Furniture & Woodworking Solutions
The furniture industry frequently faces customized production demands with multiple orders and specifications. MES enables order-to-work-order splitting, process tracking, WIP visibility and quality control, combined with WMS for panel and WIP warehouse management to effectively improve production efficiency and on-time delivery.
Industry Challenges
Many custom orders with varying specifications and dimensions make scheduling and material preparation complex
Diverse materials including panels and hardware make warehouse management and kitting error-prone
Long process flows (cutting, edgebanding, drilling, assembly) make tracking difficult
High delivery pressure with difficulty tracking production progress in real time
Solution Overview
MES drives order splitting and process tracking; WMS manages panel-to-finished-goods warehouse operations
MES Order Splitting
Automatically splits customer orders into production work orders, scheduling by process and machine capacity to maintain production rhythm.
WMS Panel Management
