What is DFI?

DFI, Digital Forest Inventory, is the LiDAR based platform developed by 44moles for digital forest inventories in large scale plantation environments.

Using MLS and TLS scans, DFI delivers precise tree level data including species, height, diameter DBH, and volume. The platform transforms raw scan data into decision ready results.

Designed for inventory companies and forest managers, DFI supports efficient planning, reliable reporting, and data driven forest management.

Who is DFI for?

DFI by 44moles enables professional inventory companies and forest managers in Brazil to work with accurate consistent and comparable forest data.

Key Modules of the DFI System

The DFI system connects LiDAR-based field measurement with digital forest data for reporting, planning, and long-term management.

Digital Forest Mapping

All inventory data is saved within a GIS-based environment, linking plots, stands, and key statistics in one consistent system.

Analytics & Reporting

Standardized datasets and flexible parameter combinations support reporting, documentation, and long-term comparison.

Point Cloud Visualization

Each plot includes a LiDAR-based 3D representation, enabling virtual review of forest structure and stand characteristics.

Shaping the Future of Digital Plantation Management in Brazil

With our official launch in Brazil, we are inviting a limited number of strategic partners to join DFI as Founding Partners.
