Wood Product Inventory Management & Production Planning Software

01 / The Problem - Mill Floor

■ The Problem

Your wood mill
runs on
log-by-log estimation.

Every log is different - diameter, taper, grade, species. Sawing patterns that maximise yield from one log may waste another. Kiln drying cycles that span days. Lumber grades assigned after drying when actual quality becomes apparent. When a customer orders a specific grade in volume, confirming availability means estimating yield from uncut inventory.

FalOrb was built for the natural variability of wood manufacturing - where raw material is never uniform and yield optimisation is the difference between profit and loss.

Pain 01

Log-to-Lumber Yield Variability

Every log produces a unique mix of dimensional lumber and grades. Actual yields vary from estimated yields based on log quality. No feedback loop from actual cutting results to future yield projections.

Pain 02

Kiln Drying Capacity and Scheduling

Green lumber must kiln-dry for days to weeks depending on species and thickness. Kiln capacity is a production bottleneck. No planning tool optimising kiln loading against lumber grade demand and drying time requirements.

Pain 03

Grade Assignment After Drying

Lumber grades determined by visual and mechanical grading after kiln drying. Finished grade mix unknown until drying is complete. Sales commitments made against estimated grade distributions that may not materialise.

Pain 04

Chain of Custody Certification

FSC and PEFC certification require chain of custody from forest to finished product. Certified and non-certified wood must be segregated physically and in records. No system-level enforcement preventing certified and non-certified material commingling.

02 / The Platform - Built for Wood Product Manufacturing

■ The Platform

One system from
raw log to
graded lumber.

FalOrb covers the full wood product lifecycle. Log inventory, cutting BOM management, kiln scheduling, grade tracking, and chain of custody documentation - all connected in one platform.

Every log is measured. Every cut is recorded. Every kiln charge is tracked. From log receipt through sawing, drying, grading, and planing to bundled and dispatched lumber products.

■ How It Works

From stockout
to signal in
under a second.

When a critical material drops below threshold, FalOrb doesn't wait for someone to notice. The system detects, alerts, acts, and records - automatically.

Detect

Stock health reclassified in real-time. Four-state system flags the risk level before it becomes a problem.

Alert

The right role receives the alert. 13 alert types ensure the signal reaches the person who can act.

Act

Transfer request routed. MRP recommendation generated. Production order adjusted. Structured workflow, not ad hoc chat.

Record

Every action logged to the immutable audit ledger. Full traceability from detection to resolution.
