Microtec received an order from UAB Juodeliai in Lithuania.
"The Microtec solutions installed so far significantly increase the productivity of the sawing line, which promotes sustainable processing of the material and improves the yield and quality of the final products. With the upcoming installation of the CT Log, we expect a significant increase in quality and yield to better meet the current market demands," says Ignas Stasiukonis, CEO of UAB Juodeliai.
The CT Log will be integrated into the log yard commissioned in 2020, already equipped with Microtec scanner technologies and software solutions. The plant is designed to process short lengths, especially hardwoods, and here the CT Log will show its strengths in industrial hardwood sorting. The integration of the CT Log is scheduled to take place in summer 2022, with the project's main objectives being full quality detection of the birch, poplar, and alder species, as well as highly accurate underbark contour detection. This will be done at a 130 m/min regular sorting speed.
In addition to the scanner and software solutions at the log yard, UAB Juodeliai has installed the Microtec Winlog GPS system, which achieves optimal loading vehicle utilization with the shortest possible travel distances. Moreover, UAB Juodeliai has invested in a simulation tool for work preparation using automatic cutting pattern generation handling customer requests, production cost, and the existing log inventory to maximize yield.
