BestCut M2
Fully autonomous rip cutting optimization scanner from ZippyScan series with two-side optimization for bottom-line yield improvement.
BestCut M2 in our ZippyScan series is an AI-powered, high-resolution rip-cutting optimization system designed to maximize yield and efficiency in wood processing. Leveraging high-performance computing (HPC) and AI-driven defect recognition, it ensures precise optimization for green and dry wood without requiring optical adjustments. The system considers downstream costs, order fulfillment, packaging, and wood chip prices to enhance profitability. With 2D optimization for up to eight moving saw blades and customizable surface quality definitions, BestCut M2 delivers exceptional precision and flexibility for lumber processing.
The BestCut M2 is equipped with cutting-edge 3D and visual sensors, accurately analyzing boards up to 700 mm wide while minimizing false positives. Digital twin technology, available in cloud or edge-based solutions, revolutionizes sawmill operations with real-time data insights, scenario analysis, and seamless parameter updates for improved yield and reduced costs.
One way to implement the most valuable cutting strategy is to use the M4 beam cut optimization system upstream. Then the whole chain of cutting decisions is automated and optimized to get most of the value out of the raw material at the same time while saving on human costs and ensuring uninterrupted and efficient utilization of equipment and material. The system can be integrated into existing sawmill equipment to replace human operations or be part of the new, fully automatic line. The system analyses billions of possible cutting lists to select the best by value, thus far surpassing human possibilities.
