Affordable computer vision wood scanner, sorting, grading and cut optimization of sawn timber, gluelam manufacturing process upgrade.
Fully-automated KnotInspector is a brand new type of scanner for wood cutting that efficiently recognizes all major wood defects, ensures high quality grading, sorts and cuts wood. It is a highly competitive alternative to whatever leading manufacturers can offer, only at an affordable price.
As a rule, sorting and lumber sawing are carried out once the wood has been visually inspected, which doesn’t always guarantee high quality of the end product. We have gathered all modern computer vision technologies and combined them with our vast experience in the development of signal analysis algorithm. This resulted in production of a superior, yet an affordable tool. We are ready to supply our clients with KnotInspector scanners using a solid manufacturing base.
A reliable scanner at an attractive price will facilitate quality optimization while keeping the prices low, even for small businesses. The ultimate cost of installing and integrating the scanner into your production line will vary from 50,000 to 70,000 euro depending on your manufacture specifics.
