Spray Lakes Sawmills (SLS), a premier producer of softwood lumber products in Cochrane, Alberta, has fully integrated Opticom Tech video monitoring into their operations. They have a strong track record of investing in modern, dependable equipment to enhance their production capabilities.

“We’ve used other brands, but they don’t seem to last very long. With the vibrations in the sawmill, they tend to fail fairly soon,”

At SLS, the production line operator in the control center oversees up to 16 monitors, each displaying real-
time video feeds from strategically placed cameras positioned at various angles and locations throughout the facility.

“These cameras are critical to our operation—they are our eyes on the equipment. If things go wrong, and if we don’t see what’s going wrong, things get even worse. Without them, we’d get some pretty nasty pile ups.”
