Applications
Cutting Optimization, Sorting and Grading
SMARTI WS 100 is an advanced wood scanning system for one sided inspection applications in wood processing industry. System is used for various applications requiring optimized cutting, sorting and grading of lumber or veneer in production lines. Material is scanned from one side, while supporting conveyor belt speeds of up to 500 m/min. In-house developed AI technology enables real time accurate defect and feature detection on lumber or veneer surfaces. Any desired softwood and hardwood species can be supported due to our proprietary AI detection and classification algorithms. Optimization of cutting, sorting and grading of veneer and lumber is executed in accordance with standards or rules that are custom defined by the scanner operators.
Manufacturing Optimization
Maximizing Product Quality and Capacity
Acquisition of SMARTI WS 100 enables higher production performance, while maximizing yield outputs. Our proprietary AI technology for defect/feature detection allows for faster production and ultimate end product quality. Errors are eliminated in cutting, sorting and grading production processes, therefore ensuring fully automatized and autonomous manufacturing lines. Increased production yield outputs and high performance capabilities deliver a value for initial scanner investment. One side scanning of lumber or veneer combined with in-house developed AI algorithms assure for uninterrupted production workflows. Machine can control any manufacturing line or process efficiently and completely autonomously. Customer support for all our products and solutions is guaranteed in order to support high capacity production.

Technology
AI and Machine Learning
SMARTI WS 100 runs with proprietary AI technology in order to facilitate accurate defect/feature detection on lumber or veneer. Machine learning is supported with controlled data inputs in a process called annotating or teaching the machine. For each wood species AI model is generated with respect to the defect/feature inputs. With such principle all softwood and hardwood species can be supported with planned or unplanned surfaces. Annotating process can be done in house or at the customer’s location by our experts. The process is based on annotating or imputing individual defects/features by marking them on scanned boards. Large enough dataset is a basis for machine learning to produce accurate and efficient AI models for detection.
