Great conditions in S\u00e4len<\/span> <\/span><\/h4>\n

The Vasaloppet, which is the largest ski race in the Nordic region, starts right outside the sawmill gate at Fiskarheden. There are also great conditions inside the fence, where 850,000 m3 of timber is processed annually – with North Africa as the most important market. The sawmill is a cornerstone business in the municipality, and Martin Eriksson was able to talk enthusiastically about its unique corporate culture and important contribution as a community builder. <\/span> <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_use_pixel=”yes” shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ content_parallax=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”834322″ column_width_pixel=”900″][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”157379″]<\/p>\n

Unexpected effect of CT scan<\/span> <\/span><\/h4>\n

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. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

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. <\/span>Incidentally, we found that accuracy and “order and tidiness” characterized the entire business – Fiskarheden appeared to be a unique business for the woodworking industry.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The study trip to Fiskarheden is part of the “TRE-Automation” project, which Norwegian Wood has carried out with support from Innovation Norway. The project ends in 2025. <\/p>\n

More to learn?<\/span> <\/span><\/h4>\n

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. <\/span> Read more and sign up here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout the winter we will present several topics in the course series <\/span>NWC Insights. <\/b>These online<\/span>online courses will be free for members and will have a low threshold but high practical relevance.<\/span> <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_use_pixel=”yes” shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ content_parallax=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”834322″ column_width_pixel=”900″][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”2234″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”206199″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”2237″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”424425″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
