IMA Schelling, together with BÜRKLE, BIESSE, HOMAG, SCM, WEBER and WEINIG, is one of the world's seven leading manufacturers of woodworking machines who have worked together as a team in defining a standardized interface to connect all their woodworking machines, machine to machine, and machines to the customers’ Manufacturing Execution Systems. This means no individual interfaces need to be programmed and an overall control of the production process is readily put in place.
