Koskisen has invested in a new log sorting line with a Logeye for their state of the art sawmill in Järvelä.

The Logeye is a multi-sensor scanner that utilizes laser, colour, and X-ray channels to provide a high-precision real 360° shape of the log with a wealth of data for log sorting and cutting optimization. The Logeye has a high precision both in over and under bark detection, as well as log inner properties, making it a great choice and a successful product for the northern markets.

Koskisen Production Director Lassi Santala explains that the long and successful cooperation with MiCROTEC Espoo on the Finscan product line as well as the technical features of the Logeye was a big impact on their decision.

The Logeye from MiCROTEC stood out from the competition with the technology of the advanced hardware of the inhouse crometic color cameras within the multi-sensor approach. We see brightly on our future needs with the innovation and technology at MiCROTEC as well as the cooperation going forward continues Santala,  Installation will take place in Q4 of 2024. Juha Ropilo, MD of MiCROTEC Espoo comments on the investment from Koskisen.  “With this partnership we are even further strengthening our position as a provider on the Finnish market, not only within lumber products but also with our wide known log scanners. We look forward to a continuous successful collaboration and installation together with Koskisen.”

Established in Finland in 1909, Koskisen is a forerunner in the mechanical wood industry with over 900 employees. The Koskinen group processes Finnish wood into sawn goods, plywood, veneer and chipboard with customers over the world.
