A multifunctional gateway unit may connect at least one apparatus, which is in particular used for machining, handling or storing workpieces that preferably consist of, at least in portions, of wood, wooden materials, or plastic. The multifunctional gateway unit may include, at least one data interface for connecting the gateway unit to a data server; at least one computing unit which comprises a CPU and is designed to interchange data with the data interface; at least one sensor interface which is designed to receive data from a sensor, which is associated with the apparatus, and to forward the data to the computing unit; and/or at least one output interface which is designed to receive data from the computing unit and to forward the data to at least one unit of the apparatus.

Multifunctional gateway unit, production system and method for operating a production system

The present invention relates to a method for monitoring a manufacturing process, comprising the steps of: detecting a workpiece with a sensor unit of a portable device, sending the information acquired by the sensor unit to a database and applying a workpiece-specific data set, detecting the workpiece before, during and/or after carrying out a machining step or a handling step on the workpiece by the sensor unit of the portable device, updating the data set stored in the database before, during and/or after carrying out a machining step or handling step on the workpiece. The manufacturing process can, for example, relate to the machining of a board-shaped workpiece, such as a solid wooden board, a chipboard, a MDF board, a HDF board, or a workpiece made of another wood material.

Method and system for monitoring a manufacturing process and creating and updating a workpiece-specific data set

The invention relates to a method for operating a pass-through machine (), in particular a pass-through machine which is provided for use in the manufacture of furniture and components, and to a pass-through machine. In the method, a supplied workpiece (W) is first detected and/or identified using a workpiece detection device (); handling information (HI) is then output using an information device () on the basis of the detected information of the workpiece detection device (); whereupon an operator of the pass-through machine () carries out a handling process on or with the workpiece (W) according to the output handling information (HI); and the handled workpiece (W) is then supplied to a machining device () of the pass-through machine () using a supply device ().

Method for operating a pass-through machine and a pass-through machine for edge machining and trimming of workpieces

The invention relates to a processing machine () or method for processing substantially plate-shaped work pieces (W), preferably made at least partially from wood, wood materials, composite materials or plastics, wherein the processing machine () has a processing device () for processing a work piece (W) in a processing direction (R), an optical detection device (), an evaluation unit and a control device (), wherein: the optical detection device () is designed and configured in such a way that it can optically detect front and rear (in relation to the processing direction ()) end sections (Q, Q) of a work piece (W) to be processed, and it provides the evaluation unit with corresponding detection results; the evaluation unit is designed in such a way that it assesses, based on the detection results, whether a coating (B) is present on the front and/or rear end section (Q, Q) of the work piece (W) to be processed, and provides the control device () with corresponding assessment results; and the control device is designed in such a way that it controls the further processing of the work piece (W) to be processed via the processing device () on the basis of the assessment results.
