Porter engineered many of the advances in sophisticated software
used in determining the best method to break down long logs in
bucking systems and short logs at primary breakdown. From the
earlier methods of Look-Up Tables to the Real Time Solutions of
today, Porter has led the industry in providing a complete
package of Optimization and Process Control for log breakdown.
It is estimated that over 70 percent of Western Canadian logs
have been scanned with PEL systems.
Porter has recently entered the southern USA market with sales
to Weyerhaeuser and Champion International.
"RT2 - Real Time for Real Trees" is a world class software
program that runs on the VME based Motorola line of processors.
"RT2" is in use in most of the largest mills in Western Canada
for primary breakdown on machines such as Sharp Chain Reducer
Bandsaws, Chip-N-Saws and End Doggers, as well as for Bucking
Systems in both Linear and Transverse Merchandisers. Solutions
are generated in less than a second, as thousands of combinations
of boards and cants are evaluated to yield the highest value
products. The resulting sets are sent to the linear positioners
via the PLC and Setworks to position the chipperheads and saws
as well as set the appropriate feedspeed. In some cases, logs
are processed through Chip-N-Saws at feedspeeds of up to 500 fpm.
