Let's visualize the inventory status of cutting tools and tooling, and properly manage the inventory of tools within the company!
With the trend of increasing types and numbers of tools handled due to multi-variety, small-lot production and variant production, the necessity to properly manage tool inventory is rising. By utilizing the CNC inventory management module of WinTool (tool management system), we can control the appropriate inventory levels and order management of production resources and tools. By visualizing the usage status of production resources and tools company-wide, tool managers can ensure timely and accurate supply of tools. Additionally, manufacturing planners can recognize tool supply bottlenecks in advance. Furthermore, by integrating with QR/barcode readers, tool storage systems, and ERP systems, we can efficiently automate the recording of tool inventory transactions and streamline purchasing requests and order procedures.

Detailed information
-
Management of Multiple Tool Storage Sites ● Centralized management of tool inventory information across multiple sites ● Individually manage the supply and usage of tools for each site while managing production resources and tools in a single shared database within the company ● By sharing information across all departments, buildings, and manufacturing sites, it is possible to analyze and optimize tool usage company-wide ● Standardizing workflows between sites eliminates complexities arising from site differences
-
ERP Integration ● Interface with ERP (Purchasing Management Function) for tool purchase request transactions, purchase confirmation transactions, etc. ● Generates purchase request data and sends it to ERP when inventory levels fall below the minimum stock. ● Sends confirmation data after issuing purchase orders on the ERP side. ● Can contribute to the reduction of unnecessary tool purchases.
-
Tool Storage System Integration ● Interface with third-party tool storage systems ● Transfer of tool item numbers and other WinTool master data to the tool storage system ● Transfer of inbound and outbound transaction data conducted in the tool storage system to WinTool ● Immediate update of inventory levels in the WinTool central database
-
Smart Scan ● Collaborates with barcode readers to record tool inventory transactions and automatically updates inventory information by tool component item. ● Displays inventory quantity, available inventory quantity, reorder point criteria, and whether the tool is consumable or reusable for tool component items. ● Scans the assembly tool ID number to collectively record inventory transactions for the tool component items that make up the assembly tool. ● Scans the tool list name to collectively record inventory transactions for the assembly tools (tool component items) that make up the tool list.
-
Measurement Equipment Management ● Management of calibration target equipment and implementation of regular calibrations ● Regularly check all gauges and document the results ● After using the gauges, record the usage results and the next calibration date
