Homag introduced in 2025 a series of innovations aimed at improving efficiency and sustainability in wood processing. With solutions ranging from advanced automation to the customization of production processes, the company offers new opportunities for businesses in the sector.
2025 is proving to be a busy year for Homag, the German giant specializing in integrated solutions for wood processing. In a market increasingly focused on production efficiency, waste reduction, and process digitalization, the company has responded with a series of new developments that span the entire supply chain: from solid wood processing to industrial furniture and timber construction component manufacturing.
The group, which also includes the brands System TM, Kallesoe, and Weinmann, has chosen to focus on scalable, integrated, and cross-functional solutions. From new CNC work centers to robotic panel cutting, from digital production planning platforms to predictive maintenance tools, Homag emphasizes flexibility, operational intelligence, and automation, which have become standard even for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Sustainable-impact solutions are also featured, along with upgrades in material management, energy optimization, and use of production space. The resulting picture is of a continuously evolving technological ecosystem designed to realistically address industry challenges: labor shortages, cost pressure, and a growing demand for customization.
HOMAG: TECHNOLOGIES
A renewed exhibition concept aims to showcase the synergies between the group’s various solutions and offer an integrated vision of technological innovation. This approach is rooted in the latest technical developments, starting with the “Sawteq S-320 flexTec”: a robotic panel cutting system that balances operational efficiency with application flexibility and is designed to expand opportunities for medium-sized companies. It is Homag’s first entry-level robotic model. Its hybrid concept, combining the flexibility of manual handling with the efficiency of automated systems, provides a tangible response to increasingly variable production demands.
The “Drillteq V-310” follows the same direction, offering an automated solution for CNC processing. The combined robotic system enables continuous production—24/7—for both loading and unloading, with consistent precision. One of the most pressing challenges in the industry, the shortage of skilled workers, is addressed by the system’s ability to randomly stack during batch size 1 operations, simplifying handling even with limited resources.
SOFTWARE
On the software side, Homag introduced “productionManager Advanced”, an upgrade of the “productionManager” digital management software. This new version marks a step forward in production management for craftsmen and medium-sized businesses, offering a solution that improves efficiency through versatile planning and flexibility in ERP and CAD/CAM system integration.
For industrial applications, the “ControllerMes” production execution system now includes a new planning module. Features include dynamic order grouping, daily updated detailed planning, capacity management, and monitoring of materials, glue, and other key indicators. Backward scheduling allows for optimized deadlines and more precise planning.
In panel cutting, Homag also presented updates to “intelliDivide”, the AI-supported optimization software that provides more accurate forecasts, customizable parameters based on material, and stress-relief cuts, helping maintain high quality standards.
SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION
One of today’s main goals is achieving greater energy efficiency, and innovation must go hand-in-hand with sustainability. In this context, the “Sawteq S-300” series combines high performance with energy savings. Optimized chip conveying and smart process control help reduce energy consumption, while features such as “ToleranceCheck” maximize material usage.
The “Storeteq P-310”, a compact two-level automated solution for material storage management, increases capacity without adding footprint, meeting the growing need to optimize space.
“Predictive Diagnosis” is designed to ensure maximum machine availability. It offers AI-based uptime predictions that learn from daily data and provide maintenance suggestions and procurement recommendations. In case of imminent failures, the service proactively contacts the customer, preventing unplanned downtime.
EDGEBANDING AND CNC
In the edgebanding field, Homag is introducing several innovations. With the “Edgeteq P-200”, the company brings digital edge printing, enhancing customization, efficiency, and creativity, offering carpenters new ways to stand out in the market.
Another new release is “WoodCommander 6” with “SmartSelect”, which simplifies edge management. The software enables intuitive, part-oriented operation without the need for expert knowledge, and includes features like personalized categorization, part visualization, and automatic program selection.
Also new is “WoodWop 9”, the latest version of the CNC programming software. The focus remains on the workpiece: the interface has been optimized, operational steps reduced, and new programming support tools have been added.
CNC innovations aim to improve efficiency, flexibility, and process control—including nesting and drilling.
SYSTEM TM, KALLESOE AND WEINMANN
System TM’s integration into the group has expanded the technology portfolio, thanks to the Danish company’s specialization in labor and wood resource management for the solid wood sector, with applications ranging from pallets to parquet. System TM will showcase its advanced cutting solutions, alongside Kallesoe’s technologies, which focus on automation and high-frequency presses for solid wood. Among the highlights is a high-efficiency generator for rapid curing.
Weinmann will also present new developments at the upcoming edition of Ligna, including the “Wallteq M-300”, an entry-level option for milling, cutting, fastening, marking, and nailing, and the “Feedbot W-500”, a highly automated robotic system.
