FURNITURE Furniture

FURNITURE Furniture planning with DressCode Configuration tool increases chance of selling Walk-in closet with full Dresscode configuration. With a new generation of product configuration tools, furniture manufacturers can now collaborate with their customers to quickly, conveniently and easily put together the correct cabinet configuration using the DressCode cabinet organizer system product range. The best part: The individually planned furniture can be virtually presented in a realistic environment. It took just ten months of development work to produce this new Häfele configuration tool. It opens up completely new possibilities and advantages for joiners and interior fitters. The DressCode configuration tool increases the chance of a sale with on-site advice, and reduces the time taken by up to 80 %. The furniture is reliably and quickly configured, planning errors are avoided and the ordering process is simplified. Purchase and selling price determination takes place automatically on site. Direct ordering from Häfele is possible even while the sales discussion is taking place. This reduces the time taken from order processing time to installation to three to seven working days. Optimum user friendliness & shop connection Design and user friendliness and quick operation of the configuration tool were a main concern for the developers. The user is led through the application in just a few steps. Individual configurations can be sent to joiners and interior fitters by end customers using the share and save functions. The recipient opens the configuration, can modify it if necessary and then order the necessary products in the Häfele web shop. The new generation of configuration tools is mobile ready and can be used with stationary and mobile terminal devices. DressCode cabinet organizer system as the entrance into the digital world With the DressCode configuration tool, users can quickly and easily put together their individual cabinet equipment and examine it in realistic environments with the intelligent Augmented Reality App. Almost any cabinet can be configured with a uniform design. The system inspires with its impressive design language and outstanding functionality. Since the market launch last year, DressCode has therefore become very successful with joiners/cabinet makers and in interior design businesses. All elements can be assembled and disassembled without requiring tools. It reduces the assembly time by 50 % in comparison to screw connections. The award-winning connector is at the heart of this system for wardrobes and shelves. DressCode can be installed in the cabinet or set up as a freestanding frame system and is also perfect for walk-in closets. The system fits into any ambience thanks to its individual design and equipment options, and is internationally available. Comprehensive output options Once configuration is complete, the furniture constructor is provided with different data formats and output options for either manufacturing the parts himself or transferring the configuration into existing room planning. The data output includes 2D and 3D CAD data for downloading or for displaying in all of the most popular formats. There is also a parts lists for individual components, cutting lists with all of the processing measures for wooden parts, a configuration overview with an integrated parts list and an exploded view which can also be used as assembly instructions for installers. Useful notes for the practitioner: The 3D data export for quick and easy integration which is available with Häfele products is becoming increasingly popular. This allows furniture and components to be quickly and easily integrated into drawings and plans. However, the 3D data is also used to extend kitchen and room planning e.g. with Silent Aluflex or DressCode. www.haefele.de 22 No. 3 • August 2020

DECORS Fully automated flexographic plate processing equipment The ThermoFlexX Catena+ equipment line The revolutionary fully automated plate processing line consists of equipment modules which were announced earlier by the group; Catena - E (UV LED exposure), Catena - W (solvent plate processor), and Catena - DLS (dryer, light finisher and plate stacker combination with robotized plate transport). Catena means “connected chain” and just as the name reveals, the Catena+ line is a modular system, which can join together for various levels of automation. A Catena-DLS module can be connected to a Catena-W for automatic plateprocessing. The Catena-DLS has 10 drying units, 7 stacking positions and a light finisher. Robotic movement ensures that plates are fully finished with no operator intervention after loading into the washer. “We are proud to announce the Catena- DLS, the missing piece on our way to fully automated flexo plate processing. In combination with our ThermoFlexX imager, the recently released Catena-W and the Catena-E UV LED exposure, we provide a state-of- the-art, fully automated and integrated flexo plate processing system, which allows our customers to produce flexo plates at lowest total cost for every application“, explains Uwe Stebani, General Manager Xeikon Prepress. “And in combination with our groundbreaking ThermoFlexX Woodpecker surface screening software and best-in-class Flint Group flexographic plates, we enable our customers to rival any other system in the market.” Catena+ brings the whole chain together, resulting in leading edge fully automated flexo plate making. Once the operator has removed the cover sheet the plate is automatically loaded into the imager, and is completely processed and fully finished with no further operator interventions needed, eliminating any damage caused by manual plate handling. Designed as an open system, Catena+ allows easy loading of plates from other imagers into the Catena-E LED exposure unit. Plates from other exposure frames can also be easily loaded to take advantage of the highly productive WDLS. The full line Catena+ also includes Catena Cockpit, which provides a highly visible status report on plate processing, progress and expected time of completion. With Catena ProServX software, the machine health status of all modules is constantly monitored, thus, enabling a new level of pro-active support and maintenance. The need for physical service-interventions is minimized. www.flintgrp.com No. 3 • August 2020 23
