A new CAD/CAM and MES connectivity for the woodworking industry
SWOOD and WEB-CAB are joining forces to help woodworking manufacturers create a more connected digital workflow between design, engineering, manufacturing, and production management.
What is WEB-CAB?
WEB-CAB is a Manufacturing Execution System designed for woodworking companies that want to improve shop-floor organization, production tracking, assembly workflows, material management, and real-time visibility across their operations. By helping manufacturers structure production data and monitor what happens on the shop floor, WEB-CAB enables teams to manage projects, parts, priorities, and production progress more efficiently.
Connecting SWOOD CAD/CAM with WEB-CAB MES
This partnership creates a direct connection between two complementary solutions: SWOOD, the CAD/CAM solution dedicated to woodworking and integrated within SOLIDWORKS®, and WEB-CAB, the MES platform focused on production management and shop-floor execution.
Through this connectivity, a direct link between SWOOD and WEB-CAB can be implemented for customers who need to connect both solutions. Once in place, the integration automatically collects key engineering and manufacturing data generated from SWOOD projects and makes it available within WEB-CAB.
This connected data flow brings together 3D project and cabinet information, project dimensions, edgebanding details, panel images, nesting sheet images, nesting data, and other production-related information generated by SWOOD, enabling WEB-CAB to use a complete, structured dataset throughout the production workflow.
Turning SWOOD production data into a connected workflow
For SWOOD users, this means that the structured data created during design, engineering, machining, nesting, and production preparation can be made available within WEB-CAB to support production planning, part tracking, assembly, and shop-floor visibility.
Bringing CAD/CAM engineering data into production management
For WEB-CAB users, the partnership offers a stronger connection with SWOOD’s woodworking CAD/CAM environment, enabling engineering and manufacturing information to flow more smoothly from the digital model to the production management system.
Two specialized woodworking software solutions working together
By connecting SWOOD and WEB-CAB, woodworking companies can rely on two specialized solutions working together: SWOOD to design, engineer, manufacture, nest, and generate reliable production data; WEB-CAB to organize, manage, and track production activities on the shop floor.
Together, SWOOD and WEB-CAB support a more connected workflow for manufacturers seeking to strengthen communication among engineering, production, and workshop teams.
