INDUSTRIES · FURNITURE & WOODWORK

Every board counted, every kit complete, every site on time.

Furniture runs two businesses at once: make-to-order projects with late client changes, and volume lines where panel yield decides margin. We instrument cutting, drying, finishing and kit assembly — so waste, moisture and delivery promises stop depending on one person's memory.

Where this industry bleeds

Furniture & Woodwork — four ways margin leaks out

Cutting optimization lives in one planner's head

Panel yield depends on how boards are nested — and the person who does it is on leave. Waste rates swing week to week and nobody can say why.

One changed order re-plans the whole week

Custom dimensions, fabric swaps, late client changes — every edit ripples through cutting, edging, drilling and assembly plans kept in separate spreadsheets.

Moisture and finishing rework appear too late

Kiln schedules and storage humidity run by feel; warped panels and paint defects surface at final assembly — the most expensive place to find them.

Site delivery is a promise, not a plan

Project furniture reaches installation crews with schedules booked and clients watching. One missing hinge kit stops the whole site day.

02
Standards we build for

Records must serve where you sell. Start with the honest minimum; switch export requirements on only when your market asks for them.

Lot traceability

Selling in Vietnam: warranty and claims

Every board lot linked to finished goods, so claims are settled fast.

Production records

Selling in Vietnam: the honest minimum

Who made what, when, and from which board lot.

Quality checklists

Selling in Vietnam: key stations

Checklists only at the stations that matter, no paperwork for its own sake.

FSC / PEFC CoC

Export: legal wood origin

Chain-of-custody records, switched on when buyers ask for legal wood origin.

F★★★★ (JIS/JAS)

Export: Japan

Formaldehyde emission records for shipments to Japan.

CARB / EPA TSCA Title VI

Export: US market

Formaldehyde compliance records for the US market.

Supplier certificates

Export: incoming lots

Certificates auto-linked to incoming lots, with no rebuild from zero.

Typical stack

How the six systems show up here

MES

Cutting lists, edging and drilling sequences, kit-completeness checks before packing.

WMS

Panel, hardware and finished-goods warehouse with aging and project allocation.

IIoT

Kiln and storage humidity monitoring, dust-extraction and energy per machine.

AI

Nesting optimization, panel surface defect detection, finishing-rework pattern analysis.

DATA

Yield per board and per cutter — the number that decides which machine buys itself.

Quick wins, 30–60 days
1

Digital cutting list + yield baseline

One week of honest nesting data per cutter — the baseline every optimization is judged against.

2

Humidity monitoring in drying and storage

Sensors on existing kilns and panel racks — warping surprises stop quietly.

3

Kit-completeness check before shipping

Scan-verified hardware and parts per order — site crews stop losing days to missing hinges.

Industry FAQs

Our industry is not listed — do you still help?

Most likely, yes. Machines, materials, people and time behave the same in ceramics as in coffee. Book the free diagnosis; if we are not the right fit, we will say so and point you to someone who is.

Can you align with our certification body's requirements?

Yes — HACCP, ISO 22000, IATF 16949, sustainability schemes and buyer audits all reduce to documented, retrievable records. We configure the system to produce exactly those records, then invite your auditor to see them.

Do you work with plants outside Vietnam?

Yes — Vietnam and Japan are home bases, and we deliver in Thailand through regional partners. Diagnoses can run online, pilots need a plant visit.

We have multiple plants in different countries — can this scale?

That is one of our strengths: a pilot at one site, then a shared architecture rolled out site by site — with reporting your HQ can trust, in Japanese, Vietnamese or English.
