Manual lumber measurement too slow for today's sawmills

Article Abstract:

Computerized measurements of lumber contain more accurate data than manual measurements. Manual measurements are performed at the bottom, middle, and top sections of the boards. The Seecon computerized system, developed in Finland, allows for 400 measurements for the length of each board. Also, vertical or horizontal movements do not affect measurement accuracy.
