At the top of the app's view, you can find important data about the open job in the overview: - Job Name - Number of parts - Number of plates required - Status ## Choosing a nesting plan Under the "Nesting Plans" tab, the plans to be edited are graphically displayed. Information about the plate is displayed for each sheet. If the data has been stored in [the materialManager](/v1/docs/en/materialmanager-tutorial-hinzufuegen-eines-materialtyps) , the décor is also displayed. ![Übersicht über die Nestingpläne](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/02-productionAssist-Nesting-UEbersicht-Auftrag-DE.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A46%3A51Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A46%3A51Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=%2FyrTsh4KTbo6344Y0EuJ2ss%2FiHmf5MH%2BegYy8w5ee90%3D) Overview of nesting plans You can narrow down the displayed plans using filters, for example according to the material used and the processing status. This is particularly interesting if the panels are in a picking system defined by your supplier, which you want/have to follow. If you manage your material inventory with [materialAssist](/v1/docs/en/materialassist-news) Boards, cutting plans of a panel type are marked with a **warning triangle (1)** as soon as there are not enough panels for this production order in the warehouse. The **available** and the **required number (2)** of the plates are shown in brackets after the plate code. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/productionAssist-Nesting-process-order-01-en.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A46%3A51Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A46%3A51Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=%2FyrTsh4KTbo6344Y0EuJ2ss%2FiHmf5MH%2BegYy8w5ee90%3D) To start editing, select a plan. You can deviate from the order suggested by the intelliDivide optimization software. ## Choosing a Slab / Rests First, you choose which plate or remnant you want to use for the cutting plan. The available plates or leftovers are displayed with the respective storage locations and the available quantity. ![Auswahl einer Platte aus dem materialAssist Boards](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/03-productionAssist-Nesting-Etikettieren-Starten-DE.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A46%3A51Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A46%3A51Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=%2FyrTsh4KTbo6344Y0EuJ2ss%2FiHmf5MH%2BegYy8w5ee90%3D) Selection of a panel from the materialAssist boards If you want to use a plate that has not been registered in materialAssist, select the **Material not posted** option . You can then start labeling. If a panel or a remnant has been selected, it is posted as removed in the [materialAssist Board](/v1/docs/en/materialassist-news) when cutting starts. ## Labeling With productionAssist Nesting, you have two options for printing the labels: 1. Print all the labels of a nesting plan at once. 2. Print part by part. To do this, click on the component that is to be labeled in the interactive nesting plan. ![Alle Etiketten eines Plans ausdrucken](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/04-productionAssist-Nesting-Alle-Etiketten-Drucken-DE.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A46%3A51Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A46%3A51Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=%2FyrTsh4KTbo6344Y0EuJ2ss%2FiHmf5MH%2BegYy8w5ee90%3D) Print all labels of a sheet ![Werkstück im Nest auswählen und Einzeletikett drucken](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/05-productionAssist-Nesting-Einzel-Etiketten-Drucken-DE.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A46%3A51Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A46%3A51Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=%2FyrTsh4KTbo6344Y0EuJ2ss%2FiHmf5MH%2BegYy8w5ee90%3D) Select the workpiece in the nest and print the individual label ![Übersicht bereits etikettierter Bauteile im Nest](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/06-productionAssist-Nesting-Einzel-Etiketten-Drucken-Fortschritt-DE-.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A46%3A51Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A46%3A51Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=%2FyrTsh4KTbo6344Y0EuJ2ss%2FiHmf5MH%2BegYy8w5ee90%3D) Overview of already labeled components in the nest The productionAssist guides you through the necessary steps. All labeled and/or confirmed workpieces in the nest are shown in light gray. The status of the job changes to "started". For easy assignment from the label to the component, the components in the nest are numbered consecutively. The same number is printed on the label. ![Zuordnung des Etiketts zum Bauteil](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/06a-productionAssist-Nesting-Etikett.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A46%3A51Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A46%3A51Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=%2FyrTsh4KTbo6344Y0EuJ2ss%2FiHmf5MH%2BegYy8w5ee90%3D) Assignment of the label to the component --- ## References ### Links - [This is what it says on the label](/v1/docs/en/productionassist-nesting-kurz-erklaert-das-steht-auf-dem-etikett)
