Under the motto “Building living spaces”, which unites all product brands and customer segments, HOMAG is presenting its entire portfolio in one place for the first time - in Hall 14 at LIGNA 2025 in Hanover. The advantage for trade fair visitors: concentrated expertise meets short distances. According to HOMAG, this in turn is the best prerequisite for intensive technical discussions - about more precision, more productivity and more efficiency. Thanks to full compatibility, woodworking and processing companies of all sizes will be able to benefit from a comprehensive range of solutions.

50 Years of LIGNA, 50 Years of HOMAG Innovations

LIGNA celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025 - and HOMAG has been there from the very beginning. The company has been presenting its innovations here for half a century. In LIGNA's anniversary year, HOMAG also has every reason to celebrate: firstly, the pioneering stand concept, and secondly, ten years of the SAWTEQ S-320 flexTec. It was 2014 when the saw revolutionized panel dividing in the long term.

Simple Automation opens up new Dimensions for SMEs

With the new SAWTEQ S-200 flexTec, HOMAG wants to open up new possibilities in panel cutting for a number of companies: The first entry-level robot saw model is designed to make high-tech automation accessible to medium-sized companies. The hybrid concept combines manual flexibility with robot-supported efficiency. The DRILLTEQ V-310, which was also presented in Hanover, continues along this path - but with CNC machining. The combined, smart robot system is designed to offer continuous 24/7 production with consistent precision when loading and destacking. According to HOMAG, chaotic stacking in batch size 1 operation is a decisive advantage in the context of the shortage of skilled workers.

Intelligent Integration creates digital added Value in Practice

According to HOMAG, the digital order folder productionManager has already taken production planning in joineries to a new level, and now the new version is set to mark a real paradigm shift in production management for the trade and medium-sized businesses. The digital solution creates measurable efficiency gains by combining versatile production planning and the flexible integration of interfaces to ERP and CAD/CAM systems with intuitive usability and integrated functions such as batch creation and reworking.

Backward Scheduling optimizes Planning

The ControllerMES production control system is to industry what the digital order folder is to trade. Here, the new module for production planning enables, among other things, the dynamic grouping of production orders as well as daily updated detailed planning. The system also takes into account workstation capacities and key figures, such as narrow parts, materials, glue types and other important indicators, which can be flexibly defined and individually adapted. Backward Scheduling allows deadlines to be optimally included in planning, which maximizes workplace utilization.

AI makes Production Times Predictions

HOMAG also presents real added value in terms of cutting. In addition to the seamless connection to the woodStore storage software, intelliDivide cutting optimization now offers AI-supported predictions of production time, the option to individually define material-dependent parameters and the targeted insertion of tension-free cuts for quality assurance.

Efficiency means saving Resources

The SAWTEQ S-300 series combines high performance with significant energy savings. The optimized chip guidance and intelligent process control are designed to measurably reduce energy consumption, while innovative features such as toleranceCheck maximize material utilization.

Space-saving Automation provides Solutions to Rising Space Costs

The STORETEQ P-310 establishes new standards for space-saving automation in the field of storage technology. The innovative second-level storage concept increases storage capacity while maintaining the same floor space - a forward-looking response to rising space costs.

Uptime Forecast prevents unplanned Downtime

One answer to the question of maximum machine availability is Predictive Diagnosis. The HOMAG service provides trade businesses and industry with an AI-supported uptime prediction. The solution learns and uses daily production data to provide maintenance impulses and consumption recommendations, for example, in order to save resources or order on time. In the event of imminent malfunctions, the service contacts the customer directly by telephone. This prevents unplanned downtime.

Digital Edgeband Printing revolutionizes the Carpentry Trade

With the EDGETEQ P-200, HOMAG claims to be revolutionizing the carpentry trade. Digital edge printing is set to take individualization, efficiency and creativity to a new level. It opens up new opportunities for carpenters to position themselves in the market and fulfill customer wishes even better.

Workpiece-oriented Operation replaces specialized Machine Knowledge

Another edging highlight: woodCommander 6 with smartSelect and edge reservation. The innovative production software offers intuitive, workpiece-oriented operation without the need for specialist machine knowledge. With features such as customer-specific categorization, workpiece visualization and automatic program selection, the software enables a more efficient production process, while a new production list always keeps track of the current processing status of all workpieces.

New CNC Programming Software turns Practical Feedback into Reality

Finally, the new version of the CNC programming software woodWOP 9 turns practical feedback into reality and impresses with an optimized user interface and operation: clear lines, a uniform colour scheme, the reduction of work steps and new programming aids. According to HOMAG, the focus should be entirely on the workpiece.
