Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for optimizing the manufacture of wooden furniture. The system is configured to receive a user selection of a furniture product; receive a user input associated with the one or more variables for each of the one or more components of the furniture product; generate a furniture plan for the one or more components associated with the at least one of the one or more furniture products; and transmit control signals based on the furniture plan to cause a manufacturing equipment to implement the furniture plan, wherein implementing the furniture plan further comprises manufacturing the one or more components.
Claims17
A system for optimizing the execution of parametric joinery, wherein generated template information is based on at least processing input information comprising one or more attributes associated with one or more components associated with a furniture product type, the template information generated by calculating a value for each of one or more variables based on user input and a predefined relationship between each of the one or more variables associated with the one or more components, the system comprising:
- one or more memory devices;
- and
- one or more processing devices operatively coupled to the one or more memory devices, wherein the one or more processing devices are configured to execute computer-readable program code to:
- convert the generated template information into a production format comprising machine code to be transmitted to a manufacturing device;
- transmit the converted template information to the manufacturing device;
- generate a furniture plan for the one or more components associated with the at least one of the one or more furniture product types based on at least the generated template information;
- and
- transmit at least one control signal based on the furniture plan to cause the manufacturing device to implement the furniture plan, wherein implementing the furniture plan comprises manufacturing the one or more components.
A method for optimizing the execution of parametric joinery, wherein generated template information is based on at least processing input information comprising one or more attributes associated with one or more components associated with a furniture product type, the template information generated by calculating a value for each of one or more variables based on user input and a predefined relationship between each of the one or more variables associated with the one or more components, the method comprising:
- converting the generated template information into a production format comprising machine code to be transmitted to a manufacturing device;
- transmitting the converted template information to the manufacturing device;
- generating a furniture plan for the one or more components associated with the at least one of the one or more furniture product types based on at least the generated template information;
- and
- transmitting at least one control signal based on the furniture plan to cause the manufacturing device to implement the furniture plan, wherein implementing the furniture plan comprises manufacturing the one or more components.
