Plan your factory ↗South Africa’s complete woodworking automation partner
From a single CNC machine to a fully connected smart factory: Excitech machinery, CabSync software and South African implementation from one accountable team.
NEW-GENERATION EDGE BANDING
Excitech’s 2026 G70 moves edge-band setup toward coordinated full-servo control: parameters can be stored and recalled for changing panels and edge materials, reducing dependence on repeated manual adjustment.
ONE CONNECTED MANUFACTURING ECOSYSTEM
THE WAG DIFFERENCE
From the first customer consultation to the final installed cabinet, every handoff matters. We connect machinery, people and data so your whole operation moves as one.
START AT THE RIGHT LEVEL
Choose the starting point that matches the factory you operate today. Every stage should solve a measurable problem now while protecting the next investment.
Replace the machine or manual process that is limiting quality, output or reliability today.
Combine machinery with loading, labelling, return, conveying or sorting so operators stop feeding every step.
Engineer material flow, machinery and CabSync data around batch-size-one manufacturing and visible capacity.
THE WAG PROJECT STANDARD
Global-class machinery deserves global-class implementation. WAG structures the technical and commercial conversation around the factory outcome—not a feature list and a price.
Product families, materials, dimensions, quality standard, batch profile and target output define the machine—not the other way around.
Machine configuration, tooling, extraction, loading, returns, conveyors, sorting and safety are mapped as one production system.
Footprint, utilities, access, foundations, material routes and operator zones are checked before equipment reaches the floor.
CabSync, barcodes, production data and interfaces are scoped around the information each process needs to receive and return.
Finance assumptions, labour pressure, output upside, implementation costs and risks are made visible before an investment decision.
Installation, commissioning, training, warranty, service escalation and parts arrangements are defined for the supplied project.
Share the current process and WAG can frame the right questions before a machine configuration is discussed.
THE SOUTH AFRICAN AUTOMATION CASE
Labour should create value—not spend every shift carrying boards, turning panels and waiting between disconnected machines. We automate repetitive production tasks so your best people can focus on quality, maintenance, planning and output.
LATEST OFFICIAL EXCITECH FOOTAGE
Recent smart-factory projects show how individual cells scale into continuous, digitally controlled production.
THE LIGHT-BULB MOMENT
Compare repetitive labour, overtime and rework with an indicative asset-finance instalment—then add the gross profit from the extra cabinets your factory could produce.
The numbers suggest the machine could fund itself from released pressure and added capacity—with approximately R 67 100 left each month.
Asset-finance illustration only—not a Nedbank quotation or approval. The entered rate is adjustable; actual pricing, deposit, term, fees and residual depend on Nedbank’s credit assessment and approved structure. Labour changes require lawful consultation and may involve redeployment, attrition or retrenchment costs. VAT, tax, insurance, installation, training and downtime are excluded.

This is where Wood Automation Group can genuinely brag: complete smart cells that remove carrying, waiting, turning, sorting and repeated setup from the factory floor.
Stop paying people to search for, carry and stage full sheets.
Full 58-second process - web optimised, process retainedEngineer this into my factory ↗THE HIDDEN FACTORY
A busy operator is not always a productive operator. Look for the work happening around the machine: walking, waiting, lifting, searching, checking and rewriting information.
The bars are diagnostic prompts—not measured percentages. Use them to identify which activities deserve a proper time study in your factory.
Operators leave their station to find boards, parts, labels, tools or the next job.
Cut parts queue for edging, drilling or sorting while the next department waits for the right batch.
People repeatedly load sheets, rotate panels, return parts and stack finished components.
Parts are remeasured, relabelled or remade because information and component identity were lost upstream.
Supervisors chase job status, rewrite lists and manually tell each department what should run next.
Completed orders wait while cartons are measured, cut, taped and checked by hand.

PACKAGING AUTOMATION — FOR EVERY INDUSTRY
Excitech packaging systems are not limited to woodworking. Any manufacturer shipping mixed-size products can measure, create and seal a right-sized carton on demand—turning repetitive packing labour, excess void fill and transport damage into a controlled production process.
ONE PLATFORM. MANY MARKETS.
If its dimensions change from order to order, the packaging can change with it. Start with carton cutting or connect measurement, conveying, turning and sealing as one line.
Measure or scanCapture dimensions manually, by barcode or from production data.
Make the exact cartonCut and crease corrugated board only when the order needs it.
Pack and seal consistentlyReduce hand cutting, taping, void fill and avoidable damage.
BUILD THE AUTOMATION LEVEL YOU NEED
Start with the process creating today’s bottleneck, then connect the remaining modules as volume grows. WAG engineers the material flow, data hand-off and operator roles around your product mix.

CabSync connects the customer journey, factory workflow and management intelligence around your Excitech machinery—turning isolated equipment into a responsive manufacturing business.
See the connected factory ↗DELIVERY, NOT DROP-OFF
Local accountability at every step—from factory design to the first board and beyond.
ENGINEERED FOR SCALEMachine data → production intelligenceBUILT FROM THE FACTORY FLOOR UP
Wood Automation Group brings together nearly two decades of cabinetry manufacturing experience, established machinery-market relationships and the digital innovation behind CabSync.
That combination means we understand more than specifications. We understand throughput, people, margins, bottlenecks and what it takes to make automation deliver in the real world.
“We do not simply automate machinery. We help automate the manufacturing business.”
LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY, FACTORY DEPTH
WAG coordinates the path from production problem to commissioned system, with Excitech machinery and CabSync designed around the way your factory must operate.
Map products, volumes, people, bottlenecks, material flow and available space before recommending equipment.
Define machine configuration, loading, transfer, extraction, utilities, software and future expansion as one system.
Coordinate site readiness, delivery, placement, commissioning inputs and the route to first production.
Prepare operators and supervisors to run the new workflow safely, consistently and with clear production ownership.
Create a structured path for local assistance, remote diagnostics and escalation to the Excitech factory when required.
Review output, bottlenecks and data after commissioning so the cell can mature with the business.
BEFORE YOU INVEST
Clear answers reduce project risk. These are the questions WAG uses to move a conversation from an impressive machine video to a system that fits the factory.
No. A strong roadmap can begin with one machine or one constrained process. The important step is choosing equipment and layout that do not block the next stage of automation.
Often, but integration must be assessed rather than assumed. WAG reviews dimensions, production data, barcodes, material flow, safety interfaces and the hand-off required between existing and new equipment.
The answer depends on product mix, material and thickness range, part sizes, shift output, tooling, finish standard, available floor space and the work operators perform before and after the machine.
It frames the current bottleneck, required output, suitable automation level, supporting services and the technical questions that must be resolved before a responsible quotation.
Training, commissioning, warranty, service coverage, escalation and parts arrangements are defined for each project. The final proposal should state those commitments clearly instead of relying on generic website promises.
Asset finance may convert a capital purchase into a monthly production cost, subject to the funder’s approval and structure. The website calculator is an initial planning tool—not a quotation or guaranteed saving.
CabSync is the digital layer connecting customer, order, production and management information. Its exact scope is mapped around your current software, operational process and machinery integration requirements.
Bring a product list, typical dimensions and materials, current machinery, people per shift, output, rework or overtime pressure, factory layout and the growth target the new system must unlock.
