Sawmill 4.0 - Gapless traceability

At this year's Ligna, Microtec presents 'the sawmill of the future'. Through its integrated and innovative solutions and the implementation of AI (Artificial Intelligence), every log can be traced to its boards through a 'digital fingerprint'.

The gapless traceability from log to board is guaranteed by:

  • CT Log 360°, the X-ray Computed Tomography for full digital 3D log reconstruction and virtual grading;
  • Logeye Fingerprint, the X-ray Log Scanner for identification and rotation angle evaluation;
  • Truespin, the scanner for log rotation monitoring, and
  • Goldeneye 900, the multi-sensor scanner for boards for identification and quality grading.

The integration of artificial intelligence in the production processes of sawmills allows you to know the value of your final product before breaking down the log. This translates into immediate cost savings and increased added value to the final product, which leads to an impressive return on investment.
