Using the results

The selected solution can be used depending on the existing machine, its software version and its connection to tapio.

Cutting plans can be transferred to a saw either directly or via a directory share. They can also be printed or used in productionAssist Cutting.

Nesting plans can also be transferred to a CNC machine via a directory share or used in productionAssist Nesting.

Transferring via HOMAG File Agent

If the selected machine is not connected to tapio, you can determine your preferred method for data transfer. By default, downloading the optimization solution is enabled.

Alternatively, you can directly transfer optimization solutions to the relevant directory on your machine. This is accomplished via HOMAG File Agent, which saves you from having to move the optimization results manually. To use this feature, select the "HOMAG File Agent" option for data transfer in the machine parameters settings.

Select HOMAG File Agent as the data transfer type

Select HOMAG File Agent as the data transfer type

Within the HOMAG File Agent, select the intelliDivide Cutting or intelliDivide Nesting app as needed. For the selected machine, select "Transfer machine optimization". In addition, specify the directory to which the optimization results are to be transferred.

This allows you to specify the directory in which you want to save the optimization results from intelliDivide for each individual machine.

When you send an optimization solution from intelliDivide to a machine connected via tapio or transfer it using the HOMAG File Agent, the status of the optimization will first change to "Is being transferred".

Once the transfer is complete, the file will immediately be available in the selected directory on your machine.

Note: If the machine or the HOMAG File Agent cannot be reached, the system will attempt to perform the transfer for 24 hours. If the transfer is not successful within this period, the process will be marked as failed.

Sending to productionAssist Cutting / Nesting

If you use productionAssist Cutting in your company, you can send the optimization results directly to the app.
