Forsite has purchased Object Raku Technology, further solidifying Forsite's commitment to providing cutting-edge forest inventory products, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
Object Raku has led the development of the Timber Species Identifier (TSI), a system of automated software components which analyze LiDAR data to determine the location and species of individual trees, as well as the Block Design Tool (BDT). The BDT is built on the ESRI ArcGIS engine and allows the forester to outline proposed harvest areas and determine potential profitability based on harvest cost and revenue parameters.
These technologies are changing the way business is done in the forestry sector. The integration of Object Raku partners Mike Parlow and Trevor Hooper and their staff as well as their processes and intellectual property, will elevate Forsite's ability to innovate and create world leading forest inventory products.
Object Raku Technology is a software development and analytics firm specializing in complex geospatial architectures and 3D spatial analysis.
Forsite is an integrated forest management company.
