Accesoria Group presents AUTOMACTION, the BIESSE concept at Ligna 2019

With 6000 m² of exhibition space, more than 45 innovative technologies and more than 300 specialists on the stand, this year's BIESSE participation at LIGNA will be a real showcase. The Italian manufacturer wants its impressive presence in Hanover to celebrate 50 years of activity. It is also intended to be a preview of the autumn opening of the BIESSE branch in Germany, a 6000 m² campus located in Nersingen, which will have a 1600 m² showroom.

From the news page on the website of Accesoria Group, the BIESSE representative in Romania, we learn about the concept AUTOMACTION BIESSE wants to highlight, at LIGNA 2019, the link between man and robot. BIESSE has already accustomed us to machines with a high degree of automation and robotisation. The new concept talks about integration, connection and digitalisation, with the focus on customer needs and creating the perfect solution for each customer.

BIESSE AUTOMACTION at LIGNA - The future is already here

LIGNA is the leading trade fair for woodworking machinery, tools and technologies. Parallel to this, if at the Milan fair you will discover the latest trends in furniture and interior decoration, at LIGNA you will find the latest in technology and superior woodworking methods. In the age of digitisation, technologies are increasingly automated and robotised, and this is where BIESSE excels. This year, from 27 to 31 May, BIESSE will make full use of the opportunity to present the opportunities offered by robotisation and the advantages of new technologies.

BIESSE representatives assure us that automation and robotisation do not eliminate the human being but, on the contrary, he is at the centre of the concerns when designing machines. The focus is on streamlining processes, transferring repetitive cycles to robots, thus increasing performance and quality of operations. Humans coordinate, programme and streamline. BIESSE has created modular and flexible systems so that they can be easily adapted to each type of flow or production range. With the entire woodworking sector facing a serious labour shortage, LIGNA is a good opportunity to see and analyse all these technologies.

In order to streamline the factory, BIESSE combines robotization and digitalization with the development of new software and continues the innovative journey started with SOPHIA, the IoT (Internet of Things) service platform. By extending the platform's functionality, the business will become more predictable, improving personalised interaction with the customer regarding the machine. This significantly reduces the time needed for assistance. LIGNA visitors will be able to test the cutting-edge technological innovation that characterises BIESSE, see how they can get more value from their machines and discover how SOPHIA can revolutionise and simplify everyday work.

Machines that will be present on the stand

Accessory informs us that on the BIESSE stand we will find the CNCs Rover A and Rover Cin different versions, hardening, calibrating and drilling machines, package cutting, handling systems. And speaking of handling systems. I recently saw a video of such a BIESSE system: a robotic arm was putting the cut-to-size plates into categories. The boards were different sizes and the robot put each one in its own category. It was fascinating and I was even discussing with someone that with a good internet connection, you could cut and stack a warehouse of chipboard or MDF from your armchair at home. Interesting, huh?

Robots and a range of panel handling solutions, software, IoT solutions, digitised services and the best wood processing technologies, you will find them all at the BIESSE stand at LIGNA, along with 300 specialists ready to answer your questions.

The Hannover Fair is a great opportunity to see the latest in woodworking. If you work with wood or wood products, are passionate about technology, robots or digitisation, face labour shortages and are looking for solutions, come to the fair. You may come back with solutions and ideas. And don't forget the BIESSE news!
