In a business where precision, speed, and resource optimisation are critical, Wesbeam’s ability to deliver custom-cut LVL products at scale relies on more than machinery—it relies on smart software. Enter SCIE: an advanced, in-house developed system that transforms how cutting decisions are made at Distribution Centres (DC’s) across the country.
Built specifically to meet the demands of Wesbeam’s LVL and I-joist operations, SCIE is a cutting plan optimisation engine that brings together automation, operational logic, and business intelligence, all delivered through an intuitive, tablet-based interface for operators.
Smart Instructions That Guide Every Move
SCIE generates detailed, job-specific cutting plans that tell forklift operators exactly where to retrieve material and how to handle offcuts. By providing real-time instructions directly to each operator’s tablet, SCIE helps to:
- Maximise efficiency in picking and cutting;
- Reduce human error in material selection; and
- Ensures consistent reuse of offcuts for future production.

This level of control improves operator productivity and drives down time.
At Wesbeam, SCIE is more than just smart software, it’s a key part of how we deliver accuracy, speed, and value to every customer.
