If so, please create it in tapio first, see the instructions: [How do I add a machine?](https://www.tapio.one/help/wie-fuege-ich-eine-maschine-hinzu) The connection between your machine and tapio is then automated. You can then find your machine in the intelliDivide menu and select it directly for your optimization tasks via dropdown. ![Hinzufügen einer Maschine](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/config-machine-01-de.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A34%3A55Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A34%3A55Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=st6fdTzKZYWYLASTMH5D7jTPa7KZffktFIRIarvE3Qg%3D) Adding a Machine If your machines are not yet "tapio ready", you can create a machine based on a template.

There you can select the desired machine from the templates. ![Auswahl eines Templates](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/config-machine-02-de.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A34%3A55Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A34%3A55Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=st6fdTzKZYWYLASTMH5D7jTPa7KZffktFIRIarvE3Qg%3D) Choosing a template If your machine is not available as a template, please select one that is closest to your machine. --- ## References ### Management of tapio-ready machines - [https://admin.tapio.one/](https://admin.tapio.one/) ### Configuration of machines
