Trotec Ruby® Smart Add-on

The Trotec Ruby® Smart Add-on is a browser extension designed to optimize job distribution and device access in Ruby-based laser workflows. It enables users to send jobs directly to Ruby queues and distribute them across multiple lasers simultaneously.

1. Device setup and access

Devices can be:

• Added manually via the settings
• Detected automatically when opening a Ruby web application

Automatic detection reduces configuration effort and speeds up setup.

2. Device hub

The Device Hub provides:

• A central overview of connected machines
• Real-time device status (if Public API is enabled)

You can send jobs by:

• Drag-and-drop
• File selection
• Multi-file import

3. Job distribution

Jobs can be:

• Sent directly to Ruby queues
• Assigned to one or multiple lasers simultaneously

This supports efficient batch processing and parallel production workflows

4. Import profiles

Import profiles allow:

• Standardized job preparation
• Consistent parameter application
• Reduced setup errors

Files can be added via:

• Device Hub
• Browser context menu
• File chooser

5. Browser integration

The Smart Add-on integrates into the browser environment:

• Access devices via toolbar or address bar
• Seamless switching between open Ruby sessions
• No need to open new sessions unnecessarily

The Smart Add-on is particularly useful for:

• Multi-laser production environments
• Batch production workflows
• Repetitive job processing
• Educational labs or shared machine setups

The Ruby® Smart Add-on reduces manual interaction in daily workflows and enables more efficient job distribution across multiple lasers.
