Tool Transparency in MAN Engine Production
MAN Diesel & Turbo France: Their products are at home in the oceans and in power plants. Diesel engines are being developed on the Atlantic coast in Saint-Nazaire, where a single connecting rod can be the length of a fully grown man's leg. Several hundred tools are necessary to produce these connecting rods. Software from TDM helps ensure transparency with this.

The machine manufacturer is planning the future of digital production. The software solutions of TDM Systems in Tübingen play a fundamental role in this.
