Toolmanagement

Toolmanagement is a method in order to make your advances in the field of manufacturing technology managerially usable. Because short primary processing times and shortened splinter- to- splinter cycles are no advantage if the machines standstill only producing scrap as a result of missing or wrongly dedicated tools.

• CIMSOURCE offers the following facilities to productivity increases:
• Reducing the multitude of used tools to up to 20 percent
• Decreasing work in progress to more than 30 percent
• Flattering the tool consumption to up to 15 percent
• Increasing machine usage up to 5 percent

For the effective tool management independent of the company’s size following starting points arise:

1. The Cycle of Components from Suppliers to Your Own Business
2. The Cycle of Tools from Assembly and Presetting to the Machines and Back to Editing.
3. The Flow of Information for Planning Assistance, Process Design, and for Purchase.

For this a variety of software packages are used based on the currently actualized market review of CIM Aachen GmbH.

A manual on this subject is available on request.

The Cycle of Components from Suppliers to Your Own Business

Progressive supply concepts are offered by tool manufacturers, tool retailer and service provider.

(Thereby logistic is the central issue. The cross over to the business mostly is realized by consignment stores often by using automation solutions.)
What kind of solutions exist for that problem, who the “players” of the market are and what sort of concept your business suits best, that is what you find out at CIM Aachen GmbH.

The Cycle of Tools from Assembly and Presetting to the Machines and Back to Editing

The tool cycle on the shop floor level the so called “Shop-Floor”- tool management starts with the supply of tools (respectively with the Supplying machines) and runs over the presetting and assembly to the magazines of CNC-machines and back.

Conception, choice and implementation of tool management software are included as well as the correction of the tool stock and data collection.
