With over 30 years of development, SAWSIM® is widely recognized asthe most powerful sawmill simulation program available. Using SAWSIM®, virtually any \"What if...?\" question you may have about your operations can be answered.  \nDimension Cant Breakdown  \nUsing SAWSIM®, virtually any  \n\"What if   ?\" question you may have about your operations can be answered  \nExport Cant Breakdown  \nSAWSIM® Applications:  \nTypical applications of SAWSIM® include the analysis of the following scenarios:  \n• Evaluation of the benefits of mill improvements such as optimum bucking, primary breakdown optimizers, cant optimizers, saw kerf or target size reduction, and improved log alignment systems; determine accurately the ROI for capital projects.  \n• Effects of a change in lumber product mix, such as a shift in lumber width production orthe addition of an export product.  \n• Evaluation of alternative mill design or modernization options, including mill flow and machine piece count evaluations.  \n• Effects of a change in mill log diet.  \n• Effects of log supply allocation to different breakdown lines, different mill sites, pulplog vs. sawlog considerations, etc.  \n• Effects of a change in log breakdown policy (eg. wide center cant vs. narrow center cant plus sideboards, full-taper vs. half-taper, etc.) .  \nover →  \nHALCO Software Systems Ltd.

In addition to the printout information above, the \"Totals and Averages\" will show the overall lumber product distribution.  \nSpecific Program Features:  \nSpecific features of the SAWSIM® program allow simulation of the following:  \n• Optimum or manual bucking of stems.  \n• Production of many lumber sizes with different wane rules for different products.  \n• Different saw kerfs and target sizes for different machines.  \n• Any type of log & cant positioning, including full-taper, half-taper, \"centering-roll\", etc.  \n• Curve-sawing.  \n• Addition of edger, trimmer, and cant optimizers, plus the ability to account for imperfect manual edging, manual trimming, and other sources of mis-manufacture.  \n• In grade-sawing mills, different grade regions can be defined in the log, and the volumes of different lumber grades produced by different sawing policies can be determined.  \n• Specification of products by vertical grain, flat grain, mixed grain, heart-center, and free-ofheart-center, and production from the appropriate position in the log.  \nUsing SAWSIM®  \nSAWSIM® can be purchased for in-house use, or studies can be undertaken on a consulting basis by staff of HALCO Software Systems Ltd.  \nModeling by Simulation  \nSAWSIM® is an example of HALCO’s approach to simulation and optimization. This is to develop detailed models of each step in the process, and to validate these against operating statistics.
