Productivity in machining is usually described as an increase in cutting parameters and better machine utilization.

From recent researches, we noticed the importance of streamlining the administration of machining tools. Studies have shown an average of 20 to 30% of a machinist’s time was spent on searching of tools and that 10 to 15% of all scheduled jobs are delayed due to lack of sufficient tools.

We aim to address tool logistics management from three different perspectives:

Stock availability

In an average workshop, approximately 30% of the overall tool inventory is out of control. Searching for the right tools, ordering new tools, and waiting for them to be delivered can occur on a daily basis. What is the optimal goal? The right tool in the right place at right time!

Process efficiency

Rationalizing the tool flow will benefit process efficiency savings:

• Reduced machine downtime
• Fast and systematic picking of tools
• Reducing CNC programmer’s tool list amendment times
• Reduced job reschedules times
• Reduced lead times at all stages ......

Capital employed

Inventory levels and quantities of
different tools in stock have a great impact on your capital costs. With a real-time monitoring system, you will be able to control stock value, get alert for run out tools, view tool usage status, high-cost areas, slow-moving areas, forecast tools need.   

Precision tooling management software isn't just about managing tools, it's about managing your success. By embracing this digital revolution, you empower your team, optimize resources, and ensure consistent quality, propelling your business to new heights of precision and efficiency.
