Guangzhou, China – February 4, 2026 – The drafting workshop for the national industry standard "Terminology for Panel Furniture Machinery," organized by the National Technical Committee on Wood-based Panel Machinery Standardization, was successfully convened in Guangzhou today. The event brought together experts, scholars, and representatives from leading academic institutions, research organizations, and industry enterprises to advance the standardization of terminology within the panel furniture machinery sector. As a recognized leader in woodworking dust removal and intelligent manufacturing solutions, SMT was specially invited by Beijing Forestry University to participate in the drafting and review process of this pivotal industry standard.
Standardized terminology forms the foundation for technical exchange and industrial collaboration. With the panel furniture machinery industry rapidly evolving toward greater intelligence and sustainability, inconsistencies in terminology and unclear definitions for key equipment, processes, and technical parameters have emerged as potential barriers to innovation, international alignment, and supply chain coordination. The development of the "Terminology for Panel Furniture Machinery" standard aims to establish a clear, precise, and internationally compatible terminological framework. This initiative will provide a unified linguistic reference for industry design, production, trade, services, and policy formulation, significantly contributing to the high-quality and sustainable development of the sector.
Since its establishment, SMT has been dedicated to pioneering R&D and the practical application of dust removal and environmental control systems for woodworking machinery. The company possesses profound experience in supporting the intelligent upgrading and environmental retrofitting of panel furniture production lines worldwide. Leveraging over 15 years of industry expertise and project experience spanning more than 30 countries, SMT has developed a comprehensive technological portfolio and deep contextual understanding of terminology related to dust removal systems, intelligent control units, and energy optimization solutions integrated with panel furniture manufacturing lines. Participation in this standard-drafting process not only serves as authoritative recognition of SMT's industry influence and technical proficiency but also underscores the drafting committee's emphasis on practical industrial experience.
During the workshop, SMT's technical experts engaged in rigorous discussions with representatives from Beijing Forestry University, the Chinese Academy of Forestry, and other leading enterprises. The discussions focused on the definitions, classifications, and functional descriptions of key machinery such as panel saws, edge banders, and CNC drilling/milling centers, as well as related auxiliary equipment including dust removal systems and intelligent control modules. Drawing from its extensive expertise in environmental equipment and smart manufacturing integration—particularly in the synergistic management of equipment, environment, and energy consumption—SMT provided constructive recommendations to enhance the accuracy, practicality, and scalability of numerous proposed terms.
"Participating in the drafting of an industry standard marks a significant step for a company—from implementing standards to helping define them," stated the SMT representative at the workshop. "Terminology standardization is a vital indicator of an industry's modernization and global integration. We are honored to contribute SMT's accumulated experience and technical insights from global projects to this effort, supporting the development of a scientific, open, and future-oriented terminological system that strengthens the voice of 'Intelligent Manufacturing from China' in the global industrial chain."
This involvement in drafting a national industry standard further solidifies SMT's leadership in environmental technology for the panel furniture machinery sector. Moving forward, SMT remains committed to its philosophy of "Innovation Driven, Standards Led," actively contributing to the development of industry ecosystems. By leveraging technical expertise to advance standards and applying these standards to empower industrial upgrading, SMT will continue to collaborate with global partners to pioneer a new era of green, intelligent, and efficient development in panel furniture manufacturing.
