RuokoLog – Logistics and availability of lake reed
The RuokoLog project studies the logistic chains of lake reed and how the lake reed availability data can be developed using different methods.
As a result of the project’s activities, the network of the representatives of the local reed sector will expand and learn to identify business opportunities related to reed availability and logistics.
For a more beneficial use of reed, there is reason to study the bottlenecks of reed logistics and availability information.
Lake reed
Lake reed is still a relatively unknown and little-used material in Finland. If we can improve lake reed logistics chains and timely information about the reed availability we can utilize the lake reed more wider and versatile.
There is a big need for practical solutions related to the transportation, processing, storage and availability of lake reed. The equipment, storage facilities, know-how and local knowledge of the peat production industry and industries linked to it, as well as agriculture and forestry, provide opportunities to find solutions that make it easier to get lake reed material into better use.
Lake reed is a versatile and climate-friendly raw material.
Three main themes of the project:
-Improving lake reed availability information using machine learning and satellite and aerial photography.
-Developing and finding sustainable solutions for reed logistic chains. Researching business opportunities related to reed logistics. The utilization of the possibilities offered by the peat production equipment in the logistics of reed is being investigated. The preservation of the characteristics of winter reed during storage and transport is taken into account.
-Platform piloting of the Reed-bank, timely access to information between reed producers and end users is being developed. The goal is to respond better to the demand and supply of lake reed in an up-to-date manner.
