Develop new approaches that allow the full digitalization of internal processes in the furniture production chain so that they are integrated into a global approach.

In particular, the WW4.0 project will develop new ways of tracking materials and raw materials considering two distinct ways.

The project will introduce the concept of intelligent product, deduces that the product, in this case the mobile, is digitally represented in the system and, on behalf of the physical product, acts actively in the manufacturing process until its completion. To this end, the project will develop new techniques for digital representation of furniture and algorithms, based on artificial intelligence, which will allow decision-making by the intelligent product to be made more efficiently.

  • Optimized models for raw material scaling.
  • Digital solution for the “smart product”.
  • Real-time tracking system of furniture components.
  • Raw material and product tracking and scheduling solution
  • A1 – Functional and technical requirements.
  • A2 – Platform for aggregation and presentation of information.
  • A3 – Intelligent product.
  • A4 – Real-time tracking of furniture components.
  • A5 – Implementation, testing and validation of the solution.
  • A6 – Dissemination, communication and exploitation of results.
  • A7 – Project Management
  • Intelligent product concept development, furniture components, raw material and products tracking system, raw material scheduling models.
