MPM's NextGen log optimization process finds the optimal cutting solution for a complete range of log sizes and lengths. The fitting process uses X-Y or 3-D profile model of the scanned log to find the best combination of boards from a defined set of products. Either product value or recovery factor can drive the optimization process while allowing product order management.

• Employs various scanning technologies
• Flexible design
• Detailed product descriptions with graphical representations for over 1000 products
• Product fit in a real-time optimization process that uses a profile log model for the product fit search and produces a full 3-D graphic
