Throughput optimization software: definition and uses

Throughput refers to cutting wood into pieces: logs into sawn timber in a sawmill, sawn timber into joinery parts, panels into fitting-out elements. A throughput optimization software calculates the cutting plan that maximizes material yield (the share of wood valorized) and limits offcuts. In a sawmill, it relies on scanners that measure each log or each board before cutting. In the workshop, it prepares panel cutting plans and nests parts on CNC machines.

Criteria for choosing well

  • The material processed: logs, sawn timber, solid wood or panels.
  • The link with machines: scanners, sawing line, optimized crosscut saw, panel saw or CNC.
  • The material yield gain announced and how it is measured.
  • Integration with production management and inventory.
  • The license: perpetual purchase or subscription, number of seats.
