Automated lumber cutting and delivery system

A system for automated production of truss components comprising:

• a saw for automated cutting of pieces of lumber to form truss components;
• a conveyor for transporting the truss components toward a first table configured for assembling the truss components into a number of trusses;
• a controller being in communication with the saw and configured to control operation of the saw, the controller being configured to receive information regarding the number of trusses to be produced and types of truss components needed for each truss to be produced, to select which of the first table and a second table a particular one of the first truss and the second truss is to be formed upon, to create instructions for the saw to cut the lumber to produce truss components for at least two of said number of trusses, the conveyor being configured to transport the truss components toward the first table and the second table and the controller is configured to control the conveyor for selectively transporting truss components from the saw to the first table for forming a first truss of said at least two of said number of trusses and to the second table for forming a second truss of said at least two of said number of trusses.
