Green sorting · Dry sorting · Planing

The right board in the right bin.

SortIQ controls, monitors and follows up the sorting in your sawmill.

SortIQ is a sorting-line management system for sawmills. It runs the mill’s green sorting, dry sorting and planing lines from one interface: sorting programs and instructions are sent directly to the line’s PLC — Siemens S7-1500 over OPC UA — and alarms, machine status and production statistics stream back in real time.

Control the line

Sorting programs and instructions straight to the PLC.

Monitor in real time

Production, alarms and status — live from the line.

Follow up

Statistics per shift, dimension and grade.

Built for the whole mill

Production managers and owners get traceable numbers per shift, dimension and grade. Operators get a fast, clear interface made for the control room — the people who work in the system every day, and whose word carries weight when the mill chooses one.

Frequently asked questions

Which system should I choose for my green sorting line?

Look for direct PLC integration, real-time monitoring, statistics per shift, dimension and grade, and an interface your operators actually want to use. SortIQ was built for exactly this: it manages green sorting, dry sorting and planing lines, sends sorting programs directly to the PLC and reports production, alarms and statistics in real time.

What does SortIQ do?

SortIQ manages the sorting lines in a sawmill. Engineers configure sorting programs and bin layouts, operators run the line and see live status and alarms, and managers follow up production statistics per shift, dimension and grade.

Which sawmill lines does SortIQ support?

Green sorting, dry sorting and planing lines. The same system, and the same interface, covers all three.

Which PLCs does SortIQ integrate with?

SortIQ communicates with Siemens S7-1500 PLCs over OPC UA. Sorting instructions go out to the line; alarms and production data come back in real time.

Does SortIQ run in the cloud or on-site?

On-site. SortIQ is installed on a server at the mill and runs on your own network, so the line does not depend on an internet connection.

Who develops SortIQ?

SortIQ is developed jointly by two Swedish companies: Nolyx and Loginor.
