Meet Northwood’s Software Powerhouse: David Gibson & Jordan Bray Behind every Northwood machine is a powerhouse of software, and these two are key players in making it all happen. ?? David Gibson has been with Northwood for over two years, playing a vital role in maintaining and evolving our software. He’s been instrumental in advancing Northwood Live, introducing features like calendar views, job completion signals, and an enhanced dashboard—making machine tracking smoother than ever. ?? Jordan Bray has been with Northwood for 12 years, inheriting and expanding the software foundation built by two of Northwood’s key players, Richard Roberts and Jeff Rizzo. He rewrote the toolpathing for StoneVision SawJet, incorporating AI-driven automation long before AI was a buzzword. His updates have made toolpathing as simple as a one-click operation. Jordan also built CNC Console from the ground up, unifying all Northwood machines under a single software suite. Alongside the rest of our software team, David and Jordan continue to refine CNC Console, StoneVision, Northwood Live, and integrations with cameras and Zoller—bringing cutting-edge tech to Northwood machines. At Northwood, we are committed to innovation and pushing the limits of what’s possible. Our software team plays a vital role in ensuring our machines remain at the forefront of the industry, and we’re just getting started. #NorthwoodMachine #CNCSoftware #MeetTheTeam #InnovationInAction

Push Limits. Break Barriers. Start Now with Northwood. ??Are you ready to take your shop to the next level? Erik Petersen, owner of Sierra Vista Tile and Granite, was in your shoes just four years ago. Like many fabricators, he faced the challenge of growing his business, taking on more projects, and still delivering the precision and quality his customers expected. He found the solution by investing in Northwood Machines—technology built to work as hard as he does. In January 2019, Erik took the leap with a Raptor SawJet. That decision didn’t just make his shop more efficient—it gave him the confidence to scale. By July 2020, he added an NW138 and Zoller Pre-Setter, and by 2023, he expanded again with a UFC 138 to keep up with demand. Today, Erik’s thriving business serves Cochise County, Santa Cruz County, and Pima County, including Tucson. From high-end homes to commercial builds, his success proves that the right tools and technology can transform your shop. Is Erik’s story the only one we have? Absolutely not. Want to hear more?
