As a part of R&D team, I worked on layout optimization of a veneer peeling line R3 by Raute. The aim of the research project was to streamline installation and reduce the people count necessary for the setup.
Due to a non-disclosure agreement, I cannot go in details about the work. However, working on a line layout has given quite good understanding of the underlying processes of veneer peeling, critical elements of the system and its underlying modules. The proposed solution helped streamline the installation and reduced the need in skilled workers for the setup of the equipment.
