Wondering how you can optimize your sawmilling operations to get the most out of every piece of wood? Join us at OptiSaw 2023 on March 17!

Hosted by CFI magazine, OptiSaw Mill Optimization and Automation Forum is headed to Quebec City for the first time. We’ve lined up speakers from industry-leading researchers and manufacturers to explain their cutting-edge sawmilling technologies and processes, share the results of case studies and provide critical insight into the future of sawmilling.

In just one day of sessions, you will come away with insight into the sawmilling of tomorrow.

Some of the day’s sessions will feature:
  • Sawmill of the future: BID is leading the way in several areas related to Industry 4.0: IIoT, augmented reality, robotics, artificial intelligence, and designing the next generation of sawmills. BID will share their vision of the sawmill of the future: a sawmill that will be powered by a combination of cutting-edge technologies and an inspired workforce. Experts will introduce innovative technologies and their individual impact on operations, and how they all integrate to build the sawmill of the future.
  • Scanners with AI reinforcement: Finnos Oy’s Jyri Smagin will walk the audience through the sawmill, with its different scanners at various locations, and show how the latest technology enables the scanners to connect with each other via fingerprint technology. He will demonstrate how applying AI optimization to the whole raw material flow linked by fingerprint can increase fibre recovery and yield significantly.
And more to come!

Seats are limited and open only to sawmill management and owners, process engineers, continual improvement managers, optimization staff, researchers and design consultants.

Register before February 10 for our early-bird rate of $169.

All sessions in English or French will include simultaneous-interpretation services.
