What cells can do for you

Why change anything?
Things are fine as they are
The world is moving faster and faster. The constant flow of new technology meansthat change is coming ever more rapidly. This is transforming our day-to-day lives,
both at work and at home. If we want to remain successful long into the future, itis essential to keep pace with technological advances and keep a close eye on thetrends that shape our industry. Once an advantage is lost, regaining it can often
take a lot of time and effort. With this in mind, it is better to think about tomorrow
today and choose the right solution to stay number one.
We can help you here with a variety of options and approaches. From hardware andsoftware to service, connection solutions and digital assistants, we have exactly
what you need.

What cells can do for you

A new way to boost your workshop
Get more from your workshop
EVERY DAY, YOU NEED TO TAKE TIME FOR THINGS LIKE PLANNING, CHECKING, SEARCHING AND ADMINISTRATIONBETWEEN THE INDIVIDUAL STAGES OF PRODUCTION. THESE AUXILIARY TASKS CAN TAKE UP WELL OVER 50 % OF YOURPRODUCTION TIME.
This is where we come in. Our artificial intelligence can help you create more value and optimize your processes.

FASTER PRODUCTIONGROW POTENTIAL+++PERFORMANCEPERFORMANCE

Processing orders more quickly allows you to start the next job
sooner. This means you get more done in the same amount of time.
Example: The app can conveniently handle the entire edge bandmanagement, making the painstaking search for edges a thing of
the past (see page 27).

BOOST OUTPUT

+++
TASKS

Your team is available for new tasks earlier or can take on additionaltasks. This allows you to get more out of your business with thesame headcount.
Example: A robot feeds the CNC intelligently, unstacks according
to the order and hands over to a transport robot, all with excellent
handling quality and even long after the end of the working day ifnecessary (from page 34).

INCREASE QUALITY+++OUTPUTTASKSOUTPUT

Targeted improvements to cutting waste, for example, can help you
get more from your material. This means Same input - more output.
Example: Use the app to optimize cutting plans in seconds andtransfer the new parameters directly to the machine. This is the easy
way to make your business more efficient (see pages 14 and 24).

+++QUALITYQUALITY

Workpiece tracking and plausibility checks help you avoid easy
mistakes. Push notifications from the machine to the operator allow
for quick reactions and help regulate the process.
Example: The app lets you see where your workpiece is at all times.
It makes part tracking easy, giving you a constant overview on yoursmart device wherever you are (see page 13).

What cells can do for you

From maps to satellites
It used to be that if you wanted to know the way somewhere, you had to pore overa map or ask someone on the street. Today, all we have to do is take our phonefrom our pocket and we have all the necessary information about the route at our
fingertips. If an obstacle blocks our path, we receive alternative suggestions in realtime to help us find another way to our destination. We’ve been happily using thesetools in our everyday lives for years, so why not use them in business too?

WHY CELLS? WHY NETWORKED CONNECTION?
THE BENEFITS ARE OBVIOUS
We use the term “cell” to refer to the connection of machinery and software along
the production process in an operation. Apps can also support the work steps andorganization in the business in order to further improve the production process.
APPS – SMALL BUT MIGHTYHOW CAN DIGITAL PRODUCTS AND APPS MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR
BUSINESS?

··Get it done faster!

Fewer low-value activities mean you can get jobs done quicker

··Get started sooner!

Get processing the next orders earlier and allocate staff to additional tasks. Waitingtimes are also minimized.

··Wherever and whenever you need it!

Access all the data you need at any time and from anywhere on your smartphoneor tablet··Less really is more!

Optimize cutting easily to reduce waste and get more from the unfinished panel··Even better!

Increase process quality – with transparency and digital part tracking that help you
avoid simple errors. Machines report anomalies proactively via the app

··React quickly!

Having the relevant analysis data and evaluations available at the push of a button
allows you to make changes faster. This lets you make quick adjustments for
optimization, for example

All of our apps are neutral. This means that you can also use them for non-HOMAG
machines.

FAQs

FAQs | Digital solutions
THE BASICS
What are “digital products”?
We use the term “digital products” to refer to our latest generation of smart software and hardware. These are mainly apps and digital systems
that make life in the workshop easier at various points. When it comes to hardware, we don’t just mean the machines themselves, but alsothings like intelligent sorting shelves.
What is the difference between tapio apps and digital products from HOMAG?
tapio apps offer you basic functions for the machinery and service environment (such as transparency over your machine park and service
solutions). HOMAG’s digital products provide assistance in your order and production processes, while also offering smart hardware such as
intelligent sorting shelves.
BASIS & COMPATIBILITY
Why does HOMAG use a cloud solution?
HOMAG uses the cloud for its new digital products so that you do not have to invest valuable working time installing and maintaining softwareand hardware. Above all, you save time spent on maintenance, as the apps are automatically updated via the cloud.
Another benefit of cloud-based software solutions is that they can be used on virtually any mobile device and do not require particularly highprocessing power. That is because we take care of this for you in the cloud.
What do I need in order to use these apps?
Our digital products are browser-based applications. This means they can be used regardless of your operating system and on various different
end devices, from PCs and laptops to tablets and smartphones.
What do I need in order to use the apps on a PC?
If you want to use the apps on your PC and laptop, all you need is an up-to-date browser and an internet connection with a bandwidth of atleast 16 MBit/s (min. DSL 16,000). We recommend using Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.
What do I need in order to use the apps on a mobile end device?
Wireless use on your tablet or smartphone in the workshop requires a WiFi network. If you wish to use the products via a mobile network
provider, this should provide a bandwidth of at least 3G (UMTS/LTE). The functions of the apps may be somewhat limited on smartphones dueto the smaller screen.
Can I integrate digital products into my existing software environment?
Yes, our products are designed to be easily integrated into your existing software environment without the need for cost-intensive adjustments.
Flexible data import means that you can easily transfer your cutting data to our digital order folder or cutting optimization system, for example.
The cabinetCreator (see page 12) provides MPR programs that you can process on virtually any CNC machine.
Are my existing machines compatible with the digital products in the concepts?
Here are a few common scenarios:
Scenario 1: You do not have a HOMAG machine. No problem, our apps function regardless of the machine. For example, you can use theintelliDivide cutting optimization system (page 26) with your manual panel saw.

··

··Scenario 2: You have some HOMAG machines in your machine park. We can offer additional functions for these machines. For example, if
your SAWTEQ panel dividing saw is registered on the tapio platform, we can automatically apply many of the settings. After optimization, theproduction data is transferred directly to the machine.

··Scenario 3: You use only HOMAG machines. This means you can exploit the full potential of our digital products. All machines registeredon the tapio platform can communicate with the apps. You can use the toolManager to manage all of your tools and transfer their parameters
directly to the machine, for example. This is also true for edge band materials, for example, which you can administer in the materialManager
and whose parameters you can transfer to your EDGETEQ.

As you can see, these apps can offer real benefits even if you don’t use HOMAG machines. But when combined with our machinery, they cangive you even more.

49

Can I invest in the machines and digital solutions gradually or do I have to buy a complete concept at once?
We let you take the journey to your complete concept step by step with individual modules. You can decide to purchase individual machines,
smart hardware, software or digital assistants that communicate with each other. You can then integrate them into your operations where youneed them. Most of our digital products can function independently of each other.

DATA PROTECTION & PRIVACY
Is my data safe in the cloud?
Absolutely. Our digital products fulfill all data protection requirements. Our apps use the Azure platform from Microsoft, with multiple redundant
systems. All communication with machinery and in the browser is encrypted. Our privacy notice provides further information about how yourdata is used and protected. You can read this at www.homag.com/privacy.
How is my data protected against unauthorized access?
All communication with machinery and in the browser is encrypted. Your data is saved on professionally protected cloud infrastructure that isregularly checked and certified according to market standards for IT security.
Which data is collected and processed?
Data is also collected and transferred to us by tapio, in order to provide services. This data is primarily your user name, user contact data andmachine data (master data, process data), which is required in order to provide services. Your data is anonymized or pseudonymized when it isused to optimize services and to modify machinery and processes.

DATA STORAGE
Where is my data saved?
Your data is saved in the cloud in an area specially set up for you. The term cloud refers to a type of IT infrastructure provided via the internet.
We use the Azure cloud servers from Microsoft. Our servers are located in Europe and are therefore subject to strict European data protection
regulations.
Where is my output data (such as the optimized cutting plans) stored?
All data is stored in the cloud in an area specially set up for you. You can save output data like MPR programs or cutting plans locally on yourPC or laptop and distribute it from there.
Which data protection regulations are applied when processing my data?
Your data is processed in line with the strict European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Among other things, this means that you canhave your data deleted completely should you wish.
