Store forhold i Sälen
Vasaloppet som er det største skirennet i Norden starter rett utenfor sagbruksporten til Fiskarheden. Store forhold er det også på innsiden av gjerdet, hvor det årlig foredles 850.000 m3 tømmer – med Nord-Afrika som viktigste marked. Sagbruket er en hjørnesteinsbedrift i kommunen og Martin Eriksson kunne engasjert fortelle om unik bedriftskultur og et viktig bidrag som samfunnsbygger.
Unexpected effect of CT scan
The company installed the Microtec CT log system in 2018. They made careful calculations ahead of the investment, and have experienced major improvements in quality and yield because the sorting by diameter and log shape provides a very efficient utilization of the raw material.
During NWC’s visit, MiCROTEC’s 3D frame was still intact in the timber sorting system. However, this will only be used if the CT scanner is out of operation for a long period of time. Incidentally, we found that accuracy and “order and tidiness” characterized the entire business – Fiskarheden appeared to be a unique business for the woodworking industry.
More to learn?
NWC will follow up the visit with a webinar on December 9, where the theme is the use of AI for sorting, with presentations from MiCROTEC and Iteria. Read more and sign up here.
Throughout the winter we will present several topics in the course series NWC Insights. These onlineonline courses will be free for members and will have a low threshold but high practical relevance.
