Stand-level averages hide stem-level value
Not another rough forest estimate — a tree-level value layer.
Nordic Forest Intelligence
Turn standing forests into machine-verifiable timber value.
Tree-level AI infrastructure for pre-harvest timber value.
MetsäTech is building automated and robotic tree-level assessment for standing forests: every tree measured, quality-scored, mapped to assortments, valued, and prepared for its highest-value use before harvesting begins.
We move timber intelligence upstream — from mill-side measurement and stand-level estimates to the standing tree itself. The result is a verified digital record of what the forest actually contains and how each stem should be cut, routed, or separated before value is lost.

The value is lost before it is measured
Commercial value is still decided too late in the chain.
Existing forest plans, timber cruises, open data, and manual inventories usually do not create a repeatable, machine-verifiable commercial record for every standing tree. They may estimate volume, but they do not consistently deliver the precision, quality signals, and operator-ready decisions needed to maximize value before harvesting begins.
Defects and curvature change optimal cuts
Measure before harvest. Decide before value is lost.
Premium stems disappear into commodity channels
Premium stems should not disappear into commodity flow.
From forest scan to commercial decision object
From scan to commercial decision object
Every standing tree becomes a commercial decision object. Automated and robotic pre-harvest assessment turns each tree into coordinates, geometry, quality signals, assortment potential, and a commercial value scenario. The output is not just a map; it is an action plan.
From stem geometry to bucking logic to buyer-specific routing.

Sample output
What the assessment returns
The output is not a prettier inventory. It is a decision layer: tree ID, location, geometry, quality signals, expected assortments, sawlog recovery, total sawlog length, premium flags, bucking scenario, and commercial value uplift scenario.
Designed for millimeter-level stem geometry along the commercial length of the tree.

Individual-tree bucking before the harvester arrives
Buyer specifications and price lists can change the correct cut. MetsäTech is designed to interpret those requirements and calculate individual-tree bucking scenarios before the harvester reaches the stem.
Pre-harvest quality intelligence, not just post-harvest measurement.
Designed to reveal commercial stem value before the log reaches factory intake — when there is still time to change the cut, route, and buyer.
Use cases
Where the value is recovered
Commodity softwood uplift
Recover sawlog value lost to standard cuts and average stand planning.
Premium stem discovery
Flag high-grade, rare, or non-standard stems before they disappear into commodity flow.
Seller-buyer trusted inventory
Create a machine-verifiable basis for negotiation before harvest.
Expected vs actual reconciliation
Compare pre-harvest plan with harvester, roadside, truck, mill, and realized-price data.
The verified data layer for timber opportunities
The industry does not need another rough forest estimate. It needs scalable tree-level commercial intelligence — with the precision, repeatability, and detail that manual fieldwork and previous forestry technologies could not economically deliver before value was lost.
Every scanned tree becomes a verified supply object. Every verified supply object can become a market object. Over time, this creates the data layer for a timber opportunity network based on what the forest actually contains, not only on self-reported seller descriptions.
The future timber marketplace starts with verified primary forest data.
For sellers and buyers, the same scan creates a shared trusted basis for negotiation: a machine-verifiable record of what was standing on the site before harvest.
