Woody: A Software System for the Design and Production of Doors and Windows

Abstract

The Woody project aims to make the daily production process easier and more efficient. It provides a platform for keeping track of all orders and makes it possible to generate workshop drawings, component lists and other required documents for each order. The workshop drawing contains the proportional blueprints for each product, while the list of all components needed for making them is also generated for the entire project. The software can also suggest an optimal strategy for cutting out these components, thus reducing the waste of resources. The definition of the products is done using a dedicated domain-specific language (DSL).The responsive web interface makes it possible for the application to be used in the field at the time of recording an order. In this way, pictures of the installation site can be uploaded using a mobile device in order to aid the manufacturing process.
