00:00Most people think tree felling still requires humans cutting one stroke at a time,
00:04but in reality you don't even get a chance to get close.
00:07This is Germany's latest fully automatic logging machine.
00:10When it begins operation, the mechanical arm locks onto the trunk completely,
00:15then the hidden chainsaw at the base instantly activates,
00:17one dull crack and the roots are severed, dozens of meters of tree crashing down.
00:22Even more impressive, this machine doesn't just cut trees,
00:25it automatically sections and measures each length, every piece precisely cut and neatly arranged.
00:31One entire tree goes from standing to standardized timber sections in under one minute,
00:35efficiency dozens of times greater than manual work.
00:38Through laser ranging and positioning systems it automatically determines diameter and angle,
00:43cutting precisely without wasting a single centimeter of wood.
00:47This is no longer tree felling.
00:49This is forest processing on an assembly line.
