The Experience with Avian has been excellent, I can’t think of anything to improve. Drew Hanover and the rest of the team have been doing awesome. With your system we could identify some issues on the Planar Stetson cutter head — thank you. The alerts have been great so far, nothing to complain about.

Avian's thermal cameras help us not only with fire protection but also with optimizing the planer settings and preventive maintenance. It noticeably increases the efficiency of our processes. We’ve already prevented a fire: while processing beetle-damaged wood, a splinter got stuck. The early warning triggered by the temperature increase enabled timely intervention and prevented an open flame.

Temperature changes become immediately visible with the Avian system, allowing us to react without delay. We can now adjust our machines in real time—without shutting them down and see machine failures earlier. This kind of predictive maintenance greatly increases technical availability and minimizes unexpected downtime.
