A free flowing text field, the Tool Condition Report, attached to each tool allows a detailed record to be maintained with notes written and recalled throughout the life of the tool. All actions taken on the tool can be recorded with details of technical modifications and the personnel who conducted the work. In addition Tool-TracK allows the user to define Work Tickets containing the details of the maintenance tasks, including drawings if required, which are printed out to instruct technicians on the work to be carried out. The same is data can also be printed in a different format to create ISO9000 audit documentation, thereby enhancing the user's quality image and eliminating much manual paperwork. For planned maintenance tasks these can be configured into kits of parts and any shortages are highlighted in the Inventory Exception Report so that work is not delayed due to shortage of materials.
Stock valuation is made easy and control is improved over levels of redundant stock.
The machine or tool location field in the main database provides support for multiple manufacturing locations by identifying the tool-room or manufacturing plant where machines and tools are located. When centralised as well as distributed information is required, local users can input data and central users can log onto the system over wide or local area networks to review costs, problems and other pertinent data. Three modules are available, Tool Maintenance, Machine Maintenance and Inventory which can be purchased seperately or in combination in single-user or networked versions. No charge is made for support and new enhanced versions are offered regularly to users at a substantial discount.
