulting from the collaboration. Financial details of the partnership were not disclosed.

Inside VIV Africa 2024: Exclusive Interview with the show’s Project Manager

With VIV Africa 2024 a few months away, the anticipation and excitement within the animal protein industry are becoming more and more visible.

VIV Africa, an evolution from the previously known Poultry Africa, now includes dairy and agriculture pavilions, making it a comprehensive event that caters to the diverse needs of the industry.

Set to take place on October 2-3, 2024, in Kigali, Rwanda, with a Leadership Conference on October 1st, this event promises to be a landmark gathering for professionals from around the globe.

With the event’s exhibitor space already sold out and visitor pre-registration now open, we sat down with the VIV Africa Project Manager, Ms. Natalie Taylor, to discuss the event’s significance, the expanded scope, and what attendees can expect from this year’s edition.

Q: Can you tell us a bit about the evolution of Poultry Africa to VIV Africa in 2024 and what attendees can expect from this year’s event?

NT: VIV Africa 2024 marks an exciting milestone from what was previously known as Poultry Africa. By expanding our scope to include dairy and agriculture, we are addressing the broader needs of the animal protein industry and welcoming those that are more into CEA and arable farming as well. Attendees can expect a more comprehensive event with a wider range of exhibitors, more diverse content, and new opportunities for networking and learning. This year’s event will feature not only the latest advancements in poultry but also innovations in dairy and agricultural sectors, providing a holistic view of the industry.

Q: This year’s exhibiting space is already completely sold out. What do you think contributed to this overwhelming response?

NT: Africa is a new market to many of the exhibitors, and they see the growth potential. The aim has been to ease their entry into the market and connect them with the industry leaders and clients across the region. I think with the proven track-record of the previous editions, alongside the expansion of the show with dairy and agriculture, exhibitors benefit from the VIV quality, network and marketing. These combined have been the main contributing factors to the overwhelming response.

Q: VIV Africa 2024 will feature a Leadership Conference the day before the main event. What are some of the key topics and issues that will be addressed during this conference?

NT: As with previous editions, the program is being developed with our local and international stakeholders who are committed to selecting top topics to provide the tools and knowledge to address current business challenges farmers face in Africa. Once again the main focus will be on poultry — and next to that we will introduce specific Agriculture and Dairy content to the program. Break-out sessions will ensure that there is always a session on each sector. More will of course come, as we get closer to the show, so it is important to keep an eye on our newsletters and updates on the vivafrica.nl website.

Q: How do you see the animal protein industry evolving in Africa over the next few years, and what role does VIV Africa play in this development?

NT: The animal protein industry in Africa is forecasted to witness significant growth, driven by increasing demand for quality protein sources. VIV Africa plays a crucial role by providing a platform for knowledge exchange, innovation, and industry networking. By bringing together key stakeholders and industry leaders, VIV Africa facilitates the adoption of best practices and the introduction of new technologies, which are essential for a sustainable development.

Q: With visitor pre-registration now open, what advice do you have for attendees to get the most out of their experience at VIV Africa 2024?

NT: Planning your visit in advance will help you make the most of the two-day event and ensure you don’t miss any key sessions or networking opportunities. Therefore, pre-registering now online, although it might seem early for some, will take you a couple of minutes, but will save you a lot of time onsite. Not to mention that once registered you will be included early enough in all communication around the event so you will not miss anything coming up.
Be sure to reserve a ticket for the Leadership Conference, as there are limited tickets available. On our website, you can view the exhibitor list and technical seminars to plan your 2-day experience.

Q: How can interested stakeholders, who were unable to secure exhibitor slots, still participate or engage with VIV Africa 2024?

NT: Even if you couldn’t secure an exhibitor slot, we encourage you to visit the show in Kigali. It’s an excellent opportunity to network, attend workshops, and gain insights from the industry’s best. Your presence will still be highly valuable, and our team will do its best to facilitate ways to engage with other professionals and industry leaders.

Q: Are there any special sessions, or events within VIV Africa 2024 that you are particularly excited about?

NT: There are many sessions and special events during VIV Africa 2024, so it’s hard to choose just one! Special for exhibitors, we will host a special networking cocktail with local talent on the first night of the event to connect exhibitors directly with industry leaders and peers. There are also many technical best practices for visitors to attend during the 2-day exhibition, and of course with the addition of the new pavilions, our partners will be hosting in-depth workshops for visitors to attend. Visitors can definitely look forward to a memorable business experience.

Q: Finally, what message would you like to convey to the global animal protein industry as VIV Africa 2024 approaches?

NT: As VIV Africa 2024 approaches, I’d like to emphasize the incredible opportunities that Africa presents for the agrifood industry.

This event is not just about showcasing products but also about building connections, sharing knowledge, and enabling innovation. We are excited to welcome you to Kigali, where together, we can contribute to the sustainable growth and development of the industry in Africa and beyond.
