This year Armin von Grebmer, CSO Microtec, will give a presentation at both WoodTECH venues with the title – “Yield optimization: Volume vs. Quality. Case studies – improving lumber recoveries – from log breakdown to rip and cross cut optimization.”

This scientific presentation will contain data from real installations and best practice solutions for sawmills and planer mills.

This event will showcase the very latest in wood scanning, sawmilling and mill optimization technologies best suited to local sawmilling companies as well as providing a series of practical workshops for production and operational staff on how to extract the best performance out of their existing sawing operations.

Mircrotec supplies solutions for sawmills, planer mills and secondary wood processing industries using custom designed mechanical, electrical and automation solutions.
