SMARTER DECISIONS FOR HIGHER RECOVERY

Analyzers

Accurate and consistent grading is essential for efficient and profitable engineered wood production. Raute analyzers provide the reliable, real-time data needed to maximize recovery, maintain stable quality, reduce waste, and ensure that every sheet and panel is used at its highest value. With AI-enhanced accuracy, analyzing is no longer just defect detection. It is a foundation for smarter, automated decision-making throughout the production flow.

Raute’s Analyzer Portfolio

Raute offers a comprehensive portfolio of analyzers for veneer, plywood, LVL, mass timber, and lumber production. Our platform integrates visual grading, moisture measurement, strength properties, and surface feature detection, now enhanced with AI to provide more precise and consistent defect recognition. Whether used at a single process step or connected mill-wide, Raute analyzers create a consistent, AI-ready basis for fully data-driven production.

Why Raute Delivers the Best Value

Raute analyzers combine extensive knowledge of wood behavior with advanced AI-based defect recognition. AI identifies subtle, low-contrast, and grain-pattern-affected defects that traditional machine vision often misses, resulting in higher on-grade accuracy, improved material routing, and better raw material recovery.

As the only technology provider capable of delivering and optimizing the entire production process for veneer-based engineered wood products, Raute ensures that analyzer data is fully integrated with mill-level operations. This enables decisions made by analyzers to directly support a smoother production flow, higher utilization, and more predictable output across the entire mill.

Built on trusted Mecano and Metriguard technologies, now unified under the Raute brand, Raute analyzers offer proven reliability, upgrade flexibility, and long-term lifecycle value. With AI integrated into new systems and available as a modernization upgrade for many existing lines, Raute provides a clear path to higher performance and more profitable production.
