ForestBucker for optimised log bucking

ForestBucker™ is a portable tree stem scanner and value optimiser.

The system will scan and scale a delimbed tree and then calculate the optimal log-grade solution for the stem.

Scanning and scaling the stem, before the bucking decisions are made, yields maximum value for the stem. ForestBucker does millions of calculations to ensure that the highest value is obtained for every stem.

With ForestBucker any operator becomes a top log-maker producing consistent high value and in-specification logs.

Advantages of using the ForestBucker solution:

• Get up to 20% more harvested forest value
• In-specification log-making
• True-shape scanning and tree length optimisation for maximum log value recovery
• Easily switch to the log grades that are on order at the mills
• Use proven and reliable sawmill scanning technology at the harvest location
• Keep log production and quality high in all weather conditions
• Improved safety through remote control technology
• Low running costs

ProfileIt-3D™ Stem Scanner and Value Optimiser is a Windows based software component of the ForestBucker system. The software enables the operator to remotely control the scanner trolley with a joystick. Video cameras mounted on the trolley provide real-time images of the stem to enable the operator to record stem knots and defects.

Log Grade Manager is a Microsoft Access application used for configuring log-grades, cut-plans and process-instructions. Log Grade Manager is used to centrally manage and control output production of log products and volumes.
