The SWISS KRONO PLANNING TOOL, also called the Timber Planner, is a highly effective online tool that the company has created for architects, planners, engineers, and users. It makes it easy to identify the right timber component for a given project. Various filters let you specify the German state, building class, component, and applicable acoustic insulation and fire protection rules to quickly identify the right products.

Digitisation has been an increasingly important issue in the wood construction industry for some time. Wood construction quite frequently takes a pioneering role, and in hardly any other area of building is the degree of automation as high as it is in construction using wood and wood materials. Since digital processes are now standard in prefabrication, this means that architects, planners and engineers also face considerable challenges.

Therefore, SWISS KRONO gets focused on the smart solutions for digital planning and the planning tool or timber planner is the most desirable example of it.
