Chain Tally

Replace your dot tally book with a wireless handheld that is specifically designed for chain operations. The Chain Tally bridges the gap between the back office and the front line. The Chain Tally is the ideal tool for Green Chain Production of Vendor/Mill Loads. Bundles requiring Surface Measure, Grade and Piece Counts are quickly tallied using the lumber enhanced keyboard. Chain operations are production speed reliant allowing graders to quickly accelerate and improve their performance levels.

The unit maintains accurate tally information as the lumber moves across the chain. As graders tally loads, you can be filling green lumber orders. The Chain Tally maintains a record for each board tallied and the customer order to which it is directed. The grader is alerted when the load order has been filled.

While multiple loads are tallied, the Chain Tally maintains the daily production totals by species, grade and BFT used in the reporting at the end of each grading period.

When used with the Yardmaster Lumber System, data to build load/bundle inventories (surface measure/grade/piece count tally) can be sent using a wireless network (with access point) or a direct connection to a host computer. The WiFi send option allows all Lumber System users instant real-time updates to inventory levels.

Chain Tally Export

Replace your Dot Tally Book. Now you can tally multiple length/width bundles while on the chain. The Chain Tally Export is specifically designed for length/width piece count Chain Tally Export operations. Save time and money with increased production and profits. The unit maintains accurate tally information as the lumber moves across the chain. As a grader tallies lumber, you can be filling green/dry lumber orders. The Chain Tally Export maintains a record for each board tallied and the customer order to which it is directed. The grader is alerted when a customer's load has been filled.

Two digit lengths and widths are easily entered with one keystroke allowing graders to tally with one handed operation. While multiple loads are being tallied, the Chain Tally Export maintains a daily production total by species, grade and BFT. From that you print a detailed production report.

End Tally

The End Tally allows a user to perform a Length/Width Bundle Tally. The ergonomic design increases efficiency and speed, ultimately increasing a company's production, accuracy, and profit.

The End Tally allows you to follow step-by-step prompting. The flexible system setup routine allows you to fine tune your particular needs. Board footage calculations and length/width piece count information is instantly updated as the tally is performed.

While bundles and/or loads are tallied, the End Tally provides bundle recaps, board footage totals, dry to green board foot conversions and several detailed reports. Bundles can be reviewed for accuracy, tallies printed or sent wirelessly to a host computer.

The End Tally has a detailed, complete report printing system. You can print selected bundles/loads from a complete listing. Reports are by species, grade, thickness, length, total board piece count and board footage for both dry and green tallies. Bundles are grouped into a shipment listing. Tally reports are produced for each customer's bundle, detailing each bundle and it's contents.

Logscaler

The Logscaler is the ideal tool for scaling load/logs from your tracts and vendor purchased loads. Loads are quickly scaled via the enhanced expanded numeric keyboard. Log operations are constantly scaling loads and pricing logs (log buyers, etc.) The Logscaler allows scalers to easily accelerate and improve their performance levels and profitability.

Data may be transmitted to a PC via direct cable connection or via a wireless network. The Logscaler is the fastest and most efficient method to scale and record tract or purchased vendor loads. As the Logscaler's information is passed through the access point, the load/logs are automatically moved into inventory with a real-time update.

Quickly add and choose a vendor, trucker, inspector, specie, grade and/or price. Edit a log, a yard and other load details while working. Easily set up the Logscaler to operate and supply any log scaling needs. The Logscaler can operate as a stand-alone device and when connected to an optional printer, can print Load-Log scale tickets from the report menu

The Logscaler transfers data to build log and load inventories when using the Yardmaster Log System. The WiFi send option gives all log system users instant real-time updates to inventory levels and processes.

Palletrax

PalleTrax is the most advanced system on today's market. It is a very lightweight, environmentally tough microcomputer designed for today's rapid pace Pallet industry. PalleTrax is designed to provide the pallet manufacturing industry with critical information encompassing all areas of order tracking, employee production and overall facility efficiency.

The PalleTrax handheld data collector interfaces with the Windows-based Yardmaster Pallet System. Yardmaster provides managers the ability to establish accurate inventory control from purchased dimension loads to the final shipment of pallets.

Employee production, order tracking and efficiency analysis is accomplished through bar coding technology and scanning devices. As each employee completes the building of a pallet, a bar code label is attached to the unit. Important information such as pallet type, order number, production line, employee ID and date/time are captured through fixed bar code scanners or the versatile PalleTrax handheld.

Timber Cruiser

The Timber Cruiser is an environmentally sealed handheld computer designed to function in the field (independently of an office PC) and provide detailed stand evaluation results immediately. The Timber Cruiser allows the forester to grade each tree or log cruised and identify a product type by individual tree or overall species. With the integrated 5 megapixel color camera, the forester can document specific trees, hazards or any element of interest. The unit offers, with just one key stroke, the capability of recording detailed plot and stand notes with immediate plot footage totals. The integrated GPS plots points used to overlay the stand onto a topographic map.

Yard Tally

The Yard Tally is a must for total yard management. The Yard Tally is the ideal tool for handling yard activities such as changing yard locations or loading kilns. It is a comprehensive utility program essential for the wireless real-time movement and processing of your lumber packs. It gives users a complete lumber tally/process solution.

Details of all bundle processes can be uploaded to a PC running the Yardmaster Lumber System. The bundle information can be transferred via direct cable connection to a PC or via a wireless network. The wireless Yard Tally is the fastest and most efficient method to transfer bundle processes and movements to the Lumber System. The Yard Tally transmits your information to the host Yardmaster Lumber System and allows real-time update to inventory levels for all users to view.
