Tool Management: A Modular Approach to Robust Processes

With the base module »TMS Core« and six add-ons, ZOLLER is reimagining its digital tool management system, TMS. Customers can start with basic tool management functions and expand the system exactly to meet their needs. 

ZOLLER’s new tool management system offers an outstanding range of features and, thanks to its modular design, scales with manufacturing requirements—all the way to a fully automated smart factory. It thus consistently follows the core philosophy of the entire ZOLLER portfolio: Start with a solution. Enter a system.

Get Started with Tool Management: »TMS Core«

With »TMS Core«, ZOLLER customers can quickly and systematically start with digital tool management. It’s the perfect solution for structuring processes—via a browser, across multiple locations, and with simple scalability—and for centrally backing up tool data.

Six Add-ons: Extensions for Every Level of Manufacturing 

If desired, »TMS Core« can be expanded at any time with six add-ons—exactly at the pace at which a manufacturing facility’s tool management should grow.

1. »z.Stock«: 3D inventory management for full transparency regarding stock levels, tool circulation, availability, suppliers, prices, and ordering system
2. »z.CAM Integration«: unique tool definitions via DIN/ISO article characteristics, 2D/3D editor, and technology data, as well as seamless process integration via more than 25 CAM interfaces
3. »z.Resources«: Resource management is handled centrally at the component level with automatic provision in the setup sheet, as well as optional, version-controlled NC program management
4. »z.Shopfloor«: order management with tool and setup information, as well as up-to-date data on tool life, tool regrinding, and tool availability
5. »z.Connectivity«: »zidCode 4.0« ensures a seamless digital connection between tool measurement, tool management, and the CNC machine
6. »z.Integration«: the manufacturer-independent tool management solution for established manufacturing environments, thanks to a powerful brownfield connector

At its highest configuration level, ZOLLER TMS covers all requirements for modern tool management. With efficient tooling processes, ZOLLER TMS reliably increases manufacturing profitability.
