Tool Cycle
The
tool cycle
serves as a link between departments
and supplies them with
information from process planning right up to
providing tools to the machine.
It supplies fast, specific information on the
following tasks:
Order management, identification of requirements
and availability, binning, mounting, and setting up of
tools, fitting of machines, and analysis
of remaining service life
Difference reports, picking lists, and shut-down lists
are provided by the system at any time, online and
up-to-date.
The integrated management of both service
life and remaining service life enables the system
to identify the optimum number of tools for each
order, thereby reducing machine downtimes and increasing
productivity.
When the order is dispatched to the work center, whether
manually or automatically with the ERP/PPS
system, the
tool cycle
already checks with a “missing part routine”, if
all components for the planned orders are
available. Should components, or accessory
parts, be missing, they can be requested in
advance via the order module.
