Agriculture Industry Automation

Forestry Automation Solutions for the Agriculture Industry

Precision Control for Tough Terrain and Tougher Machines

Forestry operations are some of the most demanding in the agricultural sector. From logging and land clearing to biomass handling and plantation maintenance, operators face harsh terrain, extreme environmental conditions, and high-performance expectations from heavy machinery.

At Telemation, we deliver rugged, reliable, and intelligent forestry automation systems that enhance safety, increase efficiency, and reduce downtime across forestry equipment such as harvesters, forwarders, skidders, loaders, and mulchers.

The New Standard in Forestry Machinery Control

Manual operation in forestry not only increases the risk of mechanical error but also puts operators in dangerous conditions. Our automation and control systems give operators the ability to control, monitor, and diagnose machine functions from the cab—or remotely.

With features like CAN-bus-based control units, heavy-duty wireless transmitters, and integrated HMI displays, we help you meet today’s operational, environmental, and safety challenges with confidence.

Key Features of Telemation’s Forestry Automation Solutions

Real-Time Monitoring and Diagnostics

Get full visibility into the performance and condition of your forestry machinery with onboard displays and CAN-based data logging. Monitor:

  • Engine health and hydraulic pressure

  • Boom position, grapple feedback, or harvester head status

  • Load weight and distribution

  • Track or wheel positioning and terrain tilt

Data is visualised on rugged HMI units (e.g. CCpilot VI2), and fault codes or warnings are logged in real-time for quick maintenance response.

Smart Function Logic

We integrate programmable control logic using EPEC units (e.g. EPEC 3610 or 5050), enabling advanced features like:

  • Boom position automation

  • Feed rate adjustment

  • Terrain-adaptive traction or speed control

  • Emergency override systems and fault interlocks

Remote & Manual Control Integration

Our forestry automation systems include optional wireless control with Teleradio® PUMA transmitters, allowing operators to safely manage machinery during setup, breakdown, or emergencies.

Machine Automation for Harsh Environments

Our control systems are designed to function in heavy vibration, moisture, dust, and temperature extremes. Built with IP-rated enclosures and hardened components, they ensure continuous operation across logging sites and remote forest terrain.

Applications in Forestry Equipment

Our automation technology supports a wide range of forestry equipment, including:

  • Harvesters & Feller Bunchers – Grapple control, cutter head automation, tree measuring sensors

  • Forwarders & Skidders – Load weight tracking, winch automation, traction control

  • Mulchers & Brush Cutters – Rotor speed control, obstacle detection, engine integration

  • Log Loaders & Stackers – Crane automation, joystick-based control, load balancing

  • Feller Bunchers & Log saw – Tree cutting, wood chipping

Each system is custom-engineered to fit the machine model, operational goals, and regional compliance needs.

Hardware Built for Forestry

We deploy field-proven, industrial-grade hardware that supports harsh use:
