BestCut M2 for birch boards
1
Goal
The goal was to replace the existing rip-cut scanner with our new advanced BestCut M2 to increase the yield.
The challenge was to replace the existing scanner with a new one in four working days.

Challenge
-
Rising prices of raw materials and increasing competition require a significant increase in the efficiency of using materials and an increase in the output of a high-quality final product.
-
full use of technological improvements in the production process before and after the sawing process:
-
We provided our latest intelligent optimizing rip-scanner for five rip optimizations.

Solution
-
Zippy Vision improves the operational efficiency of the largest European birch solid wood processor, Krauss, by installing its cutting-edge next-generation Zippy Vision BestCut M2 scanner. The BestCut M2 scanner provides complete 2D product placement rip-cut optimization for five independent saw-rips to achieve maximum output value while simultaneously considering the value of finger-joint and fixed-length final products.

Results
-
Yield increased by 8% after switching from the existing rip-cut optimization scanner to the next-generation Zippy Vision’s BestCut M2 scanner.
-
Just 0.9 seconds is required to determine every board's rip-cut best-value saw-rip positions and angle. It allows for a compact machinery layout with minimal distance between the scanner and the multi-rip saw**.
-
The customer reports a significant rip-cutting precision improvement due to precise positioning information and higher precision of rip placement without any changes in the hardware and saw.
-
The production line was stopped only for four days due to the scanner exchange process.
