Case Study: EBI Electric achieves up to 5% more usable wood with Zebra's AI-powered 3D sensors

EBI Electric boosts usable wood by up to 5% with Zebra

EBI Electric, an innovative wood scanning solutions provider, faced a challenge in the lumber manufacturing industry. Their existing linear scanners often missed defects, leading to wasted usable wood and flaws in final products. They needed a more precise and reliable vision technology to develop an advanced scanning solution.

By integrating Zebra's AltiZ 3D sensors into its new Inspector T solution, EBI Electric achieved an eightfold improvement in measurement precision. The Zebra-powered system uses AI to accurately detect wood characteristics, allowing manufacturers to optimize cuts. This resulted in up to 5% more usable wood and annual cost savings of nearly $750,000 for EBI Electric's customers.
