Modern domestic solutions and software for Scandinavian logging in Russia under the new economic conditions

Abstract

The article presents the situation with the supply of traditional solutions, spare parts for them, as well as software for Scandinavian sorting technology of timber harvesting in the Russian Federation, a review (with a brief historical background) of modern available foreign and domestic solutions and software for Scandinavian sorting technology of timber harvesting in the conditions of the new economic reality. Prospects of creation of domestic national modern forest machines (capable to compete with advanced foreign analogues) are analyzed, the review of modern domestic solutions, successfully applied in other raw material industries of the industrial cluster of the Russian Federation (universal tracked chassis, universal hydromechanical all-terrain vehicle), for transport development of hard-to-reach logging areas are presented, and recommendations are given on the possibility of application of such solutions in specific typical natural and production conditions, which are inconvenient for logging of hard-to-reach areas. Solutions for both import substitution and increasing the efficiency of existing solutions for Scandinavian sorting technology of timber harvesting are proposed.
