iFOS Forestry Solutions
We develop tailored solutions in the field of forestry – technically profound, sophisticated and future oriented
The forestry industry is facing dramatic changes due to climate change and a very tense economic situation. That is why there is currently considerable momentum toward new technologies. Currently, many individual solutions are being developed all over the sector, in which isolated added values are generated, but from which no whole picture emerges.
Prof. Dr. Martin Ziesak identified a concrete need for action to create holistic solutions that, function independently of manufacturers, connect existing technologies and map the vision of smart processes with smart machines. Therefore, iFOS GmbH was founded by Martin Ziesak in 2018.
