BRUSSELS / AGILITYPR.NEWS / September 26, 2023 / On 26 September, 2023, 5G-Timber will be taking part as an exhibitor in the Manufacturing Partnership Day, organised by the European Factories of the Future Research Organisation, in Brussels.   

Tauno Otto, from 5G-Timber project coordinator Tallinn University of Technology, will be exhibiting: Digital Twin Enabled Augmented Reality Solutions for the Wood Industry

This exhibition, using innovative digital-twin technology, represents a key element of the 5G-Timber Project’s commitment to:

• Accelerate the twin green and digital transition of the manufacturing and construction sectors.
• Create green, flexible and digital ways to build and produce goods.
• Increase the attractiveness and safety in timber manufacturing.
• Set out credible pathways to contributing to climate-neutral, circular, and digitalised energy-intensive industries.
• Increase the global competitiveness of European energy intensive industries.
• Contribute to a substantial reduction of waste and CO2 emissions.

Professor Muhammad Mahtab Alam, from project coordinator Tallinn University of Technology, notes that 5G_Timber is highly focused on promoting the use of innovative technology within the EU timber industry to “...increase wood-based materials recycling by 50%, increase productivity by 15%, reach 99% of the work done in the factory, reduce on-sitework by 10%, reduce product nonconformities by 10%, and increase workers’ safety in wooden houses production and onsite assembling.”

The Timber Helix

5G-Timber is a key project within the Crowdhelix Timber Helix - an international open innovation community of specialists in the area of wood and timber engineering, manufacturing, advanced production and process technologies, industry 4.0 and related disciplines. It was launched to accelerate the twin transition by sharing innovative ideas and opportunities, improving commercial and scientific exploitation of projects results, and partnering for new projects that could benefit the timber industries.
