KYIV. March 22 (Interfax-Ukraine) – State-run enterprise Forestry Innovative-Analytical Center and Latschbacher Ukraine LLC plans to design software for controlling the lawfulness of timber production and its movement by the police by the middle of May.
According to a press release of Latschbacher Ukraine, on March 10 the company and the Forestry Innovative-Analytical Center signed an agreement on the further development of the timber e-system.
“The Control module will be created for the National Police of Ukraine. This application would help the police to effectively control the lawfulness of timber production and its movement,” the company said.
It will take around two months to introduce the module.
“When the module is introduced, the National Police would finally receive the efficient tool for controlling timber. All that is left to do is to connect the rest of forestry enterprises [under management of the Defense Ministry, Ecology and Natural Resources Ministry and local authorities] to the timber e-system,” the company said.
The timber e-system was designed from 2009 through 2012 on the basis of Austria’s WinforstPro software. Specialists of Latschbacher AG (Austria), Timber&EquipmentGmbH (Germany) and Latschbacher Ukraine adapted the logistics innovation technologies to the specific of Ukrainian enterprises. In 2013, the system was introduced in 192 forestry enterprises coordinated by the State Forest Agency of Ukraine.
