The VisionTally Difference

Why lumber operations choose VisionTallyHD

Since 2008, VisionTally has set the standard for lumber tally accuracy, replacing guesswork and manual errors with precise, automated measurement.

Today, VisionTallyHD builds on that legacy with faster scans, advanced wane detection, and superior dark-lumber performance—helping you save time, cut costs, and strengthen customer trust.

Actual Width and Length

VisionTally is the only end-tally device that measures both actual board width and actual board length.

No Special Bundle Prep

No special lighting, length marks, bundle references, or precise bundle placement required.

Wane and Taper Visibility

Lasers measure into bundle openings to better capture the full width of irregular boards that manual tallies and image-only systems may measure short.

Deeper Bundle Data

An average bundle scan captures over 25,000 camera images and 100,000 length measurements in under one minute.

Complete Workflow

BundleQuery, bundle tags, weight tracking, reports, exports, and inventory system integration are part of the system.

NHLA Certified

The only device ever certified by the NHLA Tally Machine Certification Program.
Unmatched Accuracy

Actual measurements, not nominal assumptions

Accurate board footage starts with accurate dimensions. VisionTallyHD is engineered around one goal: producing an accurate tally your team and your customers can trust.

Width and length are both measured Cameras, laser line generators, and precision lidars work together to measure the actual dimensions of every board in the bundle.
Data from across the bundle The acquisition heads move over the bundle, collecting detailed measurement data instead of relying on a single distant image.
Wane and taper captured Laser measurement reaches through openings to see irregular board conditions that are often undermeasured manually and by other systems.
Distance and orientation tolerant VisionTally measures distance directly, so accuracy is not dependent on exact bundle position or orientation or use of a reference.

Production Ready

Built to reduce labor and keep production moving

VisionTally is designed for the way lumber is actually handled: dusty environments, imperfect bundle conditions, color variations, inconsistent lighting, and demanding production schedules.

Less manual tally work Automation helps reduce labor needs while replacing manual measurement errors with consistent scan results.
Simple operation VisionTally does not require special lighting, length marks, references, or unusual bundle handling.
Reliable in sawmill conditions The system has proven itself in dirty lumber-yard environments, cold temperatures, and daily production use.
Active monitoring and support VisionTally monitors components, validates calibration, and sends system diagnostic data to the support team for ongoing monitoring and remote service.

Models

Choose the configuration that fits your line

Choose a VisionTally model to match your scan speed and measurement needs, with static scanning platforms or chain-feed handling options to suit your floor space and workflow.

High Speed

Two-ended scanning in under one minute for high-throughput operations.

Standard

Two-ended scanning in under two minutes with the same actual-width and actual-length measurement foundation.

Even End

A lower-cost actual-width system for even-end applications. Short boards can be counted quickly or entered manually.

Customization and Integration

A tally system that fits the rest of your operation

Many operations use VisionTally as the measurement source and push results directly into the systems they already depend on for inventory, production, and customer documentation.

Inventory system integration Send tally data to your existing inventory software so scan results become part of your normal workflow.
Custom fields and screens Match VisionTally inputs and outputs to your business practices and inventory software requirements.
Tags, reports, and exports Print customized bundle tags, produce tally reports, and export results in formats your team can use.
Scale and PLC integration Track bundle weight through scale integration and coordinate chain-feed movement through PLC integration where needed.
