CT Log | Hardwood

The Ultimate Hardwood Log Scanning Solution

CT Log installations in North America continue to prove that sawing logs based on detailed internal knowledge significantly increases value compared to traditional sawing methods, particularly for Eastern Hardwood species.

By integrating the CT Log solution, hardwood sawmills may significantly increase revenue by 15-20%, maximizing profits in a competitive market.

More Than Value Uplift

Reaction to Market Changes

CT Log's Maxicut Pro optimization software enables each product to be configured by price and prioritized during initial installation and beyond, allowing sawyers to instantly respond to market changes

Sustainability Improvements & Incentives

CT Log offers significant environmental benefits, effectively 'saving' one in every six trees cut, creating a compelling argument for government agency incentive opportunities

Thicknesses

CT Log can be configured to target products like 6/4, 8/4, and 12/4 specialty products in precise quantities. Targeting high value thick boards can significantly increase ROI

Log Sorting and Cost

CT Log immediately calculates graded value of boards, and can be used in real time to compare the price of the log to the actual sawn value of the lumber inside it, enabling mills to make informed log purchasing decisions

Reliance on Key Personnel

With the CT Log solution, sawyers aren’t required to make subjective opening face, grading, or thickness decisions. This reduces risk exposure, and creates opportunities to better utilize seasoned sawyers' expertise and availability

Simulations

CT Log permanently stores data on every log scanned, enabling offline re-optimization based on a variety of criteria, such as price changes and lumber sales "what-if" scenarios
