# First steps

Make your production more efficient and optimize your cutting.

The **productionAssist Cutting** optimizes your process in conjunction with the [intelliDivide](/v1/docs/en/intellidivide-tutorial-erste-schritte) optimization software and enables you to...

- ... the saving of material by optimising the cutting plans
- ... Guided cutting on all cutting saws (including manual saws)
- ... Label printing for the identification of machined parts
- ... the use of production data beyond cutting.

With intelliDivide you can create your optimized cutting plans, which you can then transfer to the **productionAssist Cutting** app at the click of a mouse.

The productionAssist Cutting app then suggests the optimal processing of the cutting plan in the workshop, but you can change it individually at any time. After each step, you mark the corresponding task as completed in the app and automatically print out a self-adhesive label for the created part. The [label](/v1/docs/en/productionassist-cutting-kurz-erklaert-das-steht-auf-dem-etikett) contains all relevant information for the unique identification of each part (e.g. order name, information about the component and the edging or up to two QR codes for the CNC programs).

4. [Processing an order](/v1/docs/en/productionassist-cutting-tutorial-auftrag-bearbeiten)
  - [Selection of a cutting plan](/v1/docs/en/productionassist-cutting-tutorial-auftrag-auswaehlen) within the job
  - Select the first part to be sawn and cut it to size on the saw
  - Print and stick [the label on with a click](/v1/docs/en/productionassist-cutting-kurz-erklaert-das-steht-auf-dem-etikett)
  - Select and cut the other part to be sawn

## productionAssist Cutting

Download the productionAssist app from the [Apple App Store](https://apps.apple.com/de/app/productionassist/id1491213597) or [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details) .

After starting, you will find the productionAssist Cutting in the work center overview. The prerequisite for this is an active [license](/v1/docs/en/productionassist-cutting-kurz-erklaert-lizenzierung).

You can recognize the productionAssist Cutting by the saw blade. Start with the configuration, and once it's complete, you can go to the [job overview](/v1/docs/en/productionassist-cutting-tutorial-auftrag-auswaehlen) with one click and start [working on your first job](/v1/docs/en/productionassist-cutting-tutorial-auftrag-bearbeiten) right away.
