The connection between the tool storage system and the WinTool tool data management system expands the connectivity of data!
WinTool itself has a tool inventory management function, but by collaborating with a hardware-software integrated tool storage system, it can more robustly manage the tool issuance and return processes. By registering tool item numbers and names in WinTool and transferring them to the tool storage system, it prevents the double management of tool item information. On the other hand, by timely reflecting tool inventory transactions such as issuance and return recorded in the tool storage system back to WinTool, it becomes possible to grasp the inventory and available stock of tool items owned by the company on the WinTool integrated tool library. Additionally, it is also possible to send inventory transaction instructions from WinTool to automatic storage shelves that do not have inventory management functions. When collaboration is implemented, tool issuance and return are carried out on the tool storage system side, but it is also possible to manage order point management, purchase request generation, and inbound processing on the WinTool side instead of the tool storage system side. By integrating WinTool and the tool storage system, the utilization of tool data, which tends to be limited to inventory management, expands across the entire machining business process.
