The secret to effective and high-performance production in contemporary wood processing is straightforward and completely automated optimisation. An essential part of the entire line is an upstream scanner. The EasyScan Smart from WEINIG quickly identifies the pertinent timber flaws (holes, wane, knots, etc.) on both hardwood and softwood from all sides and sends this information to one or two cross-cut saws downstream at maximum production speed.
The EasyScan Smart, when used in conjunction with the OptiCore software, not only opens up entirely new optimisation possibilities for your production, but it also provides the highest level of production control and manufacturing process transparency at a reasonable price. It is an excellent addition by WEINIG to new optimising lines and the ideal way to upgrade old lines because of its tiny footprint. The EasyScan Smart is a dependable collaborator for both small and large manufacturing organisations.
Cross-cutting (EasyScan Smart C) and sorting (EasyScan Smart S) are the two uses for the new EasyScan Smart. Particularly, the company anticipates benefiting from these new features:
Latest Sensor Techniques
The best possible detection of any flaws on up to four sides is ensured by the integrated laser and color cameras. Reliable identification of 3D surface flaws, including holes, waning, and edge defects, is made possible by an advanced laser technology. Other optional lasers on the scanner offer more thorough details on additional wood flaws that are more difficult for the cameras to detect.
AI-based defect detection
A profound learning class of neural networks from the artificial intelligence discipline is utilised by the new scanner’s sophisticated image processing software, OptiCore AI. Similar to a human brain, the software learns to process images, which enhances recognition accuracy and repeatability when wood qualities change.
More profits and production
WEINIG may optimise its products based on manufacturing requirements, yield, or value with the EasyScan Smart. Given that the scanner’s detection accuracy is substantially higher than that of hand sorting, this can greatly boost its yield and profit.
Friendly software for users
A company like WEINIG can maximise its output with OptiCore. Its items and required attributes can be defined with extreme precision because of the program. After the sensors read every piece of wood, the optimising software determines the maximum yield while considering its quality standards. If WEINIG wishes to use its product’s attributes and information for repeat projects, it can “drag and drop” them into the database for rapid selection. Due to the clear and rational user instructions, any employee can easily operate OptiCore.
