Binderholz installed a new communication technology system at its glulam factory in Jenbach, Austria. The previous PLC-controlled production system has now been interlinked with a modern information and communication technology system called “Industry 4.0”, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
This will transform the current independent system and enables all operations to talk and communicate with each other, people, machines, plants, logistics and products. The control centre is positioned in plant 2 at Jenbach.
In addition to this investment, a new automatic high-rack stacking system has been installed to enable all completed BSH glulam packages to be stored. This means up to 850 individual packages, or 2,000 m³ can be stored simultaneously.
The storage and retrieval of the packages is fully automatic via a new specially programmed warehouse System. Another new feature is all loads are delivered to exchange tractors in a 3 shift operation, enabling up to 35 truckloads per day to be pre-loaded on two loading lines.
binderholz is a leading European company for solid wood products and innovative building solutions.
