Katam Inventory Traceability

Technology is transforming the forestry sector, and Katam is leading this revolution with an innovative and efficient solution for forest inventory. By using georeferenced data and complete traceability, we offer a superior level of control and accuracy for our customers.

In manual inventories, the lack of traceability compromises the accuracy of the data and control over the stand. Without georeferencing of plots, there is no certainty about where the data was collected, resulting in a limited view of the actual forest condition. This can make it difficult to identify problems in time, affecting productivity and increasing costs with late adjustments.

Traceability in inventory data not only facilitates internal logistics and tree growth monitoring, but also supports transparency in the production chain — a valuable differentiator for certifications.

With Katam, inventory is tracked from the first stage of the forest cycle to harvesting, without the need for stakes, nails or other traditional marking methods. Our methodology digitally identifies each tree using videos recorded by GoPro, processed by artificial intelligence that provides precise georeferencing on the stand map. This process eliminates manual work, reducing risks of errors and biases in measurements — a crucial advantage for those seeking maximum accuracy.

Georeferencing ensures that the customer knows exactly where each data point was collected, ensuring a broad and representative sampling. This detailed control allows capturing various scenarios of the plot, providing a complete and accurate view of the forest, which facilitates quick identification and correction of problems.

With Katam, you obtain an integrated view of forest development at all stages, in a simple and effective way. After all, the future of forest inventory is more precise, less invasive and much more efficient.
