Metal part fabrication is a cornerstone of manufacturing, providing essential components for the biggest industries in the world. While traditional automation and PLC systems have optimized processes, a new wave of innovation is redefining the landscape and improving industrial process control.

Imagine having a helper who can think, learn, and act on your behalf to accomplish tasks. This helper doesn’t tire, works with incredible speed, and can adapt to new situations. That’s essentially what an AI agent is—a digital entity designed to perceive its environment, make decisions, and take action to achieve specific goals.

AI vision systems can now perform tasks that were previously manageable only by human operators — and often with greater accuracy. This technology enables sawmills to gain deeper insights into their processes, creating numerous opportunities for automation and optimization. Here’s how it’s being done …

Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Cory Elliott from Crow Engineering. Cory is a seasoned leader in the forest and wood products industry with over 30 years of experience.
