What is ToolCrib?
The Tool Crib Application is designed to simplify the management of tooling inventory and equipment, and tooling information. It tracks, organizes, and maintains tools used across different departments for CNC machines, such as lathes, mills, drills, etc.
Problem
Manufacturing departments manually track tooling inventory using spreadsheets or paper logs, leading to inefficient tracking, frequent errors, and difficulty maintaining tool conditions across CNC machines like lathes, mills, and drills.
Solution
A web-based tool inventory management system that centralizes tracking of tooling data, usage history, and maintenance schedules, enabling real-time updates and cross-department coordination for CNC machine tools.
Customers
Manufacturing managers, CNC machine operators, and toolroom supervisors in industrial facilities requiring precise tool management for production workflows.
Unique Features
Specialized integration with CNC machine tooling data, maintenance alerts, and usage analytics tailored for manufacturing environments.
