Softwood Veneer and Plywood Manufacturing

7 specialist bots

Softwood veneer and plywood mills take log and flitch orders, peel veneer, lay up panels, press, trim and ship to distributors or manufacturers. For a mill that receives custom panel orders (specific thicknesses, grades and glue types) on a weekly production cadence, the specialists turn incoming orders into confirmed specs, orders into a peeling and layup schedule with veneer inventory, and the schedule into press times, drying plans, cutting lists and shipment loads. Log grading, species mix, glue formulas and product certifications stay with the production manager.
