Wood Energy Cooperative association

With purpose of further promoting Miyazaki’s unique Obisugi (a variation of Japanese cedar), we produce laminated lumber and desiccants to be used as construction materials good for everything from homes to large domes. By introducing a biomass private power generation system, the Wood Energy supplies the energy (e.g. electricity and heat) needed for its production. This is a part of the movement to establish a recycle-oriented society with advanced ecological technology, making the factory friendly to both the environment and people.

Concepts/benefits

  • Securing space, improving storage efficiency
  • Cost cutting (forklifts and labor cost))
  • Ensuring first-come-first-serve operation
  • Digitizing and managing enormous amounts of timber-related data
  • Ensuring safety and preventing the collapse of cargos
  • Securing quality (preventing damage to freight)
  • Improving efficiency of timber handling between the first and second floor
