Truss Systems
Cut-to-length accuracy, plate press verification, and cycle time tracking for roof and floor truss manufacturers running multi-table production lines.
The Challenge
What your floor is dealing with.
-
Cut errors don't show up until the plate press — by then the lumber is waste
-
Multi-table lines are hard to balance when you can't see throughput in real time
-
Plate placement defects are invisible until the truss fails a field inspection
What Rise Handles
The tasks we automate for Truss Systems plants.
Cut-to-Length Verification
Camera-based confirmation that cut members match the design file before they reach the table. Catch errors at the saw, not the press.
Plate Press Monitoring
Visual verification of plate placement and seating at every press cycle. Flags misaligned or inadequately pressed plates before the truss moves to the rolling table.
Table Cycle Time Tracking
Per-table throughput monitoring across your full line. See which tables are running hot, which are blocking, and where the queue is building.
Assembly Sequencing
Track member placement order against the design file. Surface sequencing errors before they're pressed in place.

Rise Products
The platform that powers this.
Truss manufacturing looks simple from the outside — lumber in, trusses out — but the production variables are significant. Every design is different, cut tolerances matter, plate placement has to be right, and a multi-table line running at volume produces these variables hundreds of times a day.
Most truss plants catch problems at the wrong point in the process: a cut error found at the press, a plate issue found by the framers on site. Rise moves the detection earlier. Cameras at the saw and the press provide automated checks against the design file at each step, so errors are caught while there’s still time to fix them without waste.
For high-volume plants, the gains compound quickly: fewer re-cuts, fewer field callbacks, and a cleaner throughput picture across every table on the line.
