The adoption of Industry 4.0 new technologies is believed being one of the key drivers of change during this and next years for the European industries, together with the Circular Economy.

With a massively connected and globalised economy, the wood furniture manufacturing industry will offer personalised smart products and services based on digital manufacturing systems supplied by resource-efficient and sustainable industries with an immense need for enough digitization talents and skills securing a competitive transformation of the industry.

A number of new technologies offer transformative business potentials, both in terms of the products and manufacturing processes, for those companies able to properly use and adopt them. An even greater transformation can come from the accumulated effect of the combination of several of these new technologies.

Most of these technologies can be utilised by SMEs’ and large enterprises, making them suitable for a large part of the European wood furniture industry.
