Key factors for the successful
management of production tools

Frame 2207
Real-time transparency on the status of tools and components

As tools pass through various production facilities, storage locations, cleaning and repair stations, etc., the question often arises as to where they are currently located or on which system they are installed. They also usually consist of several components that need to be in the right place at the right time. Tools that are not used regularly are unnecessarily stockpiled.

With Asset Tracking

You have precise real-time tracking of the location and status of your production tools. This information can be viewed by everyone involved at any time and from anywhere.

  • Continuous inventory accuracy
  • More precise cost allocation and identification of potential savings
  • Avoidance of overstocking

Automated positioning minimizes booking and search efforts

Your tools or tool parts are stored where there is space. Your employees maintain this information manually in lists or pass it on verbally. As a result, you lose a lot of time searching for tools that are temporarily stored, cleaned and sent to other locations, or due to incorrect or missing bookings.

With Asset Tracking

You know the position of all tools and production packages - at your own locations, at service providers and in transit. If required, you will automatically receive a message when a tool enters or leaves a specific area.

  • Minimization of search times and personnel costs
  • Elimination of manual scans and bookings
  • High data quality
  • Automatic notifications

Increased process reliability by avoiding shrinkage

Your equipment is lost, not returned after use or stolen. This leads to machine downtime, production disruptions and, in the worst case, delivery delays. In addition, you send machines out for testing or lend them to customers. In this way, they are lost and costs are incurred for replacement purchases.

With Asset Tracking

Your tools and components are monitored automatically based on the real-time data of your assets. This allows you to identify where your material is lost and retrieve it.

  • Minimized risk
  • Early detection of missing components
  • Automatic notifications in the event of process deviations
