HOMAG's digital products simplify processes from work preparation to production and beyond to assembly. Each product provides support in a very specific application. The networking of the products with each other simplifies collaboration along the entire value chain. For example, productionAssist Cutting reports the respective status of a part to productionManager. The productionManager accesses the material management system, the materialManager, to query the material inventory. The cutting optimization intelliDivide sends cutting plans directly to a saw or to productionAssist Cutting.

Interfaces are available to enable the networking of HOMAG's digital products with other applications such as industry solutions, ERP and CAD/CAM systems. A steadily growing number of partners have already integrated these into their products. For example, it is possible to send an order to productionManager directly from the CAD/CAM system smartWOP.

The HOMAG File Agent can be used for simple exchange using files (Excel, CSV, etc.). This can monitor directories. For example, as soon as a parts list has been exported from an upstream system, it can be automatically imported into productionManager or intelliDivide.

To make it easier to use optimisation results from intelliDivide on machines without a tapio connection, you can transfer them to the appropriate directory on your machine. After sending an optimisation solution from intelliDivide, the HOMAG File Agent takes over the automatic transfer to the correct directory - there is no need to manually download, move and, if necessary, unpack the files. 

The open interface HOMAG Connect enables the seamless integration of HOMAG applications into your existing business processes and systems such as ERP systems, industry solutions or inventory management systems.
