The increasing demands on automation and the digitalisation of business processes are also changing woodworking industries in the long term. The market is going through a process of transformation. The size and complexity of the projects are continuously increasing. Hence, when new projects are planned, the parties involved in the project need to see the bigger picture. The approach of “Consulting” is to promote the development of the customer company and to offer them structured assistance with investment planning and factory optimization along the whole process chain. The focus here is on the topics of digitization, automation and advanced planning systems.
