The university of León (ULE) and Garnica develop a digital tool for the poplar processing industry

Juan Francisco García Marín, rector of the ULE, and researchers of the DRACONES Group have visited the company’s facilities, to learn about the project that is part of DIGIS3, European Hub of Digital Innovation of Castilla y León.

The rector of the University of León (ULE) Juan Francisco García Marín has visited the facilities of the company Garnica in Valencia de Don Juan, accompanied by the researchers of the DRACONES Group, Flor Álvarez Taboada and Fernando Castedo, and the company’s Forestry Manager, Carlos Álvarez Cuevas.

Within the European DIGIS3 project, the University of León (ULE), through the DRACONES research group of the Ponferrada Campus, is developing with the company Garnica a proof of concept to transfer the Populus3D tool to the forestry industry, which allows to digitalize part of its production processes. The aim of this collaboration is to test a working method to make the inventory of standing timber in commercial plantations of poplar clones operational and to provide a faster, more economically feasible, complete and objective option than the current manual methods.
