Supply Chain Software
YardManager
Position-based wood yard management system for pulp mills
YardManager Can Reduce or Stop:
- Manual stock inventories
- Manual tracking of raw materials
- Degradation losses in wood yard
- Material losses in debarking
Key Feature
Map-based view
to Mill Yard content
Experience enhanced mill yard management with our innovative map-based application. Designed to cater to mill yard supervisors, production planners, and more, our application provides a visual representation of your mill yard content directly.
-
Wood quality degradation losses in wood yard
- System shows where the oldest wood is stored, more effective turnaround in the wood yard and terminals.
- System shows where the oldest wood is stored, more effective turnaround in the wood yard and terminals.
-
Improved wood yard inventory
- Online inventory data of wood yard, terminals, and chip stacks in bundle/load level.
- No need for manual inventories.
-
Material and energy losses in debarking
- Optimizing tools for each debarking line with real-time raw-material feed.
- Energy savings with optimized debarking time.
-
Tools for log stacker drivers to fulfill production orders
- Log stacker or bucket loader drivers maintain constant visibility of production orders and their fulfillment. The system dynamically displays map locations of appropriate wood for ongoing production orders to streamline operations.

-
Traceability down to each bundle transaction
- All events made by log stackers are recorded with weight and positioning data.
- Includes standard integration to various weighing devices.
- GNSS receiver gives positions of every lift and drop.
-
Optimized raw material mix of wood or chips to production
- Desired mix for each debarker can be shown as a production order to log stacker drivers.
- Log stacker or bucket loader drivers put wood or chips with different tree specie or quality to debarker according to production order.
- Feed to debarker can be monitored in real-time from dashboards.
- Easier to achieve a homogeneous mix.
-
No manual bookkeeping of stocks
- All wood or chips movements in mill yard are based on log stacker or bucket loader events.
- Stocks are always up to date.
- Online stock analysis can be made by any data available from the wood or chips — e.g. balance, location, tree species, storage time.
-
Ability to follow machine work
- Log stacker or bucket loader drivers put wood or chips with different tree species or quality to production according to production order.
- Work of log stacker or bucket loader can be followed from dashboards online.
- Reports are based on actual machine events and can show any given time.
Key Feature
