Arguably the most integral element of any tool management system is its database. It serves as a source of information, generates added value and describes in detail the geometric and technological features of the tools. With this data as a basis, you are empowered to make daily decisions relating to NC planning and production. That's why it's important that this data is high-quality, comprehensive and consistent in order to network with other systems.
Digital twin – simulation-ready database
Tool data is more than just tool data. Tool data requirements vary depending on which fields of application you use TDM software in. These requirements range from basic geometric data to comprehensive tool assembly data, supplier information and even simulation-ready 3D tool assembly models and collision data. We have the solutions and expertise needed for all these applications.
Our data services: Advice, procedures, project implementation
In addition to our solutions for digitalizing your tool stocks, such as the TDM Data and Graphic Generators or even the TDM WebCatalog, our data experts are on hand with additional data services:
- Data service: Within a data service project, we first perform an in-depth analysis and description of your tool stock, before creating the data and graphics for you, in line with the requirements of your TDM application. We develop the data sets for items and tool assemblies, produce 2D/3D graphics and look to create a coherent system for identifying the master data.
- Data consultation: We are happy to advise you on which processes and which solutions could be used most effectively to digitalize your tool stocks. A strategic approach, use of efficient import functions and the right data sources facilitate efficient data creation. Our specialists are also highly trained in the process of digitalizing extremely complex tools. You can use your Flex Care Credits to access data consultation services.
