Sector insight
Carbon and fiber
The carbon and fiber sector is under pressure from rising demand and resource inefficiencies. TTA-ISO provides cutting-edge automation solutions to help nurseries optimize production, reduce waste, and ensure sustainable growth.
The carbon and fiber sector faces two primary challenges.
Challenge 1
Rising demand
Increased global demand for carbon and fiber necessitates larger-scale forest plantations, putting pressure on nurseries to increase output and optimize production.
Challenge 2
Lower-quality seed
The need to meet the rising demand often requires using lower-quality seed batches, resulting in decreased germination rates and the need for more advanced selection processes.
These challenges call for innovative solutions.
In the following sector insight video, we share our vision for how the Carbon and Fiber sector can adapt and thrive in this rapidly changing environment.
"Optimizing forest seedling production means turning challenges into opportunities—transforming lower-quality seeds into sustainable growth through advanced selection and vision technology."

Maximizing efficiency to meet growing demand
Automation is crucial for meeting rising demand by significantly reducing resource waste in every step of the nursery process—from harvesting and cutting to delivering the final product. Current inefficiencies result in as much as 30% waste, and automating these processes allows nurseries to optimize production capacity, minimize losses, and achieve sustainable growth.
Focus on qualified plants
Precision selection and grading with vision technology
To address the issue of low germination rates due to inferior seed batches, advanced vision transplanting technology is employed. These systems carefully assess each plant, identifying and selecting only those that meet quality standards. By transferring only qualified plants to nurseries, this process guarantees optimal efficiency and consistency, achieving nearly flawless results after the transplanting stage.
