GUHRING TOOL MANAGEMENT Guhring Tool Management brings benefits While direct tooling costs, mirroring tool consumption, are often known as the target for optimisation, there are indirect tooling costs hidden in the organisation process of the tool management. Therefore, they are less visible and quantifiable. Examples of indirect tooling costs on the one hand are costs created by the required process of procurement and storage etc., on the other hand also costs created through deficits in this process and through their consequences for the production. THEY INCLUDE, INTER ALIA, THE FOLLOWING: Interruption of production orders due to lack of tool Insufficient transparency with stock levels and storage locations of tools Increased time expenditure by foremen and machine operators due to tool search Reduction in machine utilisation due to lack of tools Excessive and insufficient tool stock levels in warehouse Increased tool variety Advantages Activities to optimise the organisational process and the relevant costs must often be performed by the responsible employees in addition to their normal daily business invariably remain unresolved due to lack of time. Here is where Guhring begins with its modular tool management concepts. All the required components from Guhring are available from a single source: Partial or complete takeover of your tool management Tool management software GTMS Automated tool dispensing systems TM 326, TM 426 and TM 526 GSS shrink fitting and pre-setting equipment 4
GUHRING TOOL MANAGEMENT Lotec Loh GmbH & Co. KG:»To today Guhring has convinced us at all times with high professionalism and expertise. In the project Guhring performs as a service provider and not in its core competence as a tool manufacturer. Thus, as previously we can freely select tools and suppliers and keep hold of the reins.«lotec LOH GMBH & CO. KG HUBERT ANGENENDT Managing director Lotec Loh GmbH and Co.KG values Guhring s logistic tool management Lotec is a tool, mould and special machine manufacturer in Amsberg in the Sauerland region, serving predominantly customers in the automotive industry, fittings technology and profiling technology. According to Mr. Hubert Angenendt (managing director of Lotec Loh GmbH & Co. KG) it used to be quite chaotic at Lotec when cutting tools were involved. That is why Mr. Angenendt and his team decided to introduce a logistical tool management with Guhring in 2014. The tool management is processed via a TM 326 tool dispensing system controlled by Guhring s GTMS tool management software. Lotec employees withdraw the required tools from this system as required whereby they book the withdrawal in the software. Based on this data starting points for important technology improvements can be determined. Monitoring the levels of the tool stock as well as ordering tools and putting them into stock in the TM 326 tool dispensing system is carried out by Guhring employees. Advantages THESE ARE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS FOR LOTEC: High transparency of tooling costs thanks to constant consumption checks and continuous reports of all movement data Free choice of tools and suppliers Tool ordering and stocking by Guhring Provision of tools as consignment stock No more tool shortages No machine downtime or order cancellation due to lack of tools No more security stocks Fixed storage locations prevent tedious searches for tools 5

TOOL MANAGEMENT HARD- AND SOFTWARE TM 326, TM 426 and TM 526 tool dispensing systems Controlled storage and dispensing is the basis for obtaining transparency in tool consumption and direct tooling costs. However, this requires the tool stock is kept under lock and key and every tool withdrawal is logged in the management software. Only this way can it be ensured that the stock displayed in the software is physically available and the tool scheduling can work reliably. The Guhring TM tool dispensing systems distinguish themselves through simple operation, optimal storage possibilities as well as transparency in consumption and cost assignment. The systems are directly controlled by the Guhring Tool Management Software. Thus all stock movements including tool withdrawal can be logged directly in the central data base of the Guhring Tool Management Software and are available in real time for managerial processes, i.e. tool scheduling. When the employee withdraws tools, he is forced by the running dialogue of the Guhring Tool Management Software to log the tool withdrawal. If he does not end the dialogue correctly, the systems do not open and a tool withdrawal is impossible. Subsequently, Guhring TM tool dispensing systems offer all the decisive advantages of intelligent tool dispensing.
