Guhring Tool Management Software
Built-in Intelligence
All Guhring's tool dispensing systems are controlled by the user-friendly Guhring Tool Management Software (GTMS). It documents all relevant movement data of stock levels, triggers order requirements and enables evaluations to various criteria.
The comprehensive and detailed reporting provides users the maximum possible transparency regarding tool stock levels and tool consumption and also enables a precise cost allocation Interfaces enable the linking to various goods management systems as well as the online connection to respective suppliers via automated ordering procedures. The GTMS allows the simple, quick and intuitive operation via the integrated touchscreen or an external reading device.
Optimisation thanks to a comprehensive analysis of the tool stock level
Guhring's Tool Management Software (GTMS) enables a quick insight into all relevant tool data. The analysis of the tool stock level is the perfect basis to optimise production. The GTMS is of modular design and can be individually adapted to customer requirements. The modules can be put together according to requirements. The Guhring Tool Management Software helps to make production and tool relevant processes transparent and improve production as well as also saving costs based on the results.
Core of the GTMS: The article database
The core of the GTMS is the product database. The user can register by user identification, by barcode or RFID chip. The article data collected in the database forms the corner stone for analysis and evaluation possibilities and have numerous advantages, as for example:
- documentation of tool related processes
- accurate consumption analyses of various criteria, as for example, tool consumption per component, per machine or per manufacturing area
- supplier evaluation
- management and monitoring of measuring instruments
- management of drawings
- deadline monitoring
Finding and analysing weak spots in the manufacturing process
There are weak spots hidden in every manufacturing process such as, for example, sudden increase in tool wear, incorrect tool withdrawals, machine stoppages, miscalculation of tool life or supplier problems.
In addition to the excellent tool or stock management, Guhring's Tool Management Software modules provide the possibility to quickly find and evaluate these hidden weak spots, to identify bottle necks in the production and to increase productivity through specific counter measures.
GTMS Modules
- Through the recording of wear the customer can see the parameters of their tools at a glance and evaluate the efficiency.
- With the module order recording then the operating steps can be stored. Furthermore, specific nom./act. cost comparisons are possible.
- With stock list management the user can plan his tool requirement, prevent incorrect withdrawals and identify the connection between the products in stock at a glance.
- The storage module with re-grind management makes it possible to set-up a specific storage location for every individual tool, evaluate stock movements, analyse and therefore, for example, save a lot of time for inventories.
- With metrollogy management it is possible to plan tool calibration and inspection cycles and manage measuring protocols with traceability.
- The module machine downtime management makes it possible to record the cause and define the respective solutions for a machine stoppage.
