Huge variety of tool data for TDM users
Comprehensive tool data is vital for the seamless operation of any tool management system. The exchange of data with scheduling and production systems is also reliant on the creation of clean tool data. Automated data creation solutions take the hassle out of this. That's why TDM Systems offers solutions such as the TDM WebCatalog or the TDM Data and Graphic Generator.
This partnership facilitates the use of the ToolsUnited data pool from CIMSOURCE. Having access to this huge selection of data for a wide range of machining tools is of great benefit to the digitalization of the tool inventory and to data maintenance too. The user simply puts the required tool data records in to their ToolsUnited shopping cart and then exports it to TDM as a single package. Using this system saves time on data creation and increases data maintenance efficiency.
