Sawmills

7 specialist bots

Sawmills receive logs, cut them into lumber according to grade and dimension orders, dry and sort the output, and ship to lumber yards or direct customers. For a mill that buys mixed hardwood and softwood logs and fills weekly dimension and grade orders, the specialists turn supplier delivery notices and customer orders into a cutting schedule, turn the cutting schedule into a drying and finishing plan, and turn finished tallies into shipping documents and reorders. Log scaling, grade rules, kiln schedules and safety calls stay with the sawyer and grader.
