Why is a bad scanner the most expensive employee in a sawmill?

Finnos offers a solution that covers the entire production chain, from log reception to finished lumber, transforming raw material into data and data into a direct bottom-line result.

Finnos Fusion – End of blind spots in the plugging phase

Everything starts with a log scan. If an incorrect quality setting is made at the beginning, it will be duplicated throughout the entire rest of the process. Fusion does not settle for a single measurement technology, but combines X-ray, 3D laser scanning, and RGB data into one seamless decision-making engine.

When three different sensor technologies are fused, the blind spots characteristic of traditional scanners are eliminated. The fusion simultaneously sees the log's external shape, surface, and internal structure. This multi-sensory capability ensures that the log is directed to its optimal use with millimeter precision, maximizing value recovery right from the first processing step.

2. Finnos Board Scanner – Quality Chip Elimination

When the log is sawn, quality assurance takes over To the Board Scanner. Many sawmills already use some form of board measuring device, but it often suffers from ”silent waste.” Inaccurate devices are often calibrated conservatively, resulting in over-grading and unnecessary trimming. This represents a direct financial loss.

Board Scanner guarantees a value of over 96 %:

• Quadruple scan: The system describes sawing from all four sides with a cross conveyor without turning.
• Continuous accuracy Unlike the human eye or outdated sensors, Board Scanner does not tire. It analyzes every fault type with the same criteria at a rate of up to 240 pieces per minute.
• Smart Sorting: The system is part of the sawmill's digital nervous system, enabling fingerprint technology and complete transparency from the log phase to the finished product.

3. Neuro CT – AI at the Core of the Sawmill Industry

Where traditional CT solutions provide three-dimensional visibility, Neuro CT It takes technology to a new level by combining computed tomography and machine learning. It is a platform that transforms log sorting and optimization into virtual lumber sorting even before the first cut.

Neuro CT uses patented neural network-based (AI) technology. The result is faster and smarter optimization of timber utilization.

Unique benefits of Neuro CT:

• Software-based update: Neuro CT is compatible with all Finnos Fusion and Optimizer scanners. It can be installed as a software update on existing 2-view X-ray scanners without the need for new hardware or weeks of installation work.
• Deep learning: Artificial intelligence can identify internal properties that are invisible to the human eye, enabling virtual board sorting.
• Applicability It is not just a theoretical model, but applied intelligence that enhances raw material utilization.

The time for guessing is over

In a world where raw material prices are rising, sawmill profitability depends on the ability to extract maximum value from every log. The Finnos ecosystem - Fusion, Board Scanner, and Neuro CT - forms a complete system where decisions are based on mathematical certainty, not human interpretation or outdated technology assumptions.
