Holz Automation sought to modernize and automate the production of engineered wood components used in sustainable building construction. The company aimed to increase throughput, improve precision in cutting and assembly, and reduce manual labor in its manufacturing processes. A key objective was to support the growing demand for timber-based construction as a low-carbon alternative to conventional building materials.

Siemens provided advanced motion control technology, including SINAMICS drives and SIMATIC controllers, to automate Holz Automation's wood processing machinery. The solution enabled precise, coordinated multi-axis motion for cutting, positioning, and assembling engineered timber elements. Integration of Siemens automation hardware and software allowed seamless control of the entire production line.
