WoodTECH News Issue 3 now out

Friday 27 Apr 2018

 
The latest update for Australasia's sawmilling and wood manufacturing community, WoodTECH News ( www.woodtech.events) has just been published. It’s the third issue that has gone out. It provides the very latest updates on breaking news, tech developments, research results, reports, case studies and links relevant to sawmilling, wood manufacturing and wood products companies throughout Australasia.

It’s been designed to complement the annual technology events being run by the Forest Industry Engineering Association (FIEA) in New Zealand and Australia. It also adds to the weekly updates being provided to forestry and wood products companies through the region’s two leading industry e-newsletters, Friday Offcuts and WoodWeek.

It was suggested by industry at recent WoodTECH events that something needed to be urgently done to improve communication and networking for all those working on and in wood processing in the region. This need became even more apparent when the activities of the two saw-doctors associations petered out over recent years.

We’ve had a great response since we’ve launched the new service at the end of last year. The concept of improving communication between companies and sites and incorporating both managerial and production staff along with some of the key suppliers has really struck a chord. News items continue to flood in and readership has already climbed to over 1000 working directly within the industry throughout this region.

Since the last issue was sent out, some 12 stories have been added and formed part of the latest issue sent out. If interested, check out the latest issue and latest postings on recent mill and company acquisitions, new technologies being used in the mill including robotics and a new camera system being trialled on a log line to dramatically cut maintenance time …. at www.woodtech.events

If not already on the list (it’s free), you can subscribe directly on the website. Finally, contributions, recommendations, leads and advice on what you’d like added to this site and new service is certainly welcomed.
