Objective
New data processing technologies (such as CAD/CAM) are still insufficiently used in wood processing enterprises. The main reason for this is that the data and information needed during the different work phases (planning, design, manufacture) are not automatically available and interchangeable. Consequently more time and thus more money is required for planning and manufacturing. The situation is even worse considering the fact that most of the software available on the market has not been developed for wood processing purposes and therefore does not allow specific material characteristics to be taken into account in a satisfying way.
This project intends to elaborate the conditions for a standardized and continuous transfer of data during all work stages in order to rationalize planning and manufacturing and to increase the competitiveness and efficiency of the wood processing industry.
The project has delivered:
- It has been developed a working, product-independent interface (DtH-format) for the data transfer in timber construction. softwareprograms of all areas in timber construction (e.g.: planning, construction, static calculation, setting, Tendering/Award/Billing) are able to communicate without the must, to create always a new specific interface.
- It has been worked out the basic of a catalogue of construction parts. It will contain standard-parts and joinings. Because of this, it will be possible in future, to transfer descriptions of construction parts in a parametric format. The way of descriptions has the advantage compared with the explicit style, that the volume of data can be minimised and mistakes during construction and transfer can be reduced considerably.
The consequences are
- an increasing efficiency of using computers in timber industry,
- minimising the mistakes of data transfer during the different processes of house designing, planning, costing and constructing,
- quicker planning and realisation of buildings,
- a substantial reduction of the adjustment costs of new soft-or hardware equipment.
The focal point of this project will be the definition of a user-specific description of information, taking into account the requirements with respect to syntax, semantics and topography, and the development of an "Information Management System" (IMS) allowing the information to be handled faster and more effectively by the user programmes.
