Woodworking manufacturers across North America explored the latest technologies and trends forming the future of wood manufacturing at Stiles Machinery’s (Grand Rapids, Mich.) Manufacturing Solutions Seminar Nov. 5–6 in High Point, N.C. One of the most well-attended seminars in the semiannual event’s 30-year history, this most recent event featured topics including industry challenges, automation integration and the potential for AI to streamline wood manufacturing. Expert speakers included Matthew Cathy (CFX Products), Winifried Dell (imos), Greg Easton (Woodgrain), Tyler Nay (Trim Art) and Brett Warriner (Powell Valley Millwork).
“Coming together to share ideas, celebrate successes, and learn from one another reinforces the incredible opportunities within the woodworking industry and how Stiles can continue to support manufacturers in achieving their goals,” said Sylvain Dubuc, Southeast regional director at Stiles Machinery.
