Engineering plywood is a complex process. With more affordable, fast-turnaround alternatives like OSB on the rise, the need to optimize is crucial to spearhead a competitive industry.

By integrating automated robotics and vision systems, there’s plenty of scope to streamline production and eliminate manual handling. This means faster, more accurate processing, reduced costs, and a more competitive end-product.

How can it help you?

Vision systems can be set up to inspect, grade, repair and sort plywood, including:

• Face and back scanning, visual 2D and 3D defects
• Edge scanning for panel layup defects, voids or delamination
• Dimensional scanning for width, length and squareness
• Tongue-and-groove fit
• Scanning for robotic routing and repair
• Guiding robotic movements for precise sorting and stacking
• Collecting data on defect trends to isolate production line problems
