WoodTECH 2018 – Early expressions of interest
WoodTECH 2017 was a SELL OUT. The WoodTECH 2017 tech series drew in record numbers with over 400 delegates attending the New Zealand and Australian events. Exhibition booths sold out well in advance of the series being run. In fact, it was the largest gathering yet seen of sawmilling companies, saw-doctors and sawing technology providers from around the globe in Australasia. You can check out just what was covered and who was involved in the 2017 series by clicking here. What’s being covered in 2018? New technologies, new processing systems and case studies to showcase “smart operating practices” in dry-mill and wood manufacturing operations will be profiled at the WoodTECH 2018 series this year. At this stage, we plan on covering; - Robotics and automation and changes being seen in wood manufacturing - Advances in wood scanning and board optimisation - Finger-jointing, cross cutting and ripping - Timber gluing and laminating - Timber machining - Kiln drying - Timber finishing – planning, moulding and surface coating - Material handling operations - Mill maintenance - Changes to timber standards - H&S, training and skills development Like the 2017 sawmilling event, short focussed presentations, quick-fire technology updates and a large number of exhibitions will be used to provide a unique platform for local mills and manufacturers to learn. It’s anticipated that practical troubleshooting workshops will also be set up for production and operational staff to hear how they can extract the very best performance out of their own timber manufacturing equipment. Early details on the September event can be found on the event website, www.woodtech.events. Interest in the event is already very keen. If interested in presenting (as a wood producer or tech supplier) as part of the tech series in September, please contact brent.apthorp@fiea.org.nz BEFORE Friday 16 March. Remember, if possible, case studies or more generic presentations on the technology and how implemented into wood manufacturing operations to improve the company’s operational and financial performance are preferable to product updates. Note: Information on opportunities for exhibiting will be advertised and sent out in the next couple of months. Early expressions of interest can be made directly with gordon.thomson@fiea.org.nz.
