This makes LogStackLIDAR the most reliable measurement system in the market, securing full transparency in the wood trade. Hereβs how it works: 1. Walk along the raw wood stacks while scanning the front (and back surface) with your device. 2. Tap in stack number, quality, fixed log lengths and other unique stack information 3. LogStackLIDAR now produces a complete report with all relevant results, including total stack volume, solid volume and total number of logs. 4. The measured raw wood data can be accessed by all business partners through a secure cloud solution.
