Current Status of Tool Management in the Precision Machining Industry
——
Cutters are a critical resource for mold CNC processing, with their performance affecting production efficiency, processing accuracy, quality, damaged workpieces, machinery damage, and safety threats.
Tool Registration - Manual Management
Knives are frequently used, often requiring manual registration, which leads to complex operation procedures, reluctance among workers to register, time-consuming processes, and a higher likelihood of errors during inventory.
High inventory consumption of cutting tools
Knives are valuable with various specifications, requiring regular calibration and maintenance. Multiple sharpening, frequent issue and return, makes it inconvenient to keep track of calibration costs and cycles.
Lack of supervision in knife usage
Cutting tools are crucial for product quality. A large number of tools require verification, and the lack of monitoring and prediction in the processing process can lead to collisions caused by tool breakage, posing quality risks.
The destination of the knives needs to be traced.
Enhance the traceability of tool whereabouts, categorize by tool type for better tracking, to prevent loss over time or unauthorized borrowing by workers, making it difficult to locate.
