Product Owner at CIMSOURCE GmbH
ToolPal provides you online with exactly the tool management functions you need.
Scalable as needed, zero maintenance effort, zero hardware costs, 100% tool data. This allows you to organize your manufacturing effortlessly and without installation and update overhead.
You select only the functions you really need from these packages.
01
for effective tool planning
The production planning always knows which tool can be used for which component on which machine and configures the 3D tool models for simulation.
02
for the tool lifecycle in the operation
The tool dispensing system always knows where each tool is located and its condition.
03
for the supply of tool components
Purchasing can reduce the variety of tools through material group management, consolidate procurement scopes, and thereby lower tool costs.
Werkzeugdaten on demand - sehr smart!
ToolPal and thus your tool management system run on a high-performance server in a professional data center. Ask your IT department about criteria for data security – we exceed them.
Want ToolPal to run on-premises on your infrastructure, behind your firewall? No problem! You decide where your ToolPal server is located.
Volkswagen Automatic Transmission (Tianjin) Co.,Ltd
Due to the specific conditions in China, we operate ToolPal on our own servers on-premise.
CIMSOURCE typically uses a German provider, unless otherwise agreed. Your ToolPal will be hosted in a data center in Germany.
The ramp-up, ongoing maintenance, and seamless scaling of computing power are advantages of the cloud. When ToolPal is installed in an internal network behind your firewall, the installation and maintenance effort increases due to the necessary coordination of access.
With the cloud version, you can start immediately. The bottleneck is always the setup of the tool database. Here, you have significant support with the integrated access to ToolsUnited.
Yes, this is possible for all master data, such as tool components, work plans, parts, and machine tools. It is important that the data is structured in advance. For tool data, CIMSOURCE provides tools and checkers for this purpose.
The data model of ToolPal is identical to that of ToolsUnited. With a simple 'toggle' switch, you can switch between your own data and the ToolsUnited database in ToolPal. Using 'drag-and-drop,' you can transfer tools from ToolsUnited into your inventory.
ToolPal is designed to seamlessly integrate into existing production environments. There are standard interfaces available for many inventory, CAM, and setting systems. Our team supports you with implementation and customization to meet your specific requirements.
CIMSOURCE offers comprehensive training and support services to ensure that your team can use ToolPal effectively. We provide both initial training and ongoing support and maintenance.
Study this landing page and watch the videos, then attend one of our webinars. After that, you can use a test account. We recommend a 2-day training session to set up example data from your actual operations.
Your ToolPal license is based on the number of CNC machines that need to be supported and the range of functions you require. The number of users is unlimited.
If your tool suppliers provide data in the standard format, it's no problem. To ensure your suppliers know exactly what is required, you can use ToolLink (additional license required, see also info.toollink.de).
