About

materialAssist

Features
Read full description

Would you like to keep an overview of your material in the workplace? Would you like to avoid the search for the right material (e.g. edgebands)? With the materialAssist you always know where all your edgebands are and how much material per type is still available at the workplace. At the same time, you can have the exact location of the edgeband that you want to process next located. In the future we will expand this function - then you can also use the HOMAG materialAssist to manage your plate remnants, for example. materialAssist Edge for edge band management Clear management of your edgebands: Document all storage and retrieval and always know how much edging material you still have at the workplace. LED display for optimal organization: Reduce your set-up times by changing edges faster and avoid searching for edge strips. LEDs show you the storage space on the edge shelf and mark the edge on the shelf that is to be processed next (pick by light). Time saving in label printing: Print the edging tape label directly from the app and thus label your edges. The free construction plan for the edgeband shelf (for organizing and storing the edgebands) is available for download free of charge: homag.com/edgebandmanagement
