Abstract

A computer-implemented method for controlling sawing of logs, including obtaining information of a timber lot configured to be produced from logs configured to be sawn, obtaining an optimization objective for a statistical optimization model configured to be used for producing the timber lot, and determining a sawing configuration including at least one sawing pattern for a saw, which sawing configuration is determined based on the optimization objective, which at least one sawing pattern is configured to be used for sawing the logs to timber of the timber lot. The disclosure further relates to a sawing controlling system and a computer program product performing the method.

Abstract

The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for controlling sawing of logs (111), comprising obtaining information of a timber lot configured to be produced from logs configured to be sawn, obtaining an optimization objective for a statistical optimization model configured to be used for producing the timber lot, and determining a sawing configuration (110) comprising at least one sawing pattern for a saw (108), which sawing configuration (110) is determined based on the optimization objective, which at least one sawing pattern is configured to be used for sawing the logs (111) to timber of the timber lot. The invention further relates to a sawing controlling system and a computer program product performing the method.
