On May 17th the Design Engineering Expo greeted the Ontario lumber market - offering millers, harvesters, and distributors access to the latest industry solutions. Countless exhibitions lined the walls of the Mississauga Convention Centre, showcasing a series of technologies and manufacturing systems; and representatives from North America’s leading forces (including Objex Unlimited, 3DX Production, and EMKA Inc) offered insights into the changing commercial landscape.They also emphasized the need for automation.
During an interview with Wood Business, Ben Hope (Technology Driver for Festo Canada) noted the value of automated strategies in the lumbar industry - calling for mills and manufacturers alike to implement smarter tech platforms. Through this, he argued, higher production standards can be achieved; and North America can reap the benefits of streamlined operations, using real-time information to improve all processes.
Hope said: “By collecting big data - identifying what is valuable and performing data analytics - companies now have the opportunity to optimize various aspects of their operations through condition monitoring, energy consumption monitoring, proactive maintenance, and more.†Automation leads to improvement.
Connexus Industries has long since embraced this philosophy, providing our customers with the Sense-A-Cut III. This bandsaw deviation control system delivers continuous data feeds to monitor, assess, and improve saw deflections. It allows mills to customize their cutting processes - utilizing multiple sensor inputs and increased speed feeds to enhance accuracy.
Through this, the lumber industry can continue to grow: with the Sense-A-Cut III quickly detecting potential issues and allowing operators to create more efficient responses. This greatly improves production yields and minimizes error, ensuring sustainable sales.
