In each plant, a series of prep teams, each with their respective responsibilities assemble materials, cut, and then code each board in a specific order and prepare the fresh cut lumber for the assembly stage.
In an effort to maximize efficiency, materials are organized in a manner so as to allow the computer saw technician to make as many simultaneous cuts as possible. The technician programs the computer saws for a series of exacting cuts and the raw lumber is loaded.
As the computer saws complete their cuts, each of the individual components of what will ultimately be assembled into a completed truss, is bundled and coded for assembly.
Looking much like a giant puzzle with tell-tale coding, the bundles then proceed to the assembly tables.
