Timbeter, Polish State Forests Rollout Nationwide Digital Measurement
Following the success of the initial pilot phase, Timbeter, a global leader in AI-powered digital timber measurement, and Polish State Forests (in Polish known as Lasy Państwowe) have advanced to the second stage of implementing photo-optical timber measurement across the country. The large-scale rollout, backed by order of the Polish Director General, is reshaping how timber resources are measured, verified, and managed in the country’s public forests.
The first phase, launched in 2024, introduced Timbeter’s digital technology in 14 forest districts across the Piłan and Poznań Regional Directorates, where it enabled accurate and efficient measurement of over 250,000 cubic meters of timber. Building on these results, the second phase now extends implementation to over 700 forest units nationwide, marking a major step toward full digitalization of forestry operations.
Photo-optical measurement—referred to as the reference method—uses smartphone imagery and AI-based analysis to calculate the volume of timber stacks. Data is automatically transferred to the State Forests’ Leśnik+ system, ensuring accuracy, traceability, and transparency across the entire value chain.
Integrated directly with the Leśnik+ system, the solution provides consistent, auditable records and supports fully digital data management within the State Forests’ operations. With more than 700 forestry units now actively using the photo-optical method, the success of the initiative has led to widespread adoption across all 17 Regional Directorates of Lasy Państwowe.
The current rollout includes a comprehensive national training program for foresters, coordinators, and service contractors, ensuring consistent and effective use of digital tools across all regions.
