The result: „The TMS Tool Management Solu-
tions warehouse management immediately
tells us which tool is in which drawer“, explains
Elmar Schweizer of CERATIZIT. The ordering
system has also been optimized: „The design
department only needs to provide the draw-
ings. Using the graphs from the system, it is
then easier to order tools.“ This way CERATI-
ZIT benefits all-round from the ZOLLER solu-
tions – from an easy-to-operate measuring
machine via consistent data through to an
overview of the warehouse and fast ordering.
The challenge: tool data saved on different systems, components wi-
thout links to complete tools and warehouse management requiring
considerable manual documentation – all at permanent further de-
velopment of the product portfolio: new solutions were necessary for
the production periphery and the process procedures.
The solution: CERATIZIT already had good experiences with the ZOLLER
measuring machines – now the partnership was extended to cover
tool management. First, the tool data were transferred to the TMS Tool
Management Solutions: by straightforward outputting and inputting from
the Kardex cabinet system. Close cooperation continues on complex
tasks such as graph generation according to DIN 4000.
