Every blade, every tooth,
inspected and tracked over time.
Developed over 5 years in a working filing room at Trinity River Lumber Co. in Weaverville, CA. Patent pending.

Tracking
Every blade, every tooth
A full history, grind after grind — how long blades last, how they wear and repair, and which to retire.
Speed
~40 seconds a blade
40 seconds of filer time — review, unload, load. The scan itself takes about a minute; nobody stands and waits.
Focus
Filer judgment, magnified
We find the teeth that need a filer's judgment, and magnify them for you.
01 · The machine
Kavrik captures high-resolution imagery of every tooth, every blade, every scan. The platform serves two roles in the filing room: damage diagnostics for blades coming in from the mill and Quality Control (QC) verification for blades going back out. Deploy multiple Saw Vision machines to scale with your operation.
Where it fits
Why it matters
Watch this animation to understand how our Saw Vision platform can help your filing room.
02 · Built for the filer
Information only matters if a filer can act on it. Saw Vision shows you what matters and makes quality control something you can do at a glance.
03 · Visibility
Inspecting and tracking every blade builds a complete record of the filing room. Emailed reports surface what's actually happening — damage trends, blade lifetime, filer load — so you have the information you need to make decisions in the saw shop.
04 · Founders
Andy and Tobe Zane bring software, controls, and mechanical engineering experience built across decades — and a family with deep roots in timber and lumber.
Software & Controls
Fifteen years building software, automation, and controls for the timber and lumber industry. Completing a PhD in Computer Science at UMass Amherst, leading and collaborating on peer-reviewed research with MIT, Harvard, and Columbia researchers.
Mechanical & Manufacturing
Decades of mechanical engineering across aerospace, consumer products, timber and lumber. Has outfitted factory floors with fleets of custom-designed and manufactured machines, and runs a full machine shop — CNCs, lathes, and the tooling Kavrik is built on.
05 · Partnership
From the start, Kavrik has been built alongside the people who run the saws. The filers at Trinity River Lumber Co. in Weaverville have been instrumental in getting us this far; their feedback shaped how the system reads a blade and what it puts in front of you.
