1 Introduction

WebOpt is an optimization software for nearly any operation system. It can be run from command line(shell) or with web interface. Therefor a browser is required. The solutions are created as PDF files and canbe viewed with Acrobat Reader. At the moment the following optimization types are supported:

1.1 Cutting

Bars [1D].• Panels [2D].• Circle (one diameter).• PCB panel (one layout).•

1.2 Palletizing

Unmixed packages (exact). May need more time due to the given problem.• Unmixed packages (fast, a few seconds).• Mixed packages in one layer (same height).• Circle / cylinder (one diameter).•

1.3 Import

XML files.• TXT files.• XLS Excel © 95 or 97 file format.•

1.4 Export

PDF. Full report including panel or pallet scheme. One pdf file.• HTML. Full report including panel or pallet scheme. One html file with PNG image files.• XML. Solution data. One XML file.•

1.5 Key benefits

WebOpt runs in your intranet. Almost no administration needed. Only one software in your network.• WebOpt is cross platform and be accessed from any browser, e.g on a PC, Mac, tablet, ipad orsmartphone.

•

The solution is shown as PDF file and can viewed with Acrobat Reader (or similar software).• WebOpt does NOT depend on a software framework (like MFC/.NET/JAVA). That means oursoftware is very long term avaliable on any future OS.

•

Multicore support. The optimization runs in the background. New data can edited at any time.•

1 Introduction 1

WebOpt can be accessed remotely via GSM/GPRS.• Labels are generated.•

1.6 Customisation

WebOpt can be customized to your needs.

Connection to your ERP / host system.• Connection to your maschine, robot, plc or CNC.• Embed or integrate into your software system.• Support for any OS or CPU, e.g. embedded OS like Windows CE, Linux, vxworks, ECOS or QNX.•

2 Installation

2.1 Windows single user

Start "WebOptSetup.exe" and follow the instructions. Simply click next.

2.2 Windows network

Start "WebOptSetup.exe" and follow the instructions. Simply click next.• The servers default network interface is (0.0.0.0). The default port is 8093. If you are using a firewall,please enable the TCP port 8093 for WebOpt. Then start a browser and typehttp:⁄⁄your-pc-network-name:8093/webopt . Your network name is show in the system control or typehostname in the commandline to get the name. Now the browser shows the first WebOpt page. Thispage can be viewed from any other PC in the network

•

[Optional] Change the port and IP address, e. g. 192.168.178.77 and TCP-Port 80.• [Optional] Start WebOpt from commandline: webopt 192.168.178.77 80. Enable port 80 in yourfirewall.

•

[Optional] Start the browser and type http:⁄⁄192.168.178.77/webopt . For ports other than 80:http:⁄⁄92.168.178.77:/webopt.

•

You need admin rightsto install the server version.

2.3 Android

Install WebOpt directly from google play or install KuehnOpt.apk file by click/touch. If you install the apk file,you must allow other sources than the google play store (security setting).

2.4 Linux / Unix

Untar WebOpt

$ tar -xfp WebOpt.tar.bz2

2.5 Mac OS X

2.5.1 single user

Double click on the webopt-mac-x86.app.zip .

2 Installation 3

Then move the file webopt-mac-x86.app by drag and drop into your programs folder. Now start WebOptwith double click.

2.5.2 Run WebOpt as start object

WebOpt starts automatically after login. Add WebOpt under 'Systemsettings:User' start objects by pressing('+' Button).

2.5.3 Server installation

Install WebOpt as service. WebOpt starts automatically after power on. There no special MAC OS X Serverrequired, a 'normal' MAC (even Mini MAC) is sufficient . The following files are required:

webopt-mac-x86.app.zip• com.kuehn.webopt.plist• startwebopt.gz•

Order of installation

Copy webopt-mac-x86.app in your programs folder (see single user version).1. Copy com.kuehn.webopt.plist into'Macintosh HD:Library:LauchDaemons' folder. Your password will be required.

2.

Reboot the MAC.3. Doubleclick on file startwebopt.gz to decompress. Then start the file startwebopt with doubleclick.Now the WebOpt login is displayed in the browser. Save URL to access the other PCs or Macs inyour network. Example http:⁄⁄macintosh:8093/webopt

4.

[Alternative] Open the Safari Browser after reboot and type http:⁄⁄127.0.0.1:8093/webopt . Any otherPC or Mac accesses WebOpt with http:⁄⁄YourMacServerName:8093/webopt .
