Engineering services from the Silicon Forest to the sawmill
Oregon's industrial economy spans an unusual range: some of the most advanced semiconductor manufacturing in the world on one end, and wood products operations that have defined the state for a century on the other.
Willowark serves both — and everything between — with machine vision, automation, custom software, and systems integration, delivered remotely with on-site commissioning.
How manufacturing runs here
Oregon's industrial base, as we find it.
The Silicon Forest west of Portland is home to Intel's largest site and a dense ecosystem of semiconductor equipment and materials suppliers. Beyond it, Oregon leads in engineered wood products and lumber, runs significant food and beverage processing tied to Willamette Valley and Columbia Basin agriculture, and hosts precision metals and castings work with deep roots in the state.
Vision-based grading and inspection cut across Oregon's economy — from wafer-adjacent tooling to lumber grading to food packaging — and our automation and software work ties those systems into the plant.

Design and software run remotely; we travel for commissioning and installation. One line about the line is enough to start.
Common questions
Asked by teams in Oregon.
Do you travel to Oregon for on-site work?
Yes. We fly out for commissioning, integration, and installation, and handle design and support remotely between visits. Portland is an easy trip, and we batch site work to keep travel efficient.
Can machine vision help Oregon wood products operations?
Very much so. Automated grading, defect detection, and dimensional checking are proven wins in lumber and engineered wood, where consistent optical inspection outperforms manual grading at line speed.
Do you work with semiconductor equipment and materials suppliers in the Silicon Forest?
Yes, typically on the supplier side rather than inside the fab itself. Equipment and materials suppliers around Hillsboro need precision inspection, test automation, and traceability software that satisfy a very demanding customer, and that is work we engineer remotely and commission at your facility. Our home base sits in New York's own semiconductor corridor, so the expectations of that supply chain are familiar to us. We coordinate with your quality team on documentation from the start.
