Tool & Mold Management System (mix-up prevention + usage count)

This system uses ID labels and a handheld terminal to manage tools and molds — preventing the wrong tool being used and tracking usage counts and maintenance cycles to avoid unplanned breakdowns.

Benefits

Tool / mold mix-up prevention

Verifies the tool against the work order before the operator continues.

Usage and maintenance tracking

Counts cycles automatically and flags when maintenance is due.

Avoid unplanned downtime

Detect end-of-life conditions before they cause line stoppages.

Centralized history

All tool events are logged in one place for traceability and audits.

Compatible Functions

  • Barcode / 2D code reading — Identifies the tool / mold reliably on each use.
  • No-code app builder — Configure usage rules and screens without coding.
  • Device management — Push policy updates to handhelds remotely.
