Logsystems by Dalgas (Denmark)

WHAT THEY DO

Dalgas specializes in advanced measurement technology for wood, focusing on photo-optical solutions. Their flagship products, LogStackPRO and LogStackLIDAR, offer precise, certified measurements of timber stacks in the field. These devices use LiDAR and stereoscopic cameras, eliminating the need for manual reference tools, which makes them highly efficient for calculating wood volumes in real-time.

STRONG SUPPORT

Dalgas, formerly known as HedeDanmark, developed its advanced measurement technology for wood within Denmark's largest timber company. This connection is significant because it indicates that Dalgas is not a startup, but rather a well-established business unit with robust testing and field applications. The development within such a major company highlights the reliability and proven effectiveness of their solutions in the real-world timber industry.

HOW TO USE

LogStackLIDAR is user-friendly and requires minimal training. The system simplifies timber measurement by enabling users to walk along the log stacks, scanning both the front and back surfaces with the device. This straightforward approach significantly saves time, making it highly efficient for forestry professionals.

TOTAL STACK VOLUME

Dalgas' LogStackLIDAR system efficiently measures timber stacks, providing precise data on total stack volume and solid volume in cubic meters. The system automatically records the GPS position, while key details about the timber stack, such as stack number, quality, and fixed log lengths, are manually entered. After the final measurement, LogStackLIDAR generates a comprehensive report, including the total stack volume, solid timber volume, total log count, and diameter distribution, ensuring highly accurate and detailed results.

ADVANTAGES

A major advantage of LogStackPRO and LogStackLIDAR is their ability to measure timber stacks photo-optically without the need for a reference dimension, such as a measuring stick or tape. This is made possible through the use of advanced LiDAR sensors and stereo cameras, which automatically determine size ratios and ensure precise measurements. This feature sets these systems apart from other photo-optical devices that require manual reference points.

Another key advantage of LogStackPRO and LogStackLIDAR is their ability to easily measure the backside of timber stacks, which is crucial for accurate volume calculations. As handheld devices, they allow users to efficiently measure both the front and back surfaces of the stack. This ensures precise and complete measurements, with the backside data fully documented in the final report, ensuring compliance and reliability.

CERTIFICATION

LogStackPRO is the only portable timber measurement device that is PTB-certified (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt), ensuring that its measurements are both accurate and legally valid for trading wood. This certification guarantees the precision of the data used in timber transactions, offering confidence to both buyers and sellers in forestry markets.

ACCURACY

LogStackLIDAR and LogStackPRO stands out in the market as the only electronic volume measuring devices capable of performing precise timber stack measurements without requiring reference dimensions, such as stages, length, and height. This unique feature allows it to measure both the front and rear surfaces of the log stack, ensuring a comprehensive and accurate assessment of wood volumes.

LogStackPRO is the only certified handheld measuring device with a margin of error as low as +/- 3%, making it highly reliable for businesses and organizations involved in the buying and selling of raw wood. This accuracy and ease of use set it apart from other devices in the market, which often require manual reference points or have higher error margins.
