THG DIFFERENTIATORS – COMPARISON SHOPPING
Following are a few key features that THG customers can access when it is combined with a WinTally system. ? ?Reduced product setup: enter products ONLY once at the WinTally computer ? ?Increased product control for enhanced product mixing
Grade Mark Reader
Projectors
? ?Built-in board logging from the optimizer ? ?WinTally automatically saves selected board images for diagnostics ? ?Bin dispersion allows the tally to disperse products throughout a bin ? ?Product mixing allows a mix of products within a bin
Grade Projector
USNR’s new Grade Projector system is an innovative way to display lumber grades on boards. The system uses a projector mounted above the flow to project the grade determined by the optimizer directly onto each board, and tracks that projection with the board as it passes by a check grader (pictured above). Boards are not marked in any way, so your freshly planed lumber remains clean and bright. The Grade Projector does the job easier and better. ? ?Projected symbols are customizable; you can create symbols your facility is used to using ? ?All saw lines including near end, far end and cut-in-2 are projected onto the material in their respective locations making it very easy to view trim decisions ? ?Multiple grades can be projected onto boards for multi-grade cut-in-2 decisions ? ?Projections are highly accurate and can track material on smooth or lugged chain ? ?Projections detect skewed material and adjust appropriately ? ?User-selected defects can be highlighted for the check grader to pay special attention to specific board solutions
WinTally integration
Integration between the THG and WinTally sorter management system is a powerful combination that offers a wide variety of lumber processing, sorting and packaging options not available with other suppliers’ solutions. When WinTally is integrated with the THG (or LHG) the mill enters the products and quantities it wishes to make into the WinTally computer. The optimizer’s board solution is automatically relayed to the WinTally system for sorting the boards into the appropriate bins in the quantity that is called for. Further, if a mill is cutting to order once the order is filled the optimizer no longer makes that product. Instead it will select the next most valuable product per the mill’s inputs. This could be a cut-n-two or single board solution depending on the value of currently active products and the physical characteristics of the piece. The mill can specify the parameters of any package. For example, it may choose to pull a mixed product package for a special customer, and create the package with an even dispersion of a particular product within the pack. The options are limited only by the mill’s imagination and its customers’ desires.
