The Growth rate Tracking System of the Tree for Forest industry

Abstract

This paper described on how to use the Automate system for Growth Rate tracking of each tree in the forest industry which will help to solve the problem to predict the cycle time of each tree will be grown after previous batch of tree has been cut down for forest industry. System designed to keep track of Tree body when it expand to larger and Flex sensor used to wrap around detected the changing while the tree body is getting larger and the percent of the expand of tree body will convert to be growth rate then send them to database server wirelessly both short distance between tree to outpost station by using X-Bee and long length from outpost to Gateway station where more than 1-3 Km away by using Packet Radio or APRS protocol. The growth rate data will use to create the profile of growth rate which will use to forecasting of wood production consist of the timeline of each batch in the next plantation of new trees.
