BoardModelTM
is based on on-line NIR spectroscopy analysis of wood
raw material and relevant process parameters. The system
predicts quality of boards and offers a number of
advantages to the board producer such as:
- Continuous control
of board quality
- Less variation in
board properties
- Reduced number of
rejects
- Substantial savings
in raw material costs
- Process optimization
and control
- Increased production
capacity
- Real-time
predictions of wood chip moisture content
Business concept
Board System owns the
equipment and takes responsibility for installation,
programming, staff training, continuous system
calibration and system improvements. In return, the
customer pays a moderate down payment to cover some of
the start-up costs and a fixed monthly fee. The customer
is entitled to cancel the contract at short notice.
