Download or read book Grading Hardwood Lumber by Computer written by Hiram Hallock and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The computer program described in the report is part of a system being developed to automate the decision-making process in a sawmill. The function of this program is to simulate the grading of hardwood lumber according to the rules established by the National Hardwood Lumber Association. The grading program is being used as an evaluation tool to optimize lumber values at the edger and trimmer in a hardwood sawmill. The programming language used is 3600 Fortran. Processing was done on a Control Data Corporation 3600 computer. (Author).

Book excerpt: Hardwood lumber is a major forest product, and board grading is an important part of its manufacturing and marketing. Computer grading programs have been used to train graders and to grade lumber for board data banks, but they have not been used to machine-grade boards in an industrial environment because of their slow performance. The Hardwood Lumber Grading Program (HLGP) was developed to quickly estimate a board's grade according to the National Hardwood Lumber Association rules by employing a pair-wise heuristic adopted from a separate board cut-up program. This paper describes how HLGP, using a board's size and defect data, locates the board's non-conflicting, clear-wood regions, uses them to calculate the yield, compares the board's size and defects with the limitations in the grading rules, and then assigns a grade. It also discusses how the original pair-wise algorithm was modified to expand the solution space without introducing too large a time complexity. Using a large board set that had been extensively evaluated both manually and by the most widely recognized computer grading program, HLGP correctly graded 1,289 out of the 1,581 boards. This translates into a misclassification rate of 18 percent, which is too high for industrial applications. However, HLGP averaged only less than a second to grade a board creating ample opportunity to improve the algorithm's accuracy before increased execution time becomes a problem.

Book excerpt: S2With rapidly increasing lumber prices and shortages of some grades and species, the furniture industry must find ways to use its hardwood lumber resource more efficiently. A computer program called OPTlGRAMI is designed to help managers determine the best lumber to use in producing furniture parts. OPTlGRAMl determines the least-cost grade mix of lumber required to produce a given cutting order of dimension parts. If the optimum grade mix is not available, the program can determine the best alternatives. It also can be useful in procurement and allocation planning. A description of the program and examples of its use are included.S3.

Book excerpt: The 1992 Data Bank for Red Oak Lumber is a collection of fully described FAS, Selects, No. 1 Common, and No. 2A Common boards (a total of 1,578 at present). The data bank has two unique features to aid in sample selection. The first feature is the double grading of FAS, No. 1 Common, and No. 2A Common boards to reflect the surface area in grading cuttings when grading with standard National Hardwood Lumber Association (NHLA) procedures and when using as many grading cuttings as possible under NHLA rules. The latter gives a more accurate predictor of the potential utility of the board. The second feature is the inclusion of quality levels for the No. 1 Common and No. 2A Common boards. Written for researchers and industrial decision makers who may have only a limited knowledge of the NHLA grades, the data bank contains a limited description of factors affecting the grades. Included are a description of Realistic Grading System (ReGS), the computer program for grading lumber; some reasons why lumber users who buy kiln dried lumber may want to specify the Special Kiln Dried Rule; the effect of kiln-drying on soundness of knots; and the surprising finding that relatively few No. 1 Common and No. 2A Common boards contain any pith at all.
