Timbeter
A digital-management tool that uses AI image recognition to precisely calculate log volume.
What is it
Timbeter is a professional app combining AI and machine learning, designed for the forestry and timber industry. Through a smartphone camera, it quickly recognizes logs in a stack and precisely calculates each log's diameter and total volume. This tool turns the traditionally time-consuming and error-prone manual-measurement process into a digital, automated operation, greatly improving the efficiency and transparency of the timber supply chain.
What problem it solves and who it's for
In the traditional timber industry, manual measurement is not only inefficient but also prone to data errors from human oversight, affecting transaction fairness. Timbeter solves the pain point of inconsistent measurement: via image recognition, it ensures every data point syncs to the cloud in real time, letting managers grasp inventory anytime. This tool is well-suited to forestry operators, timber traders, logistics/transport operators, and processing plants. Whether field work or warehouse management, users just take a photo to get precise measurement data, saving labor costs and, through digital records, effectively optimizing the overall supply-chain process.

FAQ
How accurate is Timbeter's measurement?
The tool uses advanced image algorithms and, under standard procedures, achieves very high measurement accuracy while effectively reducing errors from manual measurement.
What should I watch when using it outdoors?
It's advised to shoot in well-lit conditions and keep the lens at an appropriate distance and angle from the log stack for precise AI recognition.
Can the measured data be exported?
Yes — all measurement data syncs to the cloud platform, and users can export reports anytime for downstream supply-chain analysis and management.
