The sawmill industry has a mix of standardized and custom processes, moderate regulatory and compliance considerations, and high physical infrastructure needs. While there is increasing use of technology and automation, the unique requirements of processing different types of timber still require human expertise. Although AI can improve efficiencies and compliance, full displacement of current jobs by AI is limited by these factors.
