Sawmill 2020: Using AI and X-ray to map material flow

LIVE SESSION
Speaker: Jere Heikkinen, co-founder and CEO, Finnos

Today’s AI solutions aim to assist human decision making and automate data-based analysis of processes. Currently a missing piece of the puzzle for sawmills is transparent raw material flow. This can be solved by modern X-ray fingerprint technology. Finnos co-founder and CEO Jere Heikkinen will explain how AI and X-ray solutions in use at Northern European sawmills can be adapted to North-American sawmill processes.
