TMS Tool Management 
Solutions

Management System for a Seamless, Connected and Safe Manufacturing Process

Today, efficient tool management is the key to stable processes, low costs, and transparent manufacturing. Keeping tool data, equipment, and stock levels under control prevents search times, incorrect orders, and machine downtime – and boosts productivity from day one. This is exactly where ZOLLER comes in:

You start with the powerful »TMS Core« and expand your system step by step with six add-ons. The result: full transparency, secure processes, and tool management that reliably scales with your requirements in your manufacturing environment. Use to get started and make your tool management ready for the future. ZOLLER creates a connection between software and hardware to create a smart factory management system, which makes tooling processes measurably more efficient and visible:

Floating licenses

ZOLLER’s floating licenses offer maximum flexibility when using the tool management system. The licenses are available centrally on the network, are automatically assigned as needed, and are immediately approved again after TMS is closed. This licensing model is ideal for manufacturing environments with fluctuating requirements and ensures that 100% scalable access to all information is available. 

Web app 

ZOLLER TMS is installed centrally on the company server and provides tool‑ and production information across all locations and on any device – depending on the available feature set. Access is browser-based via mobile devices, while central updates significantly and sustainably reduce maintenance‑ and administrative effort for users and the IT department.

Centrally Managed Toolroom Management

ZOLLER TMS is the central solution for efficient toolroom management and ensures end-to-end transparency throughout the entire tool lifecycle. From planning through commissioning to reconditioning, all tools, components, and data are managed in a central database.

The result: ZOLLER TMS becomes the controlled, digital hub of production. Search times are reduced, stock is optimized, and processes are standardized. From the CAM‑system through the store to the presetting and measuring of tools, ZOLLER TMS creates a seamless workflow – for maximum process reliability, cost transparency, and productivity in the toolroom.

Tool Transparency in Manufacturing

The »coraLogistic« system automatically transports the tools that have been inspected on the ZOLLER presetting‑ and measuring machine. Using ZOLLER’s »zidCode 4.0«, the corresponding tool data is transferred directly and error-free to the CNC‑machine via a scan. Each tool is uniquely assigned to a machine, and the data is fed directly into the control system. This ensures that correct, up-to-date and consistent tool data is available in production at all times – quickly, reliably, and without manual data entry. 

The result: Tool data is transferred directly to the CNC‑machine via RFID or post-processors using »zidCode 4.0« or »zidCode« – simple, reliable, and with process reliability.
