Automating for Efficiency and Profitability

Central to the Hundegger TURBO-Drive II system is its fully automated mechanism, expertly designed to handle the dual challenges of efficiently stocking the floor storage and ensuring precise material feeding to Hundegger’s advanced timber framing and cutting machines or processing centers. This ingenious system not only simplifies the process of destacking pre-arranged wood packages, including a wide variety of timber types, but also employs cutting-edge vacuum technology for the handling of diverse board materials.

Hundegger distinguishes itself through its holistic integration of sophisticated software and durable hardware, automating the entirety of your EWP processing chain. This comprehensive approach not only minimizes waste and accelerates production rates but also facilitates detailed tracking of all operational facets through a singular unified system, empowering you to operate more intelligently and efficiently.

Maximizing Inventory Efficiency

With the introduction of Hundegger Cambium software, inventory management is transformed into an intuitive and highly efficient process. This system empowers you to reduce inventory levels, optimize material lengths, stock fewer SKUs, and increase inventory turnover rates. The innovative integration of intelligent software plays a pivotal role in this process, minimizing material consumption to its lowest possible level. Furthermore, the implementation of Hundegger optimization (nesting) ensures the maximum effective use of all lineal footage, eliminating waste and ensuring that every piece of material is utilized to its fullest potential. This strategic optimization prevents material and time wastage, directly enhancing your profitability.

Harnessing the Power of Agnostics

A key highlight of Hundegger’s technology is its agnostic capability. The system features seamless integration with leading industry software like BC Connect®, BC Framer® by Simpson EWP, and Weyerhaeuser’s Stellar design software. This compatibility streamlines the entire processing workflow from just a few design files, obviating the complications associated with disorganized imports, misplaced paperwork, and the laborious manual data entry that frequently leads to inconsistencies and operational headaches.

Enhancing Productivity and Minimizing Human Error – A solution for the future

The automation provided by the Pick and Feed system ensures a consistent and uninterrupted workflow, enhancing overall productivity. By eliminating manual handling of materials, the system not only speeds up the production process but also reduces the potential for human error. This leads to higher quality outputs and a more reliable production line, directly addressing the labor challenges of maintaining quality in the face of workforce variability.
