9.3.8.4 Marking on the cut component surface
If the components are marked with numerical, textual, or with info in the form of
barcodes and QR codes, the marking can be used in off-loading process. Using bar-
codes and QR codes, the selection of cut parts is performed by a scanner lowering the
possibility of human errors.

9.3.9 Emergency stops

Emergency stop/pause buttons are located at all four corners of the cutter. Other safety
devices, such as a stop button on the control panel and stop discs/panels fixed on each
side of the gantry (see also Figs 9.3, 9.12, and 9.20), ensure safe work process. The
pause/stop buttons are generally used to make a pause during the work process to clear
