Automated board positioning: where the extra yield comes from
Sawmills lose recovery when boards enter the multi-saw at the wrong offset or angle. Even a few millimeters off center can turn into measurable waste and rework. Automated board positioning solves that problem by moving three decisions from the operator to a repeatable, data-driven system.
