SMART Link becomes digital reality in Sweden's largest pine sawmill
The Swedish group SCA relies again on the innovative technologies of Microtec.
The largest project in the company's history to date was achieved in the course of several orders. Scanners from Microtec are now being used at all production stages of the SCA Bollstabruck sawmill.
"We are very pleased with SCA's decision to continue its long-standing partnership with Microtec. This project is of outstanding strategic importance, as it combines our innovative scanning technology with the ability to display the entire production process in a completely transparent manner," emphasizes Frank Jöst, CEO Microtec.
The project includes the implementation of a CT Log and a Logeye 302D fingerprint scanner in front of the sawing line. Microtec will also install two Goldeneye 900 Multi-Sensor Quality scanners for green sorting and another Goldeneye 900 for dry sorting. The analysis of the resulting data is carried out by using the Mill Manager developed by Microtec.
"The implementation of the fingerprint concept, which runs through the entire sawmill process, represents a novelty for the sawmill industry and a paradigm shift in both work preparation and process control," explains Jörn Rathke, Technical Sales at Microtec.
