Canada has a thriving forestry sector, with wood product manufacturing doubling in revenues between 2016 and 2021. However, maintaining or exceeding this progress requires optimizing safety and resource efficiency while meeting increasing sustainability and ecosystem regulations. What’s more, labor shortages and supply chain disruption can seriously hinder the forestry industry's potential to scale production.
Sync Robotics has extensive experience in forestry. In fact, our first big order was within the sector, and since then, we’ve never looked back. In more recent times, we delivered a bespoke forestry-related solution, which is a first-of-its-kind dual robot solution, using a Fanuc P-250 Paint robot for applying a weather-proofing spray membrane to CLT panels and a Fanuc R2000 with a custom engineering adhesive applicator tool for applying a weather-proofing membrane.
How Automation Can Help The Forestry Sector
Automation has a big role to play in helping the forestry sector modernize and achieve enhanced levels of productivity. We’ve built automated systems that help with wood repair, sanding, and nailing and stapling. Additionally, we’re also the chosen robot integrator for teams in the sector dealing with sawmilling, panel board manufacturing, mass timber, and even remanufacturing.
