About ForestVision.ai

We are building the AI layer the $340B global timber industry has been waiting for. Today, the industry relies on a 200-year-old volume formula and manual tape measures to manage high-value log loads, resulting in 17–35% estimation errors. We are replacing this with patented multimodal computer vision and AI agents deployed directly at the truck scale—the most leveraged data moment in the supply chain.  By eliminating these inaccuracies, we directly support sustainable resource management and better stewardship of our natural forests.

Unlike competitors who rely on consumer smartphones for mobile, decentralized setups, ForestVision.ai deploys fixed, industrial-grade camera rigs and edge-computing boxes specifically designed for high-throughput mill entryways. We don’t just output predictions; we generate a state-certified audit trail that transforms raw pixels into deterministic, industry-standard measurements.
