Remsoft - Model AFRIDS - Lidar Forest Inventory Mapping & Analysis Tool

The AFRIDS platform from Remsoft is a comprehensive web-based decision support tool designed for lidar forest inventories. Embedded within the platform is Esri ArcGIS technology, enabling advanced mapping, data analysis, and reporting capabilities that require no specialized GIS expertise. This tool aims at optimizing forest operations by providing features such as dynamic block calculations and cost planning for accurate route optimization. AFRIDS integrates seamlessly with other Forest Management Systems or enterprise solutions. Its cloud-based infrastructure ensures secure, versatile access from any location, eliminating the need for in-house IT support. Since its inception in 2011, AFRIDS has supported over 30 million hectares globally, providing invaluable insights and efficiency in forest metrics estimation, including volume and basal area. Furthermore, the Temporal Imagery tool allows users to track inventory changes over time, enhancing the strategic management of forestry resources.

Forest-wide Inventory
