Between the 21st and 23rd October, Weinig UK invites manufacturers, joinery professionals, and mill operators to Weinig Connect 2025, a hands-on technology showcase demonstrating how the latest Weinig System Plus solutions can enhance productivity, precision, and profitability across every stage of the woodworking process.
Following the success of last year’s highly focused ‘Performing with Powermat’ showcase, which drew strong attendance and resulted in a significant uplift in customer engagement and orders, Weinig Connect 2025 builds on this momentum with a much broader business-centric agenda. This year, the emphasis shifts decisively toward profitability, operational efficiency, and sustainable production key issues facing the UK woodworking sector as it navigates rising costs, skills shortages, and increased demand for flexible output.
SOLID Profit from Weinig System Plus
The event theme, SOLID Profit from Weinig System Plus highlights the increasing demand within the woodworking sector to maximise efficiency, reduce waste, and achieve more with fewer resources. In a competitive environment where speed, accuracy, and flexibility are key, Weinig’s fully integrated production system offers a clear path to improved performance and profitability.
At the core of the demonstration is the Weinig System Plus suite, designed to provide a seamless digital thread from profile design to the finished product. By connecting APP SUITE PROFILE MASTER, SOLID GRIND 1000 P, and SOLID PROFILE P 1500, the system supports a production workflow that is more efficient, precise, and resource-conscious than traditional methods.
Why this matters to your business
APP SUITE PROFILE MASTER allows design engineers to create CAD drawings quickly and efficiently, which can be shared with clients for pre-production sign-off. This eliminates the need to machine test pieces unnecessarily and drastically reduces material waste. For businesses working on bespoke or high-specification projects, the ability to send digital profiles for client approval, before a single cut is made, is a complete game-changer.
These approved profiles are then transferred directly to the SOLID GRIND 1000 P, which grinds the knives automatically and without supervision.
Unlike conventional manual grinding, the process is fully automated and offers micron-level precision. Toolroom staff are no longer tied to repetitive tasks and can be deployed more strategically, improving productivity and reducing downtime.
Most significantly, the accuracy of the knives produced by the SOLID GRIND 1000 P has been shown to allow feedspeed increases of up to 10%, without compromising surface quality. That alone offers a clear and measurable gain in output capacity with no additional machinery or headcount.
The system comes into its own with the SOLID PROFILE P 1500, which enables double the feedspeed of a conventional moulder while delivering identical, if not superior finish quality. Fast, repeatable profile changeovers reduce the barrier to accepting smaller, customised runs making once-unprofitable short orders a viable and lucrative option.
Lean, scalable, and future-ready
In real-world production environments, businesses operating with a SOLID PROFILE P 1500 have been able to replace two to three older moulders, freeing up valuable factory space and simplifying logistics. Fewer machines mean fewer extraction points, contributing to a significant reduction in electricity consumption and associated energy costs, a major consideration in today’s market.
The system enables true just-in-time production, where materials and components are produced or delivered only as needed. This significantly reduces inventory costs and minimises waste. Work in progress (WIP) is kept to a minimum, freeing up valuable space and capital. As a result, cash is released back into the business, a clear demonstration of improved profitability.
There’s also a sustainability case to be made. With reduced waste, lower energy usage, and fewer rework cycles thanks to first-time-right accuracy, the Weinig System Plus aligns with the growing demand for environmentally responsible manufacturing.
A complete system with open compatibility
Another critical advantage for those attending Weinig Connect 2025 is the versatility of the system. The complete solution is fully compatible with all major tooling systems, making integration into existing workflows far simpler than many assume. Whether your factory uses traditional systems, or has already started down the path of digitisation, Weinig’s modular approach means you can adopt components at your own pace, without sacrificing results.
Attendees will have access to a knowledgeable technical team, with live demonstrations of each system component. Printed FAQs and application sheets will offer in-depth insights into both software and hardware capabilities. The event is not only a chance to see the full system in action, but also an opportunity to ask detailed questions about production efficiency, system integration, and return on investment, all the issues that matter most to business owners and operators.
See it. Understand it. Invest with confidence.
For furniture and joinery professionals looking to get ahead of the curve, Weinig Connect 2025 offers more than a showcase of machines it offers a clear business case for investing in technology that pays for itself. Whether you're aiming to reduce your cost per linear metre, handle greater product variation, or improve lead times without sacrificing quality, Weinig’s System Plus gives you the tools to make it happen.
