Configuration
The productionAssist Cutting app is part of the cutting assistant "Cutting Production Set".
Before first use, the components of the set must be launched. As soon as the commissioning is completed, the configuration of the app can be started by clicking on "Configure".
After the first configuration, the "Configure" button turns into a gear wheel. Here you can make additional settings later.
Starting the configuration
The app guides you through the configuration in individual steps.
Step 1: Customize the name of the workstation
In the first step, the name (1) of the workstation can be customized. Assigning a name that is as meaningful as possible makes it easier to select later in the overview.
Additionally you have the option to activate "Last workstation, status is set to completed" (2). This automatically sets the status of the parts which pass through this workstation to completed after completion.

Step 2: Configuration of the scanner
Next, you have the option to integrate a scanner. This is optional but it makes working with the application easier. We have listed some recommended models in the Devices & Hardware section. You can find detailed instructions on adding a scanner here. If you do not wish to integrate a scanner, you can proceed to the next step by clicking on "Continue without scanner". You can add additional devices at a later time by reopening the configuration.

Step 3: Configuration of the HOMAG CUBE
Now you connect the HOMAG CUBE to the app.
The HOMAG CUBE can be added by scanning the label on the rearside. The tablet (or the bluetooth scanner connected in the previous step) can be used for this purpose.
Adding a HOMAG CUBE
Scan the QR code on the back of the CUBE with your tablet. Please use the large QR code on the right side of the label.

After the HOMAG CUBE has been successfully added, select the required printer to be used at this workstation.
Step 4: Configuration of the printer
The integration of a printer is necessary for the printing of labels. The devices connected to the HOMAG CUBE are displayed for selection in the next step.
It is also possible to select a printer that is connected to another HOMAG CUBE at another workstation. Please take into account the size of the labels inserted in the device. It is possible, e.g. to use the printer of the productionAssist Cutting as well for the materialAssist Boards.
Selection of a printer
Configuration of the printer
Before using the printer, it is necessary to select the label size (1) and calibrate it (2).
The printing can be verified by outputting a test label (3). The alignment can be modified, if necessary, by adjusting the spacing (4).
Selecting the label size
After setting up the printer, you can select a label design. 2 different label designs are offered in the standard.
Tip: You can upload your company logo in my.tapio.one so that it appears on your labels.
