Holzabfuhr-Support-App - Entwicklung einer mobilen Applikation zur Modernisierung des Holztransportes im Land Steiermark

The objective of this paper is to develop a mobile application to support the timber tranportaion process of the forest-based supply chain. The project was carried out in cooperation with Holzcluster Stmk Gmbh. In particular we focus on the digital replacement of the analogue delivery note with an application. A mobile application was implemented on the basis of the Universal Windows Platform, so that the app can be used by any device which uses Windows 10. The User of this app may put in the data of any timber pile to be hauled, which ared passed on to a cloud-based data storage. Besides the timber pile data, like quantity, quality or timber species, it is also possible to record positional information as well as an image – to support the truck driver in finding the right pile.
