Integrated Moisture Measurement Solutions

Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, SCS Forest Products was created with the acquisition of Northern Milltech Inc. by Signature Control Systems.

The combined company provides the industry's only end-to-end line of integrated moisture measurement systems and related process optimization tools for the sawmill, kiln and planer mill. The company has over 300 installations world-wide - making it the industry leader. With sales and service offices located in the US and Canada, it is ideally located to provide exceptional support and service to a rapidly growing North American and International customer base.

Improved moisture control has emerged as a critical process improvement element in the forest products industry as mills increasingly focus on profitability and yield. Adding NMI's widely adopted sawmill and planer mill digital pulse moisture measurement technology to SCS's in-kiln dielectric moisture measurement product line, offers the industry the first digitally integrated, end-to-end moisture measurement solution.

The opportunity for significant yield improvement lumber mills is substantial. The company estimates that better moisture control combined with end-to-end data integration can result in a 4% or greater improvement in moisture grade.
