Unique Features of VisionTally VisionTally produces
actual board measurements while the boards are still
inside the bundle. All other methods of obtaining actual
board measurements require the boards
to be individually measured outside the bundle. All other
methods of end-tallying lumber use some form of nominal measurements. VisionTally scans and measures both ends of a bundle.
Two different sets of data are collected—from the even end and the jagged
end. The data sets are compared and analyzed to determine the most accurate measurements
for each board in the bundle. VisionTally automatically detects and performs wane analysis.
Wane is detected on both the even and jagged ends of the board.
The synthesis software uses proprietary algorithms to analyze
the detected wane and adjust the actual board measurements. VisionTally does not need personnel attention during the scanning
process.
Using VisionTally, lumber is measured and tallied as part of the
workflow process. When the command is given to start the scan,
VisionTally will automatically complete the scan while production
personnel are performing other tasks. VisionTally is not subject to human errors that are a result of
fatigue or lack of concentration. Unlike other tallying methods,
there are no tedious, repetitious tasks that
need to be performed by specially trained personnel. VisionTally
does not require length marks or special bundle preparation.
Standard, typical bundles of lumber are processed by VisionTally.
At the time VisionTally is installed, the using company will specify
its own parameters for bundle size and VisionTally operation.
