Objectives
The WW4.0 project comprises the following objectives: Develop new approaches that enable the full digitalization of internal processes in the furniture production chain in such a way 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, it is understood that the product, in this case the furniture, is represented digitally in the system and, on behalf of the physical product, actively acts in the manufacturing process until its conclusion.
To this end, the project will develop new techniques for digital representation of furniture and algorithms, based on artificial intelligence, that will allow the intelligent product decision making to be done more efficiently.
1. Optimized models for raw material scheduling.
2. Digital solution for the “smart product”.
3. Real-time tracking system for furniture components.
4.Solution for tracking and dispatching raw materials and products
