From forestry machines to sociotechnical hybrids : investigating the use of digitally enabled forestry machines
Most forestry machines being produced today include a personal computer that monitors and controls the harvester head, and an information system that stores data on every action the driver or the machine performs. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) thus provide an opportunity to impro...
