Smart Stacker
Automated Lumber Stacking That Increases Throughput and Reduces Labor
Meet Smart Stacker
Eliminate manual stacking bottlenecks. The Woodflow Smart Stacker integrates seamlessly into your production line, automating repetitive stacking tasks so your operators focus on more valuable work.
Empower your machine operator with a stacking partner who is always ready.
Why Smart Stacker?
Manual stacking in lumber operations slows production and drives up labor costs and injuries. The Woodflow Smart Stacker delivers automation that:
Boosts throughput by eliminating slow manual stacking steps
Reduces labor costs by removing repetitive tasks
Improves safety by minimizing fatigue and injury risk
Enhances stack consistency for downstream handling
Perfect for sawmills, planer mills, millwork shops, finish lines, and sorting operations.
What Smart Stacker Does
The modular Smart Stacker automatically organizes and builds boards into neat, stable packs without operator intervention:
Handles standard and random width lumber — no manual setup
Smart sensing automatically measures and adjusts stack placement
Fully programmable HMI makes pack configuration intuitive
Adjustable for multiple board thicknesses and widths up to 48″
Stable packs with customized gap distribution for quality storage
Data collection for performance tracking and reporting
