Transparent crib management as a resource planner for Tool Lifecycle Management

Automated storage equipment is an important part of a space-saving crib system system with high avail-ability and secure access to the stored articles. TDM offers a variety of options for controlling crib systems. The prerequisite for this is the interface from TDM to the automated crib systems. The interface transmits commands from TDM to the crib system, thus enabling the imple-mentation of transparent, order-oriented tool provisioning.
