COSCOM takes over the CNC digitization of the HOMAG Group - from Germany to Shanghai

The HOMAG Group, part of the D?rr Group, is one of the leading suppliers of woodworking machinery and has a global market share of over 30 percent. The product portfolio includes machines, software and services along the process chain for furniture and construction element production. A groundbreaking decision was made in 2024: Five production sites are to be uniformly digitalized - with COSCOM Eco-System.

Four German production sites of the HOMAG Group - including Schopfloch and Herzebrock-Clarholz - as well as the Chinese headquarters in Shanghai will soon have one thing in common: The CNC machines used for the production of drilling, dowel insertion and edge banding machines as well as for panel cutting, among other things, will be networked and managed across the board. The contract for this large-scale digitization project was awarded to COSCOM Computer GmbH.

The project was initially triggered by the replacement of the previous tool and NC program management system, which was operated differently at the various sites and was no longer technologically up-to-date.

The minimum requirement of the HOMAG Group was the transfer of existing tool and production data to the COSCOM Eco-System - a modular application system based on a central data platform. In this system, ToolDIRECTOR VM (Virtual Machining) supports tool management - from the creation of the digital twin and production simulations to stock management and communication with ERP/PPS systems. FactoryDIRECTOR VM collects all relevant production data from the various systems, links files in the file system and stores information in the central database.

"The customer's minimum requirements were clearly exceeded by our technical implementation skills. We analyzed potential improvements and identified the most effective project steps in order to implement a uniform solution for five locations. The project also had to be implemented without any delays in production," says Henning Felber, Process Consultant at COSCOM, looking back.

David V?gele, project manager at the HOMAG site in Schopfloch, has positive feedback: "COSCOM has also succeeded in generating significantly greater transparency in the management of our tools and in the production processes. The data can be used across all systems - with a central data source in the COSCOM Eco-System that can be updated at any time."
