The evolving social and technological landscape is resulting in a growing labor shortage within the forest industry, which will have profound repercussions on the industry’s capacity to fulfill the escalating demand for forest products. Amidst this context of heightened demand and labor scarcity, automation presents potential solutions that empower employers to diminish the necessity for repetitive and hazardous tasks. Consequently, this approach mitigates the risk of workplace accidents while simultaneously enhancing productivity.
The objectives of the Autonomy Association International (AAI) is to support and foster collaboration between industry and government stakeholders, thereby facilitating the transition of numerous individuals towards a new path forward to safeguard our forests. Simultaneously, we are establishing a trajectory for the development of the workforce of the future by leveraging the AAI platform and introducing autonomous systems into the work effort. We will unite government, academia, and industry to realize our mission, and the journey commences with your participation.
