Falegnameria Ciaudano: the Industry 4.0 revolution in a small woodworking business specialized in wood for construction
THE CHALLENGE
Falegnameria Ciaudano specializes in the manufacturing of stands, structures for conferences and fairs, and other wooden elements for construction. The company began its activity with the aim of offering beautiful, unique, and customized products to the city of Turin and its surroundings, as they are made to measure.
In 2021, they decided to upgrade their machinery to Industry 4.0 standards and interconnect the new ROVER BIESSE, taking advantage of the tax incentives provided by the Transition Plan 4.0, in order to automate order processing. This marks the beginning of a journey with Orchestra aimed at transforming the woodworking shop into a digitalized reality with the aim of optimizing the company’s production process.
THE SOLUTION
For this reason, at Falegnameria Ciaudano, Orchestra installed the new digital solution for managing company orders, SMARTCONNECTION by BIESSE “powered by RETUNER®”: a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software developed by BIESSE in collaboration with the Orchestra RETUNER® product suite, to plan, advance, control, and finalize machine operations in production.
THE BENEFITS
The introduction of the software into the company brought several benefits, including:
- Simplification and precision of operations due to the user-friendly nature of the MES
- Versatility and flexibility in MES usage
- Increased efficiency of the production system
- Better control of order progress thanks to real-time monitoring
SMARTCONNECTION met the expectations of the woodworking shop, so much so that Pietro Ciaudano, Technical Manager of the company, declared the following:
“With SMARTCONNECTION, we have found great ease of use and flexibility. It is a software that allows us to program comfortably from our office and send the project to the machine with a click. It is a program that is understandable to everyone, and therefore, we can consider ourselves very satisfied.”
