The furniture sector is experiencing a period of recovery and expansion after overcoming the economic crisis that began in 2008.

This growth, which has been constant since 2011, has been more vigorously since 2014 and one of the keys has been constant innovation, which has led companies to transform and adapt to the changes produced in the last decade.

These social (consumer trends) and economic changes have affected manufacturing technology, new ways of living or new concepts in design.

A good example of this continuous adaptation is the Yeclana firm Fama Sofás, which at the end of 2019 received the 4.0 National Connected Industry Award in the category of small and medium enterprises.

Industry 4.0 and digital transformation have allowed the furniture sector to reinvent itself in many ways, giving rise to new lines of business that startups and SMEs have taken advantage of.

And it is precisely the consumer, who demands more and more customized and customized products, which has led the technology to have taken a leading role, to the point that some factories of traditional origin such as Fama Sofas, have become authentic 'Smart Factories'.

Hence, the Yeclana firm is a benchmark of Industry 4.0 at European level with its commitment to digitalization, which has made it a competitive company capable of manufacturing 500 fully customized sofas a day and delivering them in more than 60 countries Five continents

CHALLENGES AND NEW BUSINESS LINES The great challenge of the furniture sector for the coming years is its definitive adaptation to Industry 4.0, to achieve more personalized products that incorporate the Internet of Things technology, but maintaining its level of quantity and quality in the production.

And the recognition obtained by Fama, besides being an award for his career, is the confirmation that the path taken by the Yeclana firm is the way forward.

In addition, this commitment to innovation has caused companies to start investing in their own software when designing and manufacturing their products: computer applications that help firms reduce costs when updating their products or rates, as well How to customize your tools.

But one of the biggest investments in the furniture industry is being in robotics, which allows factories to automate many of the manufacturing processes.

And together with robotics, the interconnection of industrial machinery, to increase efficiency and detect in real time any problem that may arise in the production chain.

Likewise, the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence into the production process, already allows the client to demand a customized product, whose sketch is made autonomously and is sent to the factory itself, where the industrial machinery also elaborates it autonomously .

All this has helped the furniture factories to produce smaller and custom-made lots of the consumer.
