WHAT IS SCANNERSCALING?
USING A LOG SCANNER TOAUTOMATICALLY MEASURE ALOG FOR PAYMENT
EITHER GROSS VOLUME ORNET (WITH DEDUCTIONS)
BENEFITS/PAYBACK OF SCANNER BASED LOG SCALING
• INCREASED ACCURACY FOR PAYMENT (INCREASED SAMPLING)
• REDUCTION IN MANUAL SCALING AND IMPROVED WORKING
CONDITIONS FOR SCALERS
• TRACEABILITY / AUDITABILITY / CONSISTENCY (BETTER PROCESS
CONTROL)
• SCALING SCANNER ALSO ALLOWS OPTIMIZED BUCKING BY VALUE
OR ORDER (IMPROVED LOG PRODUCT)
• REDUCTION IN MACHINERY (LOADER OPERATION) – NO NEED TOSPREAD LOADS

Approved Section
BC Ministry of Forests
Section
• Volume is calculated using Smalians formula
• Gross volume = net volume, no deductions for defect, i.e. rot, missing wood
• Logs destined for the scanner have very little defect

Savings from scanner scaling▪ Estimated savings from scanner
scaling are $9.00 m3 ($1.98 MFBM)▪ Savings come from reduced log
handling. Logs are not :• Dewatered • Stick scaled.• Re-bundled and re-boomed
▪ Logs go directly from the harvest site to the mill where they are scanner scaled.

SUMMARY
- SCANNER VOLUME SCALING IS NOW APPROVED INCANADA AND CAN BE USED TO REALIZE SIGNIFICANT COSTSAVINGS
NEXT STEPS IN NORTH AMERICA
- UNDERBARK VOLUME MEASUREMENT
- AUTOMATIC GRADING (VOLUME DEDUCTIONS)

Sawmiller’s dream: "Saw from the inside out"
- See what’s inside a log before sawing
- Use this information to optimize products for Value ratherthan Volume
