• User manual

• English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Russian and Slovak user interface
• possibility to define all combinations of produced board sizes (width/thickness) separately for first,second and middle boards for each defined wood species
• the best optimization pattern will be choosen base on yield or produced price of timber
• Different invoice and cutting sizes
• Several optimization methods (26 combinations in total!)
• independent on units (inches/mm)
• suitable for any saw able to cut log in such way
• possible optimization for waney edged boards
• export to MS Excel for further analysis
• price can be defined for every thickness/width combination for each wood species and for middle or side boards separately
• find one optimum sawing solution from range of diameters (unique!). (One pattern applied to all diameters gives maximum average yield or maximum price )
• all boards from first/second pass can be the same size
• possibility to limit the number of side boards
• print possibility
• simple and easy-learn user interface

CutLog chooses optimum solution base on

• Maximum quantitative yield of timber (Pattern Cut, FlexiCut, MultiCut)
• Maximum price of produced timber (FlexiCut, MultiCut). Don't matter of yield. You will get maximum value of timber
• Maximum average yield or maximum price in range of diameters (MultiCut)

It takes in account all important factors related to optimization process:

1. kind of wood species - shrinking allowance
2. normalization - any number of standards base of wich will be size of timber determined
3. Production possibilities - you can define as many of combinations thickness x width in any number of groups for any number of species!
4. Curvature and taper - natural profile of log
5. thickness of saw blade
6. central timber size - entered by user (sawyer) - thickness, width and length
7. side timbers - entered by user. (thickness)
8. log diameter - can be changed
9. Timber price - for specified size
10. Invoice and cutting size (shrinkage allowance) - can be different
11. Waney - possibility to enter maximum waney for particular thickness of board

Advantage of using CutLog is that user has all-in-one software: pattern-cut optimization and price calculator.

Results of optimization process:

1. list of timber
2. list of side boards
3. quantitative yield (cummulative, side/center boards)
4. quantitative yield of chips and sawdust
5. saw blades positions for first and second pass through frame-saw
6. size of requested log for cutting process
7. price evaluation of center/side timber
8. price evaluation of chips and sawdust
9. volume of timber
10. color pattern of sheme
11. 3D visualisation, with possibility to rotate in space
12. pie chart of quantitative yield
13. FlexiCut
    • price of produced timber
    • optimizations for set of diameters
14. MultiCut
    • One optimum sawing solution common for all given diameters. It means, that CutLog finds optimum pattern, which, after application to all diameters gives maximum average yield or maximum price of produced timber (optionally)

In program can be defined:

• unlimited number of wood species
• unlimited number of shrinking allowance data (program will aproximate them if necessary)
• unlimited number of thickness/width combinations for each wood species in unlimited number of gorups
• Different invoice and cutting size
• price of timber for each size, each wood species
• unlimited number of normalizations (which define size of timber)
• price of material, profit, burden rate, labour costs for price calculations
• price of the chips and sawdust
• saw blade width
• and many more...
