SHAPING THE FUTURE OF ENGINEERED WOOD

Machine Vision

Scanning systems have become even smarter. Machine-to-machine communication, artificial intelligence and autonomous robots mark the next step of our ever-evolving technology.

Veneer

Veneer

Using machine vision to clip and grade veneer has been the industry standard for many years. Now the challenge is optimizing other areas of production which are time- and labor-intensive such as sorting, repairs and stacking.

Plywood

Plywood

By integrating automated robotics and vision systems, there’s plenty of scope to streamline production and eliminate manual handling. This means faster, more accurate processing, reduced costs, and a more competitive end-product.

OSB

OSB

Machine Vision delivers reliable and consistant results in quality control and grading. It also enables new benchmarks for face grading, edge density, tongue & groove profiles, paper & foil overlays.

Particleboard

Particleboard

A smart scanning system collects crucial information on when and where defects are occuring in production. These trends help minimize or eliminate defects and identify critical improvements.

Boost your Production

Improve grading performance

Scanning technology is becoming even faster and more reliable. The need for manual quality control and grading has been eliminated – increasing grading accuracy up to 98% while reducing labour costs.

Fully automate production

Integration with robotics is improving production flow, enabling automated inspection, grading and handling at high-speed.

Optimize production in real-time

Combine data with machine learning and robotic automation to get smart machines that automatically adjust to minimize a defect, or send out alerts for maintenance.

Isolate and resolve production problems

Vision systems collect data and monitor trends to help identify where and when problems and inefficiencies are occurring.

Enable flexible, adaptive production lines

The future points to artificially-intelligent cameras that teach themselves how to scan and grade a new product without re-programming.

Veneer 

Machine vision and industrial robotics can leapfrog your production yield and add further competitive edge to your business.

> Clipping optimization
> Clipper and dryer visual grading
> Moisture detection and sorting
> Layup scanning
> Robotic green and dry veneer stacking
> Reporting and integration with moisture and strength graders
> Collecting data on defect trends to isolate production line problems

Plywood 

Vision systems can be set up to inspect, grade, repair and sort plywood, including:

> Face and back scanning, visual 2D and 3D defects
> Edge scanning for panel layup defects, voids or delamination
> Dimensional scanning for width, length and squareness
> Tongue-and-groove fit
> Scanning for robotic routing and repair
> Guiding robotic movements for precise sorting and stacking
> Collecting data on defect trends to isolate production line problems

OSB

Vision systems can be set up at various points to monitor, inspect and grade OSB, including:

> Quality inspection for defects on face and back
> Dimensional scanning for width, length and squareness
> Checking for sander defects or rough/broken edges
> Edge scanning for low density and delamination
> Paper/foil overlay and wrinkles
> Chip and glue mix distribution and consistency
> Tongue-and-groove fit
> Collecting data on defect trends to isolate production line problems

Particleboard 

Fully automated quality control and grading, allows for your production to operate a superior speed and greater consistency compared to manual graders.

> Face and back scanning for defects
> Checking for broken corners or rough edges
> Dimensional scanning for width, length and squareness
> Edge scanning for thickness, and density quality and consistency
> Wood fiber and resin mix distribution and consistency
> Indent / outdent impressions
> Collecting data on defect trends to isolate production line problems
