LEITZ is working with manufacturers to significantly improve their productivity through it Tool Information Management (TIM) system.
The TIM system is designed to maintain optimum machine and tooling performance by monitoring the tool lifecycle, ensuring that a regular sharpening, cleaning, and servicing schedule is carried out at the correct timings to avoid any drops in productivity.
The tooling system is directly monitored at Leitz to track changes and fluctuations in production to predict and assess when your tooling requires maintenance or replacement. For larger operations, Leitz can also use RFID tags to track the location and usage of tools.
“We are well aware of the issues that machine downtime can have on our customer’s businesses,” said Simon Liddell, managing director at Leitz Tooling. “If tooling systems aren’t managed effectively, it can have a huge knock-on effect, significantly reducing productivity and product quality, not to mention damage to the expensive machines and their parts. Leitz TIM customers are well positioned to avoid downtime can help to keep tooling cost-effective. When paired with our new E-shop for consumables, it gives manufacturers more support with end-to-end management of their tooling inventory. Interested companies can set up a meeting with our team, where we will assess your manufacturing processes, and identify a package that is most suitable for your needs and budget. After onboarding, clients will gain access to our systems that monitor their tooling.”
