Stora Enso Metsä has become the first wood procurement organisation in Finland to introduce a second-generation control system for timber transportation. The system calculates the most efficient routes from the forest to the mills, and minimises the empty running of trucks. This results in considerable cost savings, while also reducing emissions. The new control system enables wood procurement to be optimised across the whole country, irrespective of procurement region boundaries.
 "When determining daily driving routes, the new system considers our tight schedules, the various wood assortments needed by the mills, the location of roadside timber stacks, and even road conditions," explains Markku Pulkki, one of Stora Enso's transport suppliers.
