Manufacturers are seeking ways to reduce manpower labour while also improving yield for their production. Automation and smart technology are ideal solutions, aiming to cut manpower down to two or even one operator on the machine, thus saving operational costs. Companies such as Nanxing Machinery and Truong Hung offered exactly that, with Truong Hung demonstrating how their automated Digital solutions for furniture manufacturing and design are also in demand now to streamline and simplify production, especially for high-capacity machines that need smart technology. Cabinet Vision South East Asia demonstrated how their digital solutions, CABINET VISION and ALPHACAM, can help manufacturers, particularly in Vietnam, digitise panel and solid timber furniture manufacturing and handle complex designs. Although the number of exhibitors fell — hampered by strict quarantine measures in some countries — as compared to the previous edition of the exhibition, the number of visitors increased to almost 5,000. It is a clear sign that in spite of challenging times, woodworking manufacturers and factories are still seeking ways to boost their production, and BIFA Wood Vietnam 2022 has provided what they needed. “Many of our exhibitors said they received the right customers for their machineries, and which is why they have very good sales in these difficult times,” concluded Pang. WIA FROM THE GROUND “This exhibition is the first professional exhibition after the epidemic, but the overall feeling is good, and the results are getting more and more positive [each day]. At present, 2-3 customers are interested in buying our machines, for about 6-7 equipment pieces.” Peter Liu, International Sales Director, Nanxing Machinery “I think the organisers have done a very good job of featuring the machines and and have built a strong foundation. So, I believe the future exhibitions will be just as smooth, able to attract a strong exhibitor and visitor base… Many of our orders are under negotiation.” Joe Chang, CEO, Kuang Yung WOOD IN ARCHITECTURE • ISSUE 2 – 2022 61
