“Smart manufacturing” => System integration


How a smart machines integration enables

lean manufacturing ?

“Smart manufacturing” => System integration


How a smart machines integration enables lean production ?

“Smart manufacturing” => Optimization of a natural resource


In a wood processing factory, our scanner

becomes a decision maker to allow saving

wood resource !



Manufacturing of a Windows wooden frame



How software enables wood optimization ?

Forbidden for the green quality

But acceptable for the red qualitythe shape of a window frame is

usually machined from a block of

3 laminated pieces

Each piece of wood composing

this block is defined by a precise

quality in terms of acceptable

dimensions and defects

In this example, the green,

yellow and red areas have

different qualities



The optimal cutting solution is computed for each board

-> 3% to 10% wood savings !

“Smart manufacturing” => Artificial Intelligence


Smart manufacturing :

when Artificial Intelligence increases the

performance, reliability and flexibility of our

scanners

“Smart manufacturing” => when AI is providing flexibility


Adaptation to a new wood specie by AI (Deep learning)
