Here's what our customers say
Robert Cecil put an optimizer on a double quad for us first, and then later, one on our existing bucking line. We have purchased a third and that is on a board edger. With very little input from us, Robert was able to come in and make the optimizer perform exactly as we expected it. And after a little time when we wanted something extra, one telephone call, and he was able to remotely make changes to solve a new problem. I would definitely recommend Robert to anyone wanting sawmill optimization.

Here's what our customers say
Robert worked on a headrig carriage optimization system for us, which he is specialized in. We had an older Inovec system that we ended up updating and going to the Cecil Optimization and using JoeScan for the scan heads.Everything ended up going really smoothly. We are trying to optimize as best as possible and we are getting the best radius in view. Robert’s great! He is very concise and he knows what he is doing very well. We had no issues with that at all. Ever since we’ve done the upgrade, many times if we had any questions or if we wanted to work on anything, Robert was very responsive.
Without any hesitation, I would recommend others to work with Robert Cecil!
Mike Engel | President at WKO Inc.
Here's what our customers say
Robert has optimized quite a bit of systems for our mill, and has always been responsive anytime we call him during hours or after hours. Cecil Company optimized all three of our edgers at the mill: two 4” gang edgers and one 2” board edger. I’ve been working with Robert for the past 11 years now.
When it comes to scanning, we’re looking for our vendors to help us to make sure the project comes off on time, so the mill starts when it’s supposed to. We get what we were guaranteed from the equipment. That did happen when working with Robert. As we operate the machinery through the years, anytime anything is down for us, he makes time for us; gets us back on track. I would definitely recommend anyone looking to startup sawmill equipment to work with Robert.
