Machine Tool Monitoring Software

EXTEND TOOL LIFE.
PROTECT MARGINS.

Know how long every tool actually lasts, catch premature changes, and see what they’re costing you. Get more life from every tool without putting parts or production at risk.

TOOLING IS A DIRECT MATERIAL COST.
MOST PLANTS MANAGE IT ON A HUNCH.

Operators change tools early because failure costs more than a wasted tool. But without actual tool-life data, you don’t know what’s being changed too soon, what’s failing early, or what tooling really costs. Measure actual life and put a dollar value on every decision.

TOOL SPEND YOU CAN FORECAST

Forecast tooling demand from actual tool life and upcoming work, so purchasing buys what production will need.

UP TO 20% MORE TOOL LIFE

Find tools being changed too early and those failing before their expected life.

UP TO 30% LOWER TOOLING COSTS

Reduce premature changes and align purchasing with demonstrated tool life.

NO SURPRISES ON THE FLOOR.
NO GUESSES IN PURCHASING.

Know what needs attention now, where tooling is being wasted, and what you’ll need next, all from actual tool usage.

KNOW WHICH TOOL CHANGE IS COMING NEXT.

See which machines need attention and when the next tool change is coming. Prioritize the floor from one view instead of checking machines individually or waiting for an operator to call.

Show the cost at the moment of the decision.

Show operators how much life remains and what an early change costs. Capture why each tool was changed when it happens, so premature changes become measurable instead of disappearing into tooling spend.

The counts already exist. Read them.

Pull tool counts and presets directly from the machine control instead of relying on manual tracking. Connect actual tool usage to the tool and operation, so life is measured from what the machine actually did.

Expecting 5,000 parts and averaging 3,300? Here's what that costs.

Compare expected tool life to what each tool actually delivers and translate the difference into dollars. See which tools, machines, and operations are consuming more tooling than they should and where the savings are.

SEE WHICH MACHINES ARE EATING TOOLS.

Compare tooling performance across machines, parts, and operations to find chronic early changes, machines consuming tools faster than their peers, and the biggest sources of tooling waste.

Buy what you'll need. Not what you bought last year.

Forecast tooling demand from actual tool life and upcoming work. Know what production will consume, what each part costs in tooling, and what needs to be ordered before inventory becomes a production problem.

See It In Action

See how machine data and operator input capture when and why tools are changed, creating a repeatable process and getting more life from every tool. MAKE TOOL LIFE REPEATABLE.

TESTIMONIALS

THEY FOUND THE MONEY IN THE TOOL CRIB.

Manufacturers using better production data to improve tooling decisions, increase throughput, and find more capacity in the equipment they already have.

14,000 HOURS BACK IN A YEAR.

Optimizing our tooling processes was an example of one of the initiatives that contributed to overall improvement. Looking at our grinders, we have saved 14,000 hours in the past year.

- Matt Townsend's, OEE Director at Avalign Technologies

FIND WHAT'S BROKEN. THEN FIX IT.

"Technology changes all the time, and finding what's broken in our system is essential to continuous lean improvement. MachineMetrics gives us that starting point to do exactly that."

- Tim Borkowski, VP of Manufacturing, Fastenal

RETRAIN THE THIRTY-MINUTE TOOL CHANGE.

"If downtime is because they're doing a tool change and I'm noticing it's taking them 30 minutes to change a tool, maybe you can retrain that operator to have it become a five-minute change."
