Simulation and optimization… from the forest to the finished product. For over 30 years, HALCO has provided software and consulting services, including: • Mill design and capital project planning studies. Typically based on our SAWSIM Sawmill Simulation program, widely recognized as the industry-standard sawmill simulation program. • Production planning optimization systems. Our WSO system develops routine production plans that maximize profit, considering market prices and sales mix constraints, and a mill’s production capabilities. WSO will “optimize your optimizers".
