Current Status of Tool Management in Precision Machining Industry

—

Tools are the key resources for mold CNC machining, and tool performance affects production efficiency, machining accuracy, machining quality, damaged workpieces, damaged machine tools, and threatens safety.

Manual Management for Tool Registration

Frequently used tools are often manually registered, and there are issues with complex registration operations, workers' unwillingness to register, lengthy registration processes and easy inventory errors.

High Consumption of Tools in Inventory

Tools are of high value with various specifications and require regular calibration and maintenance. Multiple grinding, repeated issuance and return of tools make it difficult to record calibration costs, cycles, etc.

Lack of Tool Monitoring during Use

Tools are related to product quality, and a large number of tools need to be calibrated. There is a lack of monitoring and prediction during the machining process, leading to quality risks due to tool breakage and tool collision.

Necessity of Tool Tracking

The need for a tool-tracking system that classifies and traces tools is essential to prevent loss due to long storage times or workers' unauthorized borrowing and exchange.

Value of Fantian Tool Cloud

—

Provides overall process management for tools, fixtures, and gauges in mold enterprises, achieving the cloud-based overall lifecycle management of tools.

Warning of Tool Life

Provides tool usage frequency, status and location information, and full-cycle data monitoring.

Optimization of Processing Parameters

Connected to tool setters to transfer tool parameters, laying the foundation for machine tool usage.

Management of Tool Warehouses

Inventory data of tools and production resources are collected, supporting inventory management of 3D storage.

Integration with ERP System

Standardized use of tools and integrated management of technology and manufacturing processes.

Product Overview

—

When purchasing or storing tools, the system can automatically identify them by scanning their respective QR codes. The system tracks tool grinding, scrap, calibration and other processes, providing real-time use status for each tool, and helping warehouse managers, process engineers, manufacturing engineers and tool managers to improve tool management more effectively and reduce costs.

Product Advantages

—

To solve the production problems of mold enterprises, it is essential to improve their financial management level and penetrate the various management processes of the enterprise.

Full-Cycle Monitoring of Tool Management

From tool procurement, tool issuance, tool measurement, tool repair, tool scrapping, and other lifecycle management.

Optimization of On-site Tool Management

Tool compensation values are transmitted to the machine tool, and tool parameters are jointly transferred to prevent errors and reduce tool collision losses.

Significant Reduction in Tool Costs

Controlling the on-site issuance and scrapping of tools can reduce tool costs by 21.5%, and tool costs account for 1-3% of total production value.

Strong Traceability of Tools

Using a unique code for each item, supporting barcode scanning input, and tracking each tool and fixture in real time.
