WOODSMART IS THE BEST SOLUTION FOR DEBARKING AND CHIPPING OPTIMIZATION
The flagship solution of Teknosavo’s Smart product family, WoodSmartTM, optimizes the wood and chip flow in pulp production by using artificial intelligence.
With the uniform feed of automated debarking and chipping, the amount of raw wood and energy needed in process decline per produced pulp ton. At the same time, the quality of the pulp improves. Better with less and more.
Achieve the benefits of automated control
With the WoodSmartTM optimization system, the pulp mill achieves 4% improvement in raw material efficiency an average. At the same time, the yield increases with 2%.
The WoodSmartTM system utilizes artificial intelligence-driven machine vision for automated control of the wood flow. It allows the wood flow to be kept steady without line interruptions caused by transverse and broken logs. The line automatically identifies possible deviations and adjusts its speed to optimize the wood flow. At the same time, the uniformity of debarking and chipped biomass enables consistent feedstock to be directed to the digester. This reduces the amount of needed raw wood and energy used in the process, which means significant savings in raw material purchases per ton of pulp produced.
WoodSmart’s automatic optimization system prevents production interruptions and occupational safety hazards in the line. The StoneSmart connected to it helps to identify stones and other foreign objects on the line. This ensures the condition of the chipper blades and thus the high quality of the chips.
WoodSmart’s productivity benefits:
◦ improve productivity = an average of 4% less wood and energy needed per ton produced
◦ elimination of interruptions due to abnormal wood flow
◦ change in production work to control room and improve occupational safety by automation
◦ consistent end product
