DROUIN invests in Raute panel repairing technology for hardwood production

DROUIN SAS in France has selected Raute’s Panel Repairing Line R7 for its production of poplar and okoume panels. The line will include Visual Analyzer R7 with AI-enhanced defect detection.

For DROUIN, maintaining the quality of its finished panels places high demands on the repairing process. The new technology uses visual analysis to identify defects and guide repair decisions, supporting accurate repairing while protecting panel value.

A special feature of the solution is its ability to support repairs on panel surfaces with different colors. The color camera measures the color of the panel surface, enabling the system to select a matching repair compound for the individual panel.

The investment marks another application of Raute’s panel repairing technology in hardwood production and continues the long-standing cooperation between DROUIN and Raute.
