Tool Management

Where is a particular tool and what is its condition? Modern tools, for example in the field of plastic injection molding, have a high degree of complexity. They consist of a large number of components with different properties and individual degrees of wear. Instead of fixed maintenance intervals at the tool level, the individual tool components require a complex maintenance strategy. The Tool Management module offers a central location where the production tools in the system can be maintained and monitored via an interface. In addition, it provides an overview of their use. With Tool Management, all tools including their components are individually monitored using automatic rules.

Thanks to intuitive configuration management, the components and their connections to each other can be created and set up in a web interface. Individual limit value settings for each component with automatic notification reduce response times and prevent machine defects and quality shortcomings in the product. Tool Management ensures a high degree of transparency regarding the condition of the tools. The responsible groups of people are informed immediately by email when limits are exceeded and can respond accordingly. They also have centralized documentation at their disposal. This way, they can better plan maintenance intervals and component replacement, and reduce machine failures and downtimes to a minimum.
