H.P.Kaysser Systemlösungen in Metall 2. Milestone: Direct CAM and ERP Link After storage management was up and running, the CAM and ERP systems were also linked to ZOLLER-TMS. As Pfleiderer explained: “Our CAM system TopSolid now directly accesses the central tool database. This really lowers our programmers’ workload. ZOLLER tool management is also already paying off in purchasing: Since we have such good transparency, we only order what we really need – a major cost saving.” 3. Milestone: Process Reliability and More Speed The company is adding further options from the extensive and modular TMS Tool Management Solutions range over time. Pfleiderer notes the »quickPick« storage module as one example, which allows the company to quickly book and remove items in just a few clicks, as well as »cetus«, a software module used to optimize tool requirements: “Thanks to »cetus«, the control center for all tools is now the office; we don’t have to ask each individual machine operator what tools they have on their machine, since all the data is saved in the system. The program calculates tool requirements based on current machine magazine fit- tings. Then a picking list is created automatically, and only the tools that truly need to be exchanged are. That helps us save even more time and costs.” A Complete Success – To Be Continued A central set-up location and ZOLLER Tool Management combined to accelerate set-up times at H.P. Kaysser, also simplifying programming and purchasing processes, which in turn helped lower costs: “On average, we are saving 20- 30 percent of our tool and operating material costs, and our production processes are already 10-15 percent fast- er”, reports Udo Schwarz, Production Manager of CNC Ma- chining Technology at H.P. Kaysser. However, for H.P. Kays- ser all of this success is no reason to rest on their laurels – the company has already planned its next steps toward a profitable digital future: “Above all, we want to continue reducing our tool costs by using the Item Statistics mod- ule in ZOLLER-TMS to find optimizations”, said Pfleiderer.
