Built together with the industry
We work closely with leading forestry companies, forest owners and other key players within the forestry industry to continuously refine and validate our technology in real-world environments.
On this page, we gather technical white papers, case studies and references from our collaborations — giving visitors insight into how Conifer Vision delivers in practice.
Pre-commercial thinning of young forests with Norra Skog
Conifer Vision, together with swedish norther forest giant Norra Skog and another forest company, has carried out extensive testing and field validation of our AI‑based pre‑commercial thinning analysis.
Over a few days, young forests covering several hundred hectares were first scanned by drone, and data from just over 200 stands was then analysed and compared against detailed field assessments from the companies’ own organisations.
Results show that our AI-analysis is largely in line with – and in many cases even outperforms – traditional field inventories when it comes to identifying which stands to prioritise and how hard they should be thinned. This gives forest managers a more consistent and detailed decision basis, shorter lead times from data to ready‑to‑use analysis, and a much better ability to scale thinning planning across large areas.
Following these successful tests, we are now moving into operational use together with Norra Skog. The thinning analysis is being brought into daily operations, providing practical support for staff and members: quickly finding the right stands to treat, planning operations, following up completed thinning, and communicating decisions to contractors and forest owners.
In the linked white paper below, you can explore the validation in more detail, the key metrics we have evaluated, and how this technology is being integrated into both strategic planning and day‑to‑day forest management.
