Summary: The main objective of this study is to find possibilities
for automatic determination of the method of furniture parts
production,particulary from hardwoods.The problems of determining the
method of dimension stock production from softwood could then also be
solved by simple reduction of the limited criteria for hardwoods. The first
stage of the study is making the corresponding computer program for
simulated cutting of boards. This program must be supported by fairly good
graphic presentation which will enable the board defect display with
sufficient accuracy. After the input of the board defects into the graphic
display of the board (non-edged, semi-edged, or edged ), the computer must
optimize the crosscutting-ripping and ripping-crosscutting of boards, and
by comparing the two best optimization solutions,choose one of the two,
suggest the cutting method and assume the results. The next stage of this
study are experimental cutting of boards,simulated board cutting with same
defects distribution as in experimental cutting and comparison of the
experimental and simulated cutting results.

Research goals: - Optimal board cutting based on computer program
simulation; - Decrease of influence of subjective technologist prediction
in making decision of board cutting method; - Increase of yield in sawmill
and roughmill; - Increase of productivity in sawmill and roughmill; -
Increase of products quality in sawmill and roughmill; - Increase of
products value in sawmill and roughmill. Other information about the project.
