According to statistics, indirect manufacturing costs account for 30% of manufacturing costs in the manufacturing process of many manufacturing companies.
And Sandvik official data also validates this very well:
16% of scheduled work stops are due to lack of tools.
30%-60% of tool inventory is not under control.
20% of the mechanic's time is spent looking for tools.
40%-80% of supervisors spend time on finding tools.
It can be seen that the proportion of tools in modern processing enterprises is very large, and the current management status makes the tool part become the bottleneck of the processing capacity of the enterprise, which limits the core competitiveness of the enterprise. Many researchers at home and abroad have already noticed this problem, and have written a large number of papers and developed some corresponding tool management system software. Especially in recent years, the tool management system technology has been greatly developed. In foreign countries, there have been many commercial tool management software, among which the more representative ones are:
(1) Computer Tool Management System (CYMS) from CTMS, UK
It consists of a system software module, which can be configured with 16 terminals, which are respectively set in the tool room, tool pre-adjustment room, measurement room and supply department. Each terminal is directly connected with the central database. The function of the whole system can be summarized as: improvement The release time of the tool and the number of tools that are issued outside the control; the inventory information of the tool room is continuously updated, the tool is pre-adjusted with the tool to set the tool; the tool purchase information is provided; and the tool usage analysis report is provided.
(2) Cincinnati Milacron's tool management system software includes the following five functions:
Prepare tools for the tool library; assign tools to each machine; tool scheduling and handling; tool inspection; tool information processing.
(3) Tool Manager computer aided tool management system developed by Delkel, Germany:
Suitable for tool monitoring, tracking management in machining units, flexible manufacturing systems and even entire departments. Its software features include: tool storage; toolbox optimization; tool assembly arrangements; tooling requirements for each part; tool life planning.
(4) Coratas, a complete commercial tool management software from Sandvik, Sweden:
Automate tool management. The system monitors the tool from the effective location into the tool magazine until the entire street-going process on the machine shop machine. It ensures that the tool is properly prepared in advance when starting a new batch of workpieces, and the state and working conditions of the tool are monitored. This system can find the critical state of the tool and determine the rationality of the tool inventory, which greatly improves the flexibility and reliability of the production and the utilization of the equipment. The system optimizes various factors related to the tool management organization at each processing stage, thereby shortening the preparation and end time, reducing the amount of tool storage in the shop and increasing the service life of the tool.
At present, most of the existing tool management software products in China are compiled by enterprises and research institutes according to the actual needs of enterprises. The main purpose is to realize the computer management of tool information, with a single function, mainly to solve the inventory management and borrowing of tools. Leverage and other simple dynamic management.
With the deepening of research, some domestic universities such as Southeast University, Tsinghua University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, and some institutes of aviation and weapons have conducted in-depth research on the tool management system in the automatic workshop environment, and also developed some Tool management software adapted to it, but because the suitable system investment is not suitable for national conditions, the research is only in the theoretical and laboratory stages, and the practical value is not high.
Based on this situation, having a mature product management tool has become an urgent need of many tool manufacturers and distributors. Based on this situation, WorldCom Technology Development (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. has dozens of Under the guidance of experts in the field of tooling, we have developed a set of sales management software for the tool company, GETSALES, which can be said to be in the best of time, location and people. This is a set of tools to help tool companies sell their tools and Customer-managed service system, which provides an efficient and efficient quotation system; comprehensive sales and procurement contract statistics are very useful for many tool companies, and more importantly, it can help enterprises achieve efficient and standardized management, thus Tool companies create greater profit margins.
