METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING AN INDIVIDUAL LOG

The invention relates to a method for identifying an individual log, wherein a property is measured from an individual log and the individual log is identified on the basis of the measured property. According to the invention at least one predetermined property is measured from an individual log by a first identification device in order to determine at least one parameter substantially in connection with log sorting; the parameter determined from the individual log by the first identification device and the measured properties are stored; the same predetermined parameter as determined by the first identification device is determined from the individual log by a second identification device in connection with sawing; the parameter determined by the second identification device is compared with the stored parameter, on which basis the individual log is identified; and the properties stored from the individual log are collected after identification of the individual log and the collected data is utilized in planning the sawing of the individual log.
