Woodworking made izy now in Italy

 Thursday, September 29, 2022

Woodworking made izy, the phenomenal innovation will be introduced to the Italian market soon at the upcoming Xylexpo starting on October 12. Woodworking made easy by a standardised interface to connect all their woodworking machines, machine to machine, and machines to the customers’ Manufacturing Execution Systems. Seven world leaders in woodworking machinery, BIESSE, BÜRKLE, HOMAG, IMA SCHELLING, SCM, WEBER AND WEINIG, have worked together as a team in defining this interface. This means no individual interfaces need to be programmed and an overall control of the production process is readily put in place.

How it works:

Any technology, either cutting, sizing , edgebanding, cnc machining centres, drilling, moulding up to assembling and packaging will simply e connected on the shop floor.  

In future, the same way as you connect your printer in the office world, just as easily  you will connect a WEINIG automatic profiling machine to an SCM cnc machining center, and just as easily add a BURKLE surface finishing system to the process.

Once the machines have been installed, there will follow a straightforward testing of the interface together with the software developers, adjusting it to improve the level of performance.

It will not only be a matter of connecting the machines together, it will also involve monitoring the entire production process at a glance, identifying any weak  points and acting swiftly, taking decisions on the data provided by the system concerning the entire cycle.

Why was izy needed:

Modern woodworking companies typically connect machines from different manufacturers within their production line. To date, this has been possible, but only after time and resources was dedicated in creating a new interface for each machine operating in the production line.

To provide a joint solution that would vastly improve manufacturing processes, the 7 member  companies have put their customers at the heart of their businesses and teamed up to develop Woodworking made izy.

Now, with Woodworking made izy, woodworking companies are free to select machines and just plug in, with the same ease of connection a printer to a computer. Woodworking companies also require an easy connection of all machines to their Manufacturing Execution System controlling the flow and ensuring the effective execution of manufacturing operations to improve production performance.

Manufacturing Execution Systems help eliminate human error in manufacturing by collecting and processing accurate real-time data throughout the entire production life cycle; by monitoring and enforcing specifications, business rules, and traceability, all resulting in and process quality.
