Every tool you need to run a modern milling operation — from the log deck to the loading dock.
Track every piece of wood in your operation in real time. From raw logs on the landing to finished lumber in the shed, MillBot maintains a complete digital inventory organized by species, grade, dimension, and location.
Manage 50+ hardwood and softwood species with species-specific drying schedules, pricing, and grade rules. Track origin, stand source, and log buyer.
Automatic board foot calculations using Doyle, Scribner, or International 1/4" log rules. Real-time tally updates as logs are processed through the mill.
Assign logs and lumber packs to yard zones, bays, and stacking locations. Find any piece of inventory instantly without walking the yard.
Record MC readings at every stage — green, air-dried, kiln entry, kiln exit. Set species-specific targets and get alerts when lumber is ready to ship.
MillBot analyzes each log’s diameter, length, taper, and defects, then recommends the cut pattern that maximizes yield and matches your pending orders. Sawyers get clear instructions; you get more board feet from every log.
AI considers log geometry, sweep, crook, and defect locations to recommend optimal cant sizes and board dimensions. Typical yield improvements of 8-15%.
Prioritize cuts that fill open orders. MillBot matches log characteristics to customer requirements so you cut what sells, not what sits in the yard.
Monitor grade yields per log source, sawyer, and shift. Identify which timber tracts produce the best grades and which shifts hit target recovery rates.
Track slabs, edgings, and sawdust volumes. Identify opportunities to produce pallet stock, landscape timbers, or biomass fuel from byproducts.
Manage customer orders from quote to shipment. MillBot matches available inventory to open orders, generates pick lists, and tracks fulfillment status so nothing falls through the cracks.
When new inventory hits target moisture content and grade, MillBot automatically flags matching open orders and suggests allocation.
Generate quotes instantly based on current inventory, species pricing, and customer history. Convert accepted quotes to orders with one click.
Auto-generate packing lists, tally sheets, and bills of lading when orders ship. Include species, grade, dimensions, board feet, and piece count.
Coordinate truck loading schedules, track shipment dates, and provide customers with delivery ETAs. Integration-ready for common freight carriers.
Optimize kiln utilization with intelligent scheduling that accounts for species, thickness, initial moisture content, and target MC. Monitor drying progress and get alerts when charges are ready.
Built-in drying schedules for 50+ species following USDA Forest Products Laboratory guidelines. Customize schedules based on your kiln type and local conditions.
Log MC readings throughout the drying cycle. Track shell and core moisture differentials. Get alerts when lumber reaches target MC or if drying defects are likely.
Optimize kiln loads by grouping compatible species and thicknesses. Minimize energy costs by filling kilns to capacity with matched drying schedules.
Monitor energy consumption per kiln charge. Track drying costs per board foot by species and compare against revenue to ensure profitability on every charge.
Set and manage pricing by species, grade, thickness, and customer tier. Track market trends, compare your prices to published indices, and ensure your margins stay healthy.
Maintain price lists by species, grade, and dimension. Set customer-specific pricing tiers, volume discounts, and contract rates. Update prices across all quotes instantly.
Calculate true cost per board foot including log cost, milling labor, kiln drying, handling, and overhead. Know your margins on every species and grade you sell.
Compare your pricing against Hardwood Market Report, Random Lengths, and regional indices. Identify where you are leaving money on the table or pricing out of the market.
Set minimum margin thresholds by species and grade. Get alerts when log costs rise or market prices drop enough to squeeze your margins below target.
Coordinate outbound shipments, manage carrier relationships, and ensure every load arrives on time and matches what was ordered. From the stacking yard to the customer’s dock.
Optimize truck loads by weight and volume. Group orders by destination to reduce freight costs. Generate load diagrams for the yard crew.
Maintain a carrier database with rate sheets, insurance certificates, and performance history. Request quotes and schedule pickups directly from the platform.
Auto-generate bills of lading, tally sheets, phytosanitary certificates, and export documentation. All paperwork tied to the order and ready when the truck arrives.
Track outbound shipments from pickup to delivery. Send customers automatic notifications with tracking information and delivery confirmations.
