Why Planer Fires Happen More Often Than Many Mills Think
Why Planer Fires Happen More Often Than Mills Expect
If you've been around a planer mill long enough - chances are high that you've seen your fair share of fires.
When production deadlines are tight and you've just gotta produce, the likelihood only increases.
Take this client for example, running hard at 2AM.
Operators tired.
Machines tired.
Everybody smoked from a long week of continuous operation…
Except for AVIAN. Our systems don't sleep. They don't get tired.
Luckily we had their back - capturing the first sign of flames.
The sprinklers were triggered, fire extinguished, and no one was hurt.
Zero lost time.
This one could have gone a very different way if they didn't have AVIAN.
