OptiSaw 2018
This past Tuesday, BMC was at Optisaw — Mill Optimization & Automation Forum 2018. We joined a group of mill managers/owners, project managers, researchers and others involved in the lumber industry to learn about cutting edge technologies that are advancing the future of optimization and automation of our sawmills. The presentations ranged from modern scanning machinery, to leading trends in robotics and artificial intelligence and the emerging importance of big data as it relates to the forestry industry.
There were ten interesting presentations — fascinating topics that provided food for thought — throughout the day that generated a lot of questions and conversations. The scientific advances in mill optimization and automation is exciting and it was amazing to learn about the trending modernization tools that are available in the industry today. We were happy to have participated in this forum and we look forward to attending more events.
