An industry-specific solution for furniture manufacturing
Furniture manufacturing is an industry characterized by a high degree of customization, short production runs and the need for precise management of materials, technology and human resources. The production process spans many interconnected stages — from design and material cutting, through machining, edge banding, drilling, finishing and assembly, to quality control and shipping.
The competitiveness of companies in this sector depends not only on the quality of the finished products, but also on their ability to manage resources effectively, reduce production costs, and deliver short order lead times.
Through communication between TECHNOCLASS® and the CAD system, the product structure (BOM) is loaded automatically. Together with stock levels and work in progress, it forms the basis for production planning. Every part and material is placed in the schedule according to its own individual planning policy.
The machine operator communicates with the production management system through terminals of the TECHNOCLASS Terminal Data Collection System.
