Quality and Precision: Our Non-Negotiable Standard
Rigorous quality control processes and adherence to industry-leading certifications.
Integrated Quality Management System
Quality at Northern Industrial, LLC is not a final check; it is an integrated process that begins in the log yard and continues through every stage of milling, drying, and finishing. Our Quality Management System (QMS) is designed to ensure **dimensional accuracy**, **consistent grading**, and **optimal moisture content** for every product we ship.
We utilize advanced scanning and measurement technology, coupled with highly trained quality control personnel, to monitor production in real-time. This proactive approach allows us to identify and correct deviations immediately, guaranteeing that our industrial wood products meet the precise specifications required by our customers.
Key Quality Control Points:
- **Log Scaling & Grading:** Initial assessment of raw material quality and volume.
- **Sawing Optimization:** Computer-controlled systems maximize yield and cut accuracy.
- **Kiln Drying:** Continuous monitoring of temperature and humidity to achieve target moisture content (MC).
- **Final Grading & Inspection:** Manual and automated checks for grade, finish, and dimensional tolerance before packaging.
