Project description
5G for the wood value chain
The transition to 5G mobile communications and Industry 5.0 will enable greatly accelerated digitalisation and circular development models for producers and consumers. The wood industry is part of this transition. The multidisciplinary EU-funded 5G-TIMBER project combines expertise in wood material models, digital twins, AR, 5G, etc. to help SME end-users optimise workflow, reduce waste and improve safety. It will also work towards improving the entire wood value chain. The solution will be tested in Norway, Estonia and Finland – three countries where wood product manufacturing is important. The project aims to increase wood-based materials recycling by 50 % and manufacturing productivity by 15 %. Moreover, it will reduce the work done in the factory by 10 % and increase worker safety.
