Q-Scan AI is a multi-sensor quality scanner for hardwood and softwood, planned and unplanned. Its integrated lasers and colour cameras, together with AI software, guarantee optimal detection of any defects on up to 4 sides:

• knots
• blue stain
• resin
• sapwood
• compression wood
• insects, etc.

3D surface defects:

• holes
• cracks
• wane
• edge defects

Q-Scan AI creates a complete image of the material and its qualities. Then, in a matter of milliseconds, the system makes decisions on cutting, grading and sorting. The detection results rely mainly on Artificial Intelligence. The software learns to process images like a human brain. This results in improved recognition accuracy and a higher repeatability with changing wood characteristics.

The sorting criteria can be quickly and easily changed, which enables more flexible production and better control of the final product. The scanner is compatible with high-performance optimizing cross-cut saws and sorting systems and can work as an integral component of the overall line. With Q-Scan you can optimize your product by value, yield or production requirements. Our experience shows that the scanner’s detection accuracy is far superior to manual sorting. Also, thanks to a simple and logical user guidance, Q-Scan can be easily operated by any employee.
