Facio Ltd was founded in 2004 with main activities in manufacturing wood items and blank products for massive wood furniture. At the moment we are specializing in tables and cupboards production. We are constantly aiming at optimizing our production process so they become more effective, economically logic, with maximum use of resources - wood material and without negative impact on the environment. Our products are sold both at national and international markets. 
The main problems in the company are connected with the lack of qualified employees, increase of resource and energy costs. To be able to overcome those limits, it is necessary to digitalize the production process as much as possible with high-tech equipment with high productivity and energy saving. We need to implement equipment which will be serviced by workers after training, but without the need of special qualification. 
One of the most important steps in the technological process is the initial cutting out of the material in size, which is the key process for defining the overall company production capacity. At the moment we use multidisk circular saw which is quite old, with big energy consumption and very low productivity - 1,5 to 3 cubic metere per day depending on the products and processed items. This is the equipment we would like to replace with this project. We are planning to install a new machine with capacity of 6-10 cubic meters per day, with at least two mobile disks and digital command. This will allow us to process simultaneously and faster material with different widths. As a result we expect that our production capacity in this process to be increased 3-4 times which will lead to increase of the overall production capacity with more than 30%. The precise processing will allow us to optimize the used resource as well as to minimize the scapped products and wastes. 
Thus we shall be able to increase our competitiveness and ensure our future development.
