As their old equipment started to lag behind what was needed for the business, Bright Wood turned to USNR’s AddVantage scanners for a solution. Bright Wood purchased eight systems with the plan to replace existing scanners and to add more locations.

The AddVantage uses AI-driven defecting technology that provides industry-leading detection and classification of defects. But finding the AddVantage was just the beginning. Upgrading and refining their process has now led Bright Wood to new ventures and better product.

In his talk, “Modernizing the Plywood and LVL Industry,” Connor Easton with Raute leads off the morning. Modernization in the plywood and LVL industry is now widely considered essential in order to stay competitive in the market.

The growing shortage of labour coupled with increasing wages and insurance premiums necessitate mills to turn to automation in order to meet their output, efficiency and budgetary goals. Raute, a global manufacturer of veneer, plywood and LVL solutions, has responded to the need by offering a greater range of automated equipment that solves these pressure points and more.

He’ll share performance features of several automated lines as well as real statistics from clients who have modernized their mills.
