noax Industrial PCs Control the Machines and the Measurement of Tree Trunks at One of the Largest, Private Suppliers of Bark Removal Services in Germany

Overview

While the tree is going through the revolving rotors, made up of star-shaped knives inside the machine that remove the bark, sensors determine its size. With the help of a serial interface, a programmable logic control transmits data to a noax tough industrial PC which is firmly mounted inside, on the ceiling of the cab. This allows the driver to see through all windows, operate all buttons and levers, observe the gripping arm, and easily recognize information on the vehicle IPC and other indicators. The acquired measurements, such as length of the trunk and median diameter, are not only helpful in determining how Weiss will bill its customers, but also for determining future processing steps of raw wood, particularly transportation and milling.
