J. u. A. Frischeis (JAF) has transformed its furniture parts production line in Stockerau, Austria, into an end-to-end, fully automated facility. State-of-the-art machines ensure top quality when processing customised furniture components.
As a wholesaler for timber and wood-based products, JAF offers not only a wide selection of different boards and panels, but also cutting and edging solutions at its processing centres throughout Austria. Reference milling on the edging machine delivers components with higher levels of accuracy in terms of their dimensions and right angles. The latest generation of PU gluing, either white or transparent, ensures the usual level of effectiveness when sealing edges and horizontal six-sided drilling and milling is the key to optimal processing options.
“In recent years, we have been responding to customer requirements and have established ourselves as an extended workbench for many cabinetmakers and carpenters. Our new production line means that we can now serve these growing needs even better. Besides the significant increase in capacity and shorter turnaround times, we have also significantly improved production quality,” explains Werner Stix, CEO of the JAF Group.
Homag had already provided JAF with the equipment needed for the first generation of furniture parts production and was called on again to supply the machinery required for this fully integrated production line. This entails an automatic production control system behind the scenes which controls the entire production chain. Integrated with various JAF online tools, this system keeps everything in motion – from the setup work, the process management and sharing of production data to the ready-to-ship picking of the goods.
JAF is one of Europe’s leading suppliers of timber and wood-based materials.
