@MillerEdgeInc changing the way edges in our industry is done. Great company & great products.

Episode Summary

In this episode segment from The Fence Podcast, Brian T. Frederiksen visits Miller Edge and speaks with Flossy about the company’s latest product updates and its contractor-first approach to innovation. Flossy explains that Miller Edge actively listens to feedback from installers in the field and works quickly to turn suggestions into real product changes. One example is the updated “build in the field” edge, which now uses an aluminum mounting channel instead of the previously used lightweight PVC version, giving contractors a more durable and familiar option while still keeping installation simple and flexible. The conversation also highlights a new barrier arm product that combines an LED light strip with an integrated edge sensor. As the gate moves, the light changes to red and the built-in micro edge sensor provides added safety and recognition. Brian reacts with enthusiasm to the all-in-one design, joking that it feels like “AI,” while Flossy emphasizes that the unit is a smart integrated solution. The segment closes with Miller Edge’s contact details, encouraging listeners to learn more through the company’s website or phone line.

All right, we're over at Miller with Flossy. How are you? Good. How are you doing today? Good. Good. I know things are starting to wind down, but you've got some really cool exciting stuff to show everybody. Uh you guys have made some innovations in the industry, and we're going to be showing some people some of those. Yeah. We really we want to be responsive to contractors. So, whenever they come up with a suggestion, we try to implement it as quick as we can. Yeah. So, what you're saying is you listen. Is that what it is? You don't just write it down on a tablet and then throw it in the drawer. you actually actually go and make the actual changes on it. That's awesome. Cuz they're actually in the field every day installing. What a great concept. Yeah. You know, right. So, what do you got going on? Show Show us. So, we have our our new build in the field edge. Of course, we've been manufacturing this for years. But one of the comments from contractors is that they didn't like we had a a lightweight PVC mounting channel and they didn't like it. They they like our aluminum channel that is typically used with our finished edges. So, we changed the top mounting surface for this do-it-yourself build in the field. So, you can use the aluminum mounting channel now. And there's plenty of room in there for the screw head. And it still comes with the packet of of little pins for all the different types of termination you might need. And you just cap it off and you're done. That's easy to mount. Uh your your your edges have always been easy to put on. I think we all know it's it's like the go-to for everybody when they're when they're putting these on. So, we try. Yeah. If you odds are if you see an edge on a gate, it's probably yours. Well, thanks. We do try and make them easy to install, right? So, you got some other stuff going on over here. We're going to walk over. I know you got your booth's been busy for a couple days, so we're going to have to go interrupt a little bit. So, tell me about this light. Okay. Let me just put that down. So, over here we have a barrier arm. And this incorporates both an LED light strip and it's integral to it is actually an edge sensor. So as the gate is coming down, it turns red. So you have that optical recognition, but there's also the built-in micro edge sensor. Whoa. So hold up, hold up. Are you telling me that this is a light with an edge built into it? Right. It's all one unit. It's all one integrated unit. I have a little handheld sample right here where you have the clear channel that mounts to the barrier. Look at that. Well, this might be the next best thing next to AI, right? Look at this. Right. It is AI. It's smart AI. So, tell me, how do people find out more about this? Uh they can just go to our website at milleredge.com or they can give us a call at 1 80022 edge. That's amazing 3343. That's amazing. Thanks for showing us. All right. Thanks so much, Brian.
