Optimizing and Ensuring Production Traceability
The Dubot sawmill uses EFFECTO OnSite to organize its production based on customer orders. Orders are grouped according to wood characteristics, allowing work to be efficiently distributed across the three units and reducing downtime caused by adjustments.
The serialized inventory module strengthens traceability at every stage. The team knows in real time what is being produced and the status of each order, making it easier to inform customers and secure shipments. With all data centralized, operations remain smooth even when an employee is absent.
Key Benefits
• Better distribution of production across units
• Fewer stoppages due to adjustments
• Complete, real‑time traceability

Simplifying operator onboarding and performance monitoring

Optimizing blade maintenance
In addition to optimizing machine settings, we’ve also saved a lot of time on tool maintenance.
Plus the grinders can check the curves themselves to know when they have work to do. And we can better anticipate the time for tool changes and plan maintenance accordingly. To give you an example, we’ve doubled the lifespan of our cutting tools.
Making it easier to integrate operators and monitor their performance
EFFECTO InSite dashboards help us better integrate new operators by fine-tuning their training and supporting them as they move ahead.
Key performance indicators are permanently on display at each station. This gives the supervisory team an objective look at the work being done. With productivity, quality, and downtime indicators, they can measure the level of a new employee’s integration compared to the rest of the team. With this information, the trainer can follow up with modifications or provide additional training.
The introduction of dashboards has brought about a dramatic change in our plant. I believe that how this is perceived by employees depends on your corporate culture. No one ever feels judged here. Our operators know that it’s a tool for improvement and not for punishment. Employees benefit because the data also helps justify investments for streamlining operations and improving the quality of our finished products.
