Advances in automation and robotics in construction also affect wood-based constructions. To some extent, scale and complexity, this transformation will be as fundamental to humanity as no other technological change in the past. In the context of sustainable and efficient construction, traditional material bases such as wood are becoming increasingly prevalent and implemented in modern design processes and design solutions. The great potential of this building material is achieved due to developments in production as well as the actual construction of timber buildings. Especially through prefabricated and solid wood products, which are also cross-glued laminated timber products, modern timber construction represents an interesting and sustainable construction technology. The aim of this paper is to define the basic aspects of industrial building industry in the context of new trends and to introduce the possibilities of implementation of elements of industry 4.0 in the field of wood-based construction.
