Simple and accurate! Online recording of tool consumption directly at the machine terminal.

Today, tools are often custom-made and therefore correspondingly expensive. In practice, only little attention is paid to the consumption of tools and thus to an accurate recording of an important share of production costs. The consumption of expensive tools is often only sporadically recorded in the form of incomplete hand-written records and is not always consistently evaluated.

With the tool consumption module, the MES software SK-go!^® offers a convenient and, if required, force-controlled recording of used tools. Replaced tool parts are reported directly via the machine terminal or the process monitoring device. If "Tool change" is reported as the cause of a machine breakdown, the tool part list belonging to the product currently being produced appears automatically on the terminal screen in graphical or tabular form. From this, the machine operator simply selects the replaced part and thus reports back the consumption.
