A Cutting Strategy for Customized Production of Wooden Components Based on Industrial Internet

In the wooden furniture industry, the increasing demand of mass customized production generates the diversity of customized wooden components that brings a challenge to the design of the cutting strategy. In this paper, we propose a framework for the cross cutting of wooden boards based on industrial internet. The list of customized wooden components are updated on demand by the production management server, and then transmitted to the industrial computer through industrial internet. Based on the information of the components and the scanned wooden board, the computer executes the cutting strategy to obtain the cutting list in real time. Then it is sent to the saw for the cross cutting. The proposed cutting strategy contains three algorithms: optimization of fixed-length components with uniform quality, matching component to wooden board in intervals, and processing continuous-length components. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed cutting strategy.
