Software for Tool Management
January 1, 2014
TDM Systems gives users data and graphics on tools and related equipment, reducing time and expense, according to the company.
Tool Data Management (TDM) software from TDM Systems is designed to be an integrated solution for data acquisition and managing the array of tools, tool assemblies, fixtures and set-up equipment confronting today's manufacturers.
"With TDM software, missing or unreliable tool data is eliminated," said a company spokesperson. "By providing users with one easily accessed source for all tool related information, TDM software cuts tool selection and location times while also reducing presetting and set-up times. Because the software interfaces with all major CAD/CAM programs, accurate tool data, 2D graphics and 3D models are quickly available for realistic simulations, without the need for lengthy and error prone data entry. This ability boosts process reliability. Similarly, the ability to acquire all of the needed tool-related data with just a few clicks of the mouse can dramatically reduce programming time, thus boosting productivity."
Because it houses tool data in a transparent, unified format, users are able to standardize their tool inventory. Tool procurement and logistics are streamlined and simplified as well. Production planning is enhanced by TDM's ability to interface with ERP systems, such as SAP, for which there is a standard interface. TDM software integrates with a variety of other IT solutions within the manufacturing field as well, and has standard interfaces for most common upstream and downstream systems.
TDM software is scalable and available in a variety of configurations, from small, entry-level offerings to multi-plant, international company installations.
