PocketFab LogScale
Defensible dimensions, volume, gross scale and estimated net scale associated with a permanent record for each log.
PocketFab for Sawmills
PocketFab LogScale
Defensible log measurement. Optimized milling. Verified recovery.
PocketFab turns calibrated visual evidence of each log into a defensible scale, defect record and optimized milling recommendation—and then verifies the prediction against the lumber actually produced.
One record from log to lumber
Measure the opportunity, support the decision and verify the result.
PocketFab LogScale connects the incoming log, its visible condition, the recommended milling decision and the actual production outcome.
PocketFab LogInspect
Visible-defect identification, documentation, deduction support and evidence preserved with the log record.
PocketFab MillPlan
Recommended log rotation, opening face and milling choice based on the recovery objectives of the mill.
PocketFab RecoveryVerify
Predicted-versus-actual production analysis showing where lumber volume and value were recovered or lost.
What the mill receives
A measurable and reviewable record for every log.
Each result can remain associated with the source log, production decision and final lumber tally.
Length and diameter
Taper, sweep, crook and ovality
Gross and estimated net scale
Visible defects and deduction areas
Estimated geometric volume
Recommended log rotation
Suggested opening face
Predicted lumber recovery
Actual lumber tally comparison
Permanent evidence record
Close the recovery loop
Know what PocketFab predicted, what the mill produced and where the results differed.
01
Predicted Recovery
Preserve the expected scale, product opportunity and lumber recovery before the first cut.
02
Actual Production
Associate the lumber tally, product mix and production outcome with the individual log.
03
Verified Variance
Identify overrun, underrun and recurring patterns that can improve future milling decisions.
Mill-specific intelligence
Learn from the mill’s actual production results.
PocketFab compares predicted and actual recovery so the mill can evaluate performance using its own logs, production choices and outcomes.
Improve lumber recovery
Support consistent log valuation
Reduce scaling disputes
Document defects and deductions
Improve rotation and opening-face decisions
Compare predicted and actual yield
Identify recurring production losses
Compare performance by species, source or product mix
Build recovery intelligence specific to the mill
Create a traceable production record for every log
Measure. Optimize. Verify.
PocketFab LogScale provides defensible log measurement and mill-specific recovery intelligence from the moment a log enters the yard through the lumber it ultimately produces.
