Mercer

“With tScale, we are digitizing our logistics processes and optimizing efficiency in the raw material delivery process. The automated measurement enables faster truck handling while increasing occupational safety for our employees. Working with Dralle has been invaluable, and we look forward to expanding the use of this technology to other forms of transport and materials.”

Adolf Koppensteiner, COO of Mercer.

Forst Brandenburg

"Since 2010, the deployment of sScale helped to significantly standardise and simplify the lumber stacks measuring and the provision of data for the district managers of the state-owned Forst Brandenburg. Almost 100% of the fixed-length assortments can be calibrated by using 4 sScale systems. Thus, sScale provides timely, accurate and transparently documented measuring results and logistic data for the employees as well as for the customers of the timber industry. In addition, the mutual trust in the valuation results has become increasingly positive in recent years."

Thilo Noack – Head of Sustainability Landesbetrieb

Bayerische Staatsforsten

"Bavarian State Forests have been using the sScale photo-optical process made by Dralle since 2007. Meanwhile, all 8 measuring units are connected via an interface to our SAP operating system. Approximately 1,000,000 solid cubic meters are measured in 25,000 individual lumber stacks. For years, sScale has provided geo-data, photo documents and detailed lumber stack descriptions day after day, enabling us to significantly reduce cycle times in the logistics process. Because of their advantages, photo-optical processes are becoming increasingly important to all those involved in the timber supply chain and, sooner or later, they will become indispensable in forestry and in the timber industry."

Martin Müller – Head of Logistics

ThüringForst

"Since its introduction in 2009, sScale has become an important part of the timber logistic process. It led to a considerable relief of the district managers on site and to an acceleration of the provisioning of operational data. The individual work steps of the lumber stacks measuring as well as all downstream data management processes are now processed promptly and efficiently, thanks to the automated integration of sScale into the in-house forestry IT. The photo-optical measurement survey has replaced the very complex procedures of on-site timber measuring in the forests and replaced them with an objective, traceable and automatable process."

Reasons to choose a measuring solutions from Dralle

Dralle is a pioneer in trusted optical measurement technology for the industry.

With more than 20 years of proven practice and extensive knowledge and expertise from the industry, Dralle continuously optimize and develop their products to be the best in the industry.

sScale is the first optical measurement tool on the market to provide fast, accurate, and convenient log stack measurements.

The tScale is the first transport portal scale for wood load measuring that is fully automated and digitized. Soon, Dralle expect the tScale to be expanded to include both wood chips and roundwood on trains, as well as roundwood on trucks.

With the development of mScale, Dralle gives you access to real-time measurement data to be synced with sScale. It connects with the server and transmits directly to the back end for fast and automated calculation of your wood stacks.

Dralle has already received certifications for their products. The sScale has been certified numerous times with flying colours by the National German Metrology Institute (the PTB), which, apart from being a must-have certification in the German forest industry. Now tScale is also certified by the PTB in Germany.
