Izy A Common Language Connecting Machines

A common language to connect all wood processing machines, has been developed over the last three years by seven of the leaders in woodworking machinery, BIESSE, BÜRKLE, HOMAG, IMA SCHELLING, SCM, WEBER and WEINIG.

At Xylexpo 2022, a purpose-built display offering information and running the latest videos on Woodworking made izy provided the opportunity to share with the Italian and international woodworking audience, the novelty of a standard interface as a Woodworking Companion Specification for OPC UA (Open Platform Communications United Architecture) enabling machines from different manufacturers to be easily integrated and connected. Having to programme an individual interface will no longer be necessary, and an overall control of the production process can be set up very easily.

The project has been named izy, inspired by universal languages, and it has solved a communication problem in an easy and streamlined way. It used to take at least 3 days for wood processing companies to network machines with each other and with the MES (Manufacturing Execution System), now it will only take up to 3 hours to just plug in, just as easily as connecting a laptop to the printer with a USB cable.
