TDM Base Module

Managing tools in a structured manner, increasing availability and reducing costs

The TDM Base Module forms the foundation for TDM Tool Management. The tools are managed according to tool items, tool assemblies and tool lists and gives you an overview of all tools used on your shopfloor. A wide variety of interfaces enables the TDM Base Module to exchange data on the planning level with ERP, CAD/CAM and simulation systems and on the production level with MES/FMS systems, with crib systems, presetting devices and machines. The highlights of the TDM Base Module are efficient options for data input and easy operation. Other highlights include practical functions such as automatic tool assembly and easy tool selection.
