Sawmilling

Logs vary; sawyers compensate; yield walks.

Each log enters the headrig with a different taper, sweep, and core. Sawyers compensate by eye; over a shift the compensation drifts and so does yield. The compounding effect at the edger and trimmer makes the loss look downstream when the cause was upstream.

Failure modes we watch for
  1. 01Log mispositioned at the headrig
  2. 02Slab thickness drift across the cant
  3. 03Post-edger reject rate climbing
  4. 04Trimmer setting mismatched to grade
Out-of-the-box detection

What our Sawmilling-specific AI agents are pre-trained to detect out of the box.

Sawmilling — Process Control
  • Microstop
  • Material jam
  • Faulty machine movement
  • Faulty material infeed
  • Incorrect spacing
  • Flawed intake
  • Stuck material
  • Machine running empty
  • Placement errors
  • Buffer over/underflows
  • Line blockage
  • Misaligned product
  • Tipped product
From camera to action

Automate your vision-based workflows in days, not months.

  1. 01

    Define critical areas

    Outline the zones that matter on each feed — the fill point, the exclusion area, the stacked output — so the agent watches exactly where loss and risk show up.

    Define critical areas
  2. 02

    Define visual triggers

    Start from our pre-trained trigger library or train your own. A single stream can run several triggers at once, each watching for a different event.

    Define visual triggers
  3. 03

    Define actions and escalations

    Set how the agent responds — a dispatcher ping, a logged event, or a closed-loop stop — and chain those into escalation paths from first alert to full intervention.
