Smarter manufacturing starts with HOMAG INTELLIGENCE

HOMAG INTELLIGENCE is the first solution on the market that creates an end-to-end network of the processes in furniture sales and furniture production.

Industry pioneer, HOMAG, is helping manufacturers of all sizes embrace digitalisation at a speed and sophistication that, three or four years ago, would have seemed inconceivable.

Furniture manufacturers today rely on a patchwork of digital tools: configurators, sales software, CAD/CAM tools, ERP systems and machine controllers – each generating data in different formats and for different purposes. Until now, stitching these tools together into a coherent, error-free workflow required costly interfaces and significant manual effort. HOMAG INTELLIGENCE changes that.

As the industry’s first truly open, modular platform, it brings together all data from sales, design, configuration, order entry, and production, regardless of machine brand or existing software systems. For the first time, manufacturers can achieve a fully networked, end-to-end process from sales and configuration to delivery. 

Total transparency

At the heart of HOMAG INTELLIGENCE is a cloud-based centralised data management system that ensures data is always current, consistent, and available to everyone who needs it. With one login, users can access all relevant data without duplication or manual updates.

Design error-free with predefined libraries

HOMAG INTELLIGENCE offers predefined, tested furniture design libraries that reflect common industry standards and allow manufacturers to quickly configure products with confidence, all while reducing design errors and accelerating time to production. Maintained and updated by HOMAG, they evolve with market trends and can be adapted to specific business needs while retaining compatibility.

Smarter production across sites

With HOMAG INTELLIGENCE, manufacturers can now enjoy their fair share of production agility by managing and distributing production orders across multiple sites or partners with ease. The beauty of a cloud-based order distribution platform like this is its flexibility. It’s now possible to balance workloads, meet sustainability goals, work around capacity bottlenecks, and more, all from one place.

Scale without risk

HOMAG INTELLIGENCE is built to scale. The platform is modular, browser-based, and pay-as-you-grow, so manufacturers can start with a basic setup and expand functionality over time. Most of the digital components do not need to be installed, can be easily used in the browser and can be terminated annually. This eliminates the need for costly investments in a server landscape, as well as maintenance.

From small teams with a single machine to enterprises managing entire machine pools, the platform grows with the business. Upcoming pricing models will even include volume-based billing, further aligning costs with output and enabling smarter investment planning.

Open to all systems

One of the platform’s most compelling strengths is its openness. HOMAG INTELLIGENCE is designed to integrate with any software landscape and machine pool, including third-party systems. With standardised APIs and open interfaces, it removes the need for costly custom integrations and protects manufacturers’ existing investments.

HOMAG INTELLIGENCE vs. tapio

Many HOMAG app and digital assistant users are already familiar with the tapio platform. HOMAG introduced a second platform because each serves a different purpose. tapio is a digital infrastructure accessible to the entire industry. tapio offers this infrastructure to both HOMAG and more than 45 partners from the wood industry and furniture manufacturers as users of digital services. Users have access to all important areas with just one login. tapio provides the corresponding framework conditions for data protection and ownership in accordance with the standards of the European General Data Protection Regulation.

In addition, HOMAG INTELLIGENCE forms the solid backbone for seamless networking of furniture production processes. From the concept of the desired furniture through to production, this platform seamlessly connects all data between different software systems, process steps and machines.

Fit for the future

With its unified interface, robust cloud infrastructure and future-ready capabilities, HOMAG INTELLIGENCE positions manufacturers for 4.0. All data is accessible for real-time insights, reporting, and analysis, paving the way for smarter decisions and continuous improvement.
