JD Irving Orders MiCROTEC CT Log
JD Irving, Ltd., a producer of maple, birch and poplar wood products, headquartered in Saint John, New Brunswick, Can., continues its commitment to sustainability and innovation with the purchase of a MiCROTEC CT Log for installation at its operation in St. Leonard, New Brunswick, Can.
MiCROTEC’s CT Log computed tomography scanner will allow JD Irving to scan and digitally reconstruct the internal features of their logs in 3D. Delivering the optimal cutting solution in real time, this technology is consistent with JD Irving’s mission to ensure the use of 100% of every tree. The computed tomography scanner provides a complete reconstruction of the internal features of the logs, allowing the logs to be graded and sorted by quality and optimization.
The CT Log solution provides quality grading and virtual grading information in addition to the full 3D log description.
Integrated with MiCROTEC’s Maxicut Pro, Winlog, and MiCROTEC Connect, the CT Log communicates with the Logeye Stereo, providing the headrig operator the exact degree of log rotation to provide maximum value. Working with the CT Log, MiCROTEC’s Maxicut software optimizes cutting patterns based on value.

Irving Ltd.; Jody Gallant, Business Improvement Manager, J.D. Irving Ltd.
The newest investment is part of JD Irving’s continued partnership with MiCROTEC. Beginning in 2014 with a Lucidyne scanner installation at the Dixfield, Me. location, JD Irving has since installed Lucidyne scanners at the Doaktown and Kedgwick, New Brunswick locations, with another Wanescan installation at the Dixfield facility in 2023. Their recent investment of the CT Log is accompanied by a commitment of five MiCROTEC Logeye Stereos, which execute 360° scans during rolling, adding to the information gained before the log is sawn.
The CT Log solution and Logeye Stereo applications will be installed early 2024.
