ARDIS to demo all-in-one software platform at WMS 2025
Woodworking Network: ARDIS offers a software platform designed specifically for the woodworking and interior manufacturing industries. Its suite connects and optimizes every step of production — from planning and inventory to machining and finishing — giving manufacturers complete visibility and control. The system combines advanced panel optimization, smart inventory management for panels and offcuts, seamless machine integration across mixed brands, and full control visibility and control over production.

Thought this was a cool read, I've been wanting to get into machine manufacturing for a long time, and I was actually thinking about signing up for a class for CNC manufacturing next semester because I just think it would be super cool to know how to do. I also wanted to get into the art of whittling with wood. I think having good wood skills are great things to understand considering just how much is now made with wood especially in the theater world, and understanding how to work with it would be just that much more beneficial. It's also just super cool, like I want to be able to whittle little sculptures and stuff seems like a cool hobby to have, and I think it would be super fun too, without being too demanding on myself or even that time consuming. I recently have been laser cutting and engraving a lot too so wood working is definitely in the now.
I’ve always been cautious with closed ecosystems because I feel that it often leads to some parts being subpar but being unable to get rid of the parts you don’t want without losing the parts that you need. That being said, working with parts from many manufacturers would somewhat allow you to customize it as needed. With any system like this the devil is in the details. It needs to interface well with everything that you would want to use it for or it will simply be less effective than managing everything manually. It’s too early to speculate on if this solution will manage to overcome the inherent challenges of connecting many disparate tools and managing them with one software. I for one would find this extremely helpful if it is done right. For that reason while still slightly skeptical about the details I am definitely hopeful for this technology.
