REFERENCE CASES

This section of the website presents the Indisputable Key reference cases: how traceability solutions were deployed in these industrial conditions and for which added value.

> Traceability for mutual benefits in the wood supply chain
> Traceability for improved wood procurement and production in a plywood mill
> Automatic and reliable stock management in a oak sawmill

 

 

>Traceability in a multi-stakeholder scenario: Swedish Wood Supply Chain from Forest to window framings.

At the SWSC the whole traceability chain, from forest through saw mill to secondary manu­fac­tu­rer were demonstrated during the project. The following presentations and industrial testimonies will discuss the use of traceability technologies and solutions and the benefits they create for forest-based companies: here Sveaskog and Setra.

 

Introduction to Traceability solution from forest to the wood component – Anders Lycken (SP, Sweden)

 

Anders Lycken


This presentation discusses traceability in the Swedish Wood Supply Chain. It explains some of the technical solutions as well as some of the possible benefits for the stakeholders of the supply chain.

Traceability solution from forest to the wood component – in the FOREST
Christer Ranvald (Sveaskog, Sweden)

Christer RanvaldThe benefits of traceability for a forest company are presented in several parts.
Firstly, the traceability from harvester to log scaling gives us the means to monitor the performance of the harvesting team on measurement, damages and sorting which allows us to take the appropriate actions to minimize lost value due to quality losses.
Secondly, traceability within the sawmill will help the sawmill company to tune the process for higher value yield and eventually fulfil the prerequisites that are needed for improved production control. The benefit for Sveaskog as a forest company mainly is that the customer (sawmill) gets more profitable, competitive and valuates the supplied logs even higher.
Thirdly, when the forest company is partnering with the sawmill company in joined efforts to improve the overall efficiency of the forest-wood chain, traceability allows for improving the customer orientation already at harvesting. This means that models of quality within the trees can be built from real data and better adaption of the log types to the end use can be made in the harvesting operation.

Traceability solution from forest to the wood component – in the SAWMILL
Bo Andersson (Setra Group, Sweden)

Bo AnderssonSetra’s saw mill in Malå has been one of the scenes for installations and data collection in the Indisputable Key project. The saw mill’s benefits with a traceability system is discussed here, with examples of business cases possible to reach, mainly within the saw mill, but also when looking upstream, to the supplier of logs, and downstream, to the customer, the buyer of the boards.

Amélioration de l’approvisionnement par la traçabilité dans une unité de contre plaqué
Emmanuel Pawliez pour Smurfit Kappa Rolpin

 

Emmanuel PawliezDans un contexte de compétition internationale croissant, le contrôle de l'approvisionnement de l'unité de production de déroulage de Smurfit kappa ROLPIN est une fonction essentielle pour préserver la compétitivité de l'entreprise.

L'enjeu d’une traçabilité matière déployée dans l'amont de la chaine est de contrôler au plus tôt l'adéquation qualité des lots livrés pour éviter des coûts de non qualité en aval, et permettre un monitoring réactif de l'efficacité de production et des fournisseurs.

L'exposé met en évidence les attentes de l’entreprise, les travaux de déploiement d'une solution de traçabilité au billon depuis l'approvisionnement jusqu'à l'obtention de placages verts et les perspectives de bénéfices pour l'entreprise.

> Automatic and reliable stock management in a oak sawmill

 

Automatisation et fiabilisation de la gestion des stocks dans une scierie de chêne
Jacques DUCERF (Groupe DUCERF, France)

 

Jacques Ducerf
Dans une scierie de feuillus, le management du  stock des sciages est le point central de compétitivité.

Une gestion réactive des séchoirs ainsi qu'une connaissance exhaustive et sure des toutes les références produits sont autant de clés de succès pour garantir le meilleur produit et le meilleur service aux clients.

Dans ce cadre la traçabilité est un atout essentiel. L'exposé met en évidence les attentes de l'entreprise en terme d'amélioration de la gestion du stock des sciages, les travaux de déploiement de la solution de traçabilité testée, les indicateurs mis en place et leur utilisation au quotidien, enfin les perspectives de bénéfices pour l'entreprise.
