Streamlining Production with RemaSawco

Background

Westas is one of Finland’s leading sawmill companies, known for its strong commitment to efficiency and product quality. As market demands for traceability and sustainable processing continue to rise, Westas sought to modernize its operations through digital transformation – and partnered with RemaSawco to make it happen.

The challenge

To extract the full value from each log, Westas needed a solution that would:

  • Automate measurements and sorting
  • Ensure full traceability throughout the production line
  • Reduce reliance on manual handling
  • Provide smarter, real-time decision support

Previous systems had limitations in adaptability and responsiveness, making it difficult to meet growing operational expectations.

The solution

In close collaboration with RemaSawco, Westas implemented an integrated measurement and optimization solution tailored for their needs. The system includes:

  • Automatic length and dimension measurement
  • AI-powered optimization for log sorting
  • End-to-end real-time traceability
  • User-friendly interfaces for operators and management

Installation was completed with minimal disruption and adapted to fit seamlessly into Westas' existing production environment.

  • Reduced sorting deviations
  • Minimized waste and increased value recovery
  • Fewer interruptions and improved data accuracy

Jari Virtanen from Westas reflects on the collaboration:
“RemaSawco has delivered a solution that meets both our technical standards and our ambition to lead the industry. The ability to track each log in real time has been a real game-changer.”
