FAQ

Apps

Can the materials also be transferred from an ERP system to the apps?

The materials can be copied and pasted directly from a list or simply imported via the import function.

Can I export my created material lists?

An export of the bill of materials is available for confirmation.

Labels

What information is on the label?

In our example, you can see the information we provide to each label for the edge rolls.

Can I use one label printer for multiple applications/shelves?

In principle, a printer can also be assigned to another app (= assistant app) or another shelf at the same time. This can be set in the configuration dialog (gear wheel at the workstation in the app). However, keep in mind that some apps use different label formats.

Where can I get more label rolls?

You can easily reorder the label rolls via our eShop .
Alternatively, you can obtain the labels elsewhere. Please note the relevant requirements.

Configuration

Can I also integrate pallet spaces and other shelves standing at a distance?

Yes, that's possible. The materialAssist app offers the option of creating compartments without LED support.
You then only attach the QR code with the subject name and create the spaces in the configuration. You can then store material there by scanning or directly selecting it on the tablet.

Can I also create a shelf area in the app without LED support?

Yes, that's possible. The materialAssist app offers the possibility to create compartments without LED light support. You then only attach the QR code with the subject name and create the spaces in the configuration. You can then store material there by scanning or directly selecting it on the tablet.

LED Strips

Can I use my existing shelf and add LED strips?

Yes, that's possible. It is important to note that the LED strips specify a fixed length. However, unlit areas can still be created and managed in the app without any problems. Here you will find the installation dimensions of the components.

How long are the cables to the LED strips? Are there extension cords?

The extension cables of the LED strips are 2.0 m long. You can also add another cable of 2.0 m. The extension cables are available in the HOMAG eShop .

In what lengths are the LED strips available? What is the maximum number of LED strips I can connect?

The LED strips are available in the following lengths and can be combined up to a total length of 6000 mm:

  • 2.00 m

  • 1.40 m

  • 0.50 m

  • 0.16 m

Up to 4 LED strips, each with a total length of 6000 mm, can be connected per LED control box.

Can I expand the shelf with LEDs? Can I also equip a large warehouse with LEDs?

The LED system, which has been available since 2023, makes it possible to connect another LED control box to an output of the LED control box. Since every LED control box has this output, this process can be repeated several times.

With 2 LED control boxes, you can, for example, realize 4 x 6.00 m (1st LED box) + 4 x 6.00 m (2nd LED box) = 48.00 m LED length with one HOMAG .

Other

Can a scan of the label/application papers on the edge banding machine indicate the storage location of the edge material?

Yes, that's possible. When an edge code is scanned with the tablet or with the Bluetooth scanner connected to the tablet, all available roles are displayed. The edge code must be printed on the component label or order papers as a 1D/2D code. When scanning the code, the app searches for the material and activates the LED strips of the matching compartment.

Are the edge boxes that are often shown part of the set?

No. The boxes are not necessary for working with the edge shelf. They represent an optional added value, as the edges can also be stored in the cardboard to protect them from dirt, damage and UV radiation. The edge boxes are not yet available.

Is it possible to report the consumption of the edge material directly from the machine to the app?

Yes, this is possible for certain HOMAG series. The prerequisite is woodCommander 5. But you are also very flexible in use in connection with other machines. You can simply continue to use your machining programs on the machine as before. You then enter the consumption directly into the app when you put the edge tape back on the shelf. Alternatively, you can have the remaining length automatically calculated by measuring the outer and inner diameter of the roll. This means that edge management can be used for any type of machine.
