Handling of offcuts
The offcuts produced during processing in productionAssist Cutting can be labeled and registered in materialManager for later use in intelliDivide. Already existing offcuts can be registered with the help of materialAssist Board.
Registration of existing offcuts
Offcuts already present in the storage can be registered with the help of the materialAssist Board.
Add an offcut in the "Store" view
Select the material of which the offcut is made
Adjust length and width before printing the label and registering the offcut
Here, the board material from which the offcut is made is selected first. Length and width are adjusted before labeling.
Registering offcuts in productionAssist Cutting
After selecting the offcut (automatically during processing or manually) in the cutting plan, you can click "Label/confirm/register" to open a dialog for editing the offcut.
Opening the offcut-dialog (2) after selecting the offcut (1) in the cutting pattern
In this dialog you can adjust the length and width (1) if necessary.
Adjustment of length and width (1) before printing the label (2) or registration (3) of the offcut.
When you click on Label & registration (3), a label with a unique number is issued and the offcut is registered for further use in materialManager. The offcut is now automatically displayed in the materialManager as part of the inventory.
If no registration is wanted, simply click on Label & confirm (2) to print a label containing the material and the dimensions.
Note: When using the materialAssist Boards, the offcut can be assigned to a storage location at this point.
View of offcuts in the materialManager
For offcuts registered in productionAssist Cutting, a new entry is automatically created within the associated material. The board code is preceded by an X and is composed of XMaterialcode-LengthxWidth.

Clicking on the input of the offcut opens the detail view. The unique number of the offcut and the creation date are displayed in the "Inventory" tab.

Usage of offcuts in intelliDivide
In intelliDivide, the available boards and offcuts are displayed in the "Boards" tab.

Depending on the settings and the stored material costs, offcuts are used preferentially during optimization in order to keep the inventory of offcuts as small as possible.

Reservation of offcuts in the materialManager
With the transfer of the optimization result to the productionAssist Cutting, the offcuts are reserved for the job (1).

This reduces the available amount (2). Thus, the offcut is no longer available for further optimizations.
Display of the reservation for a job
The name of the processing that requires the offcut, is displayed in the "Allocations" tab.
Note: The reservation can be removed by deleting the job in productionAssist Cutting.
Usage of offcuts in the productionAssist Cutting
The offcut required for a cutting plan can be identified using the Board codes as well as the data on the label.
Note: When using the materialAssist Boards, information on the storage location is also displayed.
Using the offcut for a cutting pattern
Once processing is started, the offcut is removed from the materialManager.
Register waste as offcut
Comparable to an offcut in a cutting plan, waste can also be registered as offcut in the materialManager if required. For this purpose, the waste piece must be selected manually.
