SmartMill president Jean Berube has announced the signing of a new contract with Mono Serra Group to supply equipment for its Bio Serra Hardwood Mill located in Saint-Monique, Que. The contract includes the sale and installation of the unique Smart-Trim technology system in North America and a Smart Lug Loader.

“This new cutting-edge technology will allow Bio Serra Hardwood Mill to substantially increase its production efficiency by rapidly increasing its productivity and the quality of its products,” says Berube.

This new contract confirms the position of SmartMill as an industry leader, with its unique offer of innovative technology solutions for optimizing operations for its business partners, added Berube.

Smart-Trim is the result of more than four years of a research and development program involving specialists in conception and in mechanical, electrical and movement design. Smart-Trim combines three pieces of equipment in one: a Lug loader, a positioning system and a multi-saw trimmer. This unique system uses the optimizer’s solutions to index, position, and trim green or dry, rough or dressed lumber.
