We are launching the "Second Generation in Business" to present the development of the woodworking and furniture industry sectors in our country. A large part of the companies are family-owned and in the beginning they were managed by the first generation, which created the foundations of the business already in the years of transition. However, now is the time of the second generation, which steps confidently and implements new technologies, takes into account the current trends in production and tries to attract young people to start working in the sector.

Equipment operability and efficiency are increasingly important to achieve maximum efficiency and continuously production. The production of wood furniture and components has been continuously automated and digitized for the last decades and inevitably the equipment becomes more connected, interactive, intelligent and reliable, notifying operators and maintenance teams of upcoming preventive maintenance, repairs, replacement of consumables and possible problems. In this article we will look at all the options that HOMAG customers in Bulgaria can use to prevent unwanted accidents and shutdowns.

Machines, software, robots, artificial intelligence... This is the way to increase production efficiency. We are expanding in what we understand, and we have no desire to enter industrial territories unknown to us, says Pavel Dimov, managing director of MOS Robotics. The company was established in 2018. It has found its niche, in which it is currently without competition. But it does not start "green", but is part of a successful family business founded in the 90s by Emil Dimov, and his two sons Pavel and Boyan have been involved in it over the years.

Edgebanding parts in furniture production is one of the most important processes for achieving good product quality. The edges of the parts are visible to users and any error such as damage to the surface of the part, missing or more than the required glue, large glue joint, incorrect geometry of the edge, etc. are immediately noticeable and spoil not only the vision of the details, but are also a prerequisite for the entry of moisture and liquids into the detail and corresponding defects. In this article we will look at different edging processes, different technologies, machines and innovative solutions of the HOMAG Group that can improve the quality of edging.

The cutting of materials is the first step in any furniture production and requires extreme attention to the accuracy, quality and efficiency of the process. As a world leader in the production of machinery and equipment for the furniture industry, the HOMAG Group provides various solutions and numerous additional options, functions and software systems that can improve your processes. In this article we will look at some of them, their advantages and purpose, explaining the different systems and for whom they are intended.

As part of the Industry 4.0, the furniture industry is constantly improving its technological base and processes in the production of interior design, furniture components and details. The continuous development and connectivity of platforms and applications facilitate our daily work not only in the office, but also in production. For years, leading manufacturers such as imos AG and HOMAG Group have been working in the direction of "paperless production" or digitization of the information flow. The goal is not only to save materials and protect the environment, but also to find the right information about an order, item or part at the moment we need it, without having to scroll through hundreds of sheets of documentation.
