Maximizing Value & Resource Efficiency

At MiCROTEC, we are deeply committed to sustainability and the responsible use of forest resources. Our advanced scanning solutions help sawmills maximize the value of each log while reducing waste and emissions at every step of the production process. By optimizing cutting decisions even before sawing, our scanning solutions enable our customers to achieve more with less—for a future that’s smarter, more efficient, and truly sustainable.

CT Log detects all internal log characteristics and classifies virtual boards before sawing early on at the logyard. Combined with MiCROTEC Connect, this Cut-on-Demand solution recalls the classification before cutting and enhances value up to 20%.

The result: The best fitting log for each target product is identified. For the same output volume, fewer logs need to be cut and transported — reducing waste, truck traffic and emissions — while more CO2 continues to be absorbed by the trees left standing in the forests.

That´s what we call MiCROTEC $ustainability.

A real-world example: At a medium-sized sawmill, with an annual cutting volume of 400,000 m³, our MiCROTEC Connect solution enables the same output of target products to be achieved with the following significantly improved environmental sustainability.

~ 20,000 fewer logs *

cut per year
(*assumption: 1 log ~1m³)

~ 600 fewer trucks *

on the road annually to the sawmill
(*assumption: 30m³ /truck)

~ 3000 MWth less energy needed*

during Kiln drying
(*assumption: Energy consumption kiln/m³ = = 0,3MWth, base: output )

~ 300,000 kg of CO₂*

absorbed each year by the trees left uncut in the forests
(* 1 living tree absorbs ~15kg /year)
