What Customers Are Saying about Saw-ADD

(Mill Manager):
“I know it will pay for itself just from being
able to reduce the target size by 1/32 as it has allowed us to do.”

Tim (Head Filer):
“I don’t know how you came up with the
idea but it cuts more lumber, better
lumber, and we spend less time benching
saws.”

Joel (Head Filer):
“The saws are coming back in good shape so I am not having to play catch up and will now have time to experiment with the saws.”

(Corporate Optimizing Specialist)
The numbers are showing not just savings from reduction in target size but also by reduction in unscheduled saw changes by a factor of five and we have not had a saw wreck since Saw-ADD was installed.

The numbers collected from a SiCam system show the payback is 3 months on a machine that utilizes the bandsaws in 100% of the solutions.

(Mill Manager with ELI)
We have seen an increase of 5 to 10% from increased average speeds and Saw-ADD has saved on saw wrecks.

(Mill Manager)
Saw-ADD shows us so much of what is going on with the machine i.e. log moving in the cut due to feed system or anvil alignment.

Bob (Operator):
“I think you’ve accomplished something
that I thought you would never
accomplish--that is, setting up a program
that can run like it does. You have made
me obsolete now. Congratulations. I’ll have to take this as a sign...Time for me to move
on.”
