Ponsse launches the next generation Opti 5G information system for track-based machines

Ponsse continuously develops solutions that improve the work of forest machine operators and is now introducing the next-generation Opti 5G information system also for tracked based machines. The system is specifically designed to enhance productivity, ease of use, and data management in demanding conditions.

“Opti 5G brings all key harvesting functions together into one clear interface, reducing the need for separate systems and improving daily work efficiency. The system includes, among others, cutting control, automatic cutting, calibration, data management, and reporting – all in one view,” says Markku Savolainen, Product Manager, Harvester Heads, Ponsse Plc.

The new system improves logging optimization, machine control, and operator confidence. The customizable My View display allows quick setting adjustments without interruption, and the active map view enhances safety and situational awareness, Savolainen adds.

Opti 5G produces accurate, real-time data on machine performance, working time, production, and fuel consumption. Thanks to standardized StanForD 2010 data, the system is compatible with international harvesting systems and can be expanded with additional applications. Designed for global use, Opti 5G supports multiple languages and units of measurement. The system also allows marking tree specific data, such as decay or insect damage observations, for reporting purposes.

Usability has been significantly improved: fast response time, clear menus, and three main logical views (work, planning, and machine) support smooth operation. The experience is complemented by the new Opti 8X display, offering excellent visibility and high touch precision even in demanding conditions.

Opti 5G forms a strong foundation for future innovations and is now available as standard equipment for all harvester heads installed on tracked machines.
