Claim 0:
1. A method for handling a coating material for application to a side of a workpiece, the method comprising:
marking the coating material with a mark identifying first information relating to the coating material;
storing the first information relating to the coating material on a cloud-based server;
detecting the mark identifying the first information relating to the coating material, wherein the first information relating to the coating material becomes accessible via the cloud-based server to a processing operator for performing a processing operation on the workpiece using a coating apparatus;
storing second information relating to the coating material on the cloud-based server after detecting the mark and after initiation of the processing operation, wherein the second information comprises processing data relating to the coating material, the processing data of the second information comprising one or more of: a melting temperature of an adhesive agent, a melting temperature of an adhesive layer of the coating material, a contact pressure, a curing time of the adhesive agent, a curing time of the adhesive layer, or a quality assessment of the coating material;
after processing the coating material, storing the processing data on the cloud-based server; and
determining optimized processing data or processing algorithms based on a plurality of second information stored on the cloud-based server;
wherein each of the plurality of second information comprises a respective processing data associated with a specific coating material or a batch of workpieces, the plurality of second information comprises the stored second information, and the determined optimized processing data or processing algorithms are usable as updated first information or are storable on the cloud-based server as updated first information that is usable in a closed-loop between the processing operator and the cloud-based server.
