Boards
Various details and additional information can be stored for each board type. By clicking in the row of a board type, you will get to the following view.
A field is displayed only if information is available.

Material
Several similar board types can be combined into a group by using the material code. These are interchangeable and usually only differ in terms of length, width and, if applicable, the manufacturer.
| Feature | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Materialcode | MDF-19-BEECH | Reference for accessing the material in other applications (e.g. intelliDivide) |
| Category | Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) | Category for identifying the machining parameters (e.g. tooth feed rate). |
| Coating | Melamine | Important information for the processing parameters (e.g. saw blade projection) |
| Thickness (mm) | 19 |
The material code is used as a reference in many applications (e.g. intelliDivide, productionManager). Therefore, it is often constructed according to the {category}-{thickness}-{color} scheme.
Note: Do not use special characters (, ; " | ~) when creating the material code. Especially when exchanging data with other programs based on a CSV file, problems may occur otherwise.
Board type
| Feature | Example |
|---|---|
| Board code | MDF-19-BEECH-2800x2070 |
| Length (mm) | 2800 |
| Width (mm) | 2070 |
| Grain | Longitudinal |
| Costs (€ / m²) | 10,5 |
The board code is often constructed according to the scheme MaterialCode}-{length x width}. Do not assign a board code twice.
Tip: In our sample data exel file in the secion import material types, you will find an excel file in the zip-folder which includes a formular to calculate the board code automatically.
The dimensions of the standard sizes are often abbreviated.
| Size | Dimensions | Abbreviation |
|---|---|---|
| Half size | 2800mm x 2070mm | HF |
| Full size | 5600mm x 2070mm | VF |
Offcuts are usually preceded by an "X" in the board code. As a result, a separate board code is usually assigned for each offcut, since the dimensions differ.
The dimensions unit as well as the currency can be adjusted in the configuration.
The grain of the board determines the direction in which the parts can be placed in the panel for the cutting plan optimization.
The costs are considered in the intelliDivide optimization software when calculating the cutting plans. For high-quality material, solutions with low waste are preferred. With inexpensive material, the focus is on production speed.
Manufacturer
| Feature | Example |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | e.g. SwissKrono, Egger, Kaindl, Pfleiderer a.o. |
| Decor name | e.g. Gladstone Eiche sandbeige |
| Product name | e.g.. Gladstone Eiche |
| Decor code | H3309 ST28 |
| Part number | supplier-specific, e.g. 90023349192813 |
The manufacturer information can be used for ordering the material. The deposit of the data is optional.
Additional data
Additional data board type
| Feature | Example |
|---|---|
| Decor | Decor picture of the material |
| Remarks | Example of remarks: Scratch sensitive surface, ordered for commission Müller, matching edge band: 046.1297. ABS edge Gladstone Oak Sand wood grain |
The decor is displayed in many applications and on machines. The display enables a quick comparison of the order with the material at hand. Mixing up of materials is thus prevented.
The operator receives a note when processing the material. The field can also be used for further processing information.
Note: When searching in the application, the field is also taken into account.
In addition, further documents (e.g. technical data sheets) can be stored in the app as additional information.
