TOOLTIP, as a modern digital platform, is continuously evolving and always seeking innovative and reliable partners. Today, we are excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership with ZOLLER, based in Pleidelsheim, Germany (Baden-Württemberg)!
The digital transformation of industrial production is increasingly shaped by the concept of the "Smart Factory." In this context, data is the key resource that makes efficient and flexible production processes possible in the first place. One of the most critical data sources for the Smart Factory is tooling data. Its standardized definition, maintenance, and management are essential for successful tool management.
Tool measurement and management by ZOLLER
ZOLLER is a globally leading provider of measurement technology, software solutions, and automation systems for the manufacturing industry. The company offers precision equipment for setting, measuring, and inspecting machining tools, as well as a wide range of software, interfaces, cloud services, and automation solutions. It is no surprise that ZOLLER is recognized as a global leader in presetting and measuring devices.
Many companies worldwide already benefit from integrating ZOLLER technologies, reducing downtime, optimizing setup times, and improving production quality. ZOLLER solutions support the digitalization of manufacturing processes, ensuring that tooling data is always accurate and up-to-date. This makes ZOLLER an indispensable partner for companies that prioritize efficiency and quality.
Comparing tooling data with TOOLTIP
At TOOLTIP, we also place great emphasis on the accuracy and completeness of tooling data on our platform. One of the biggest challenges in tooling data management is the heterogeneity of data sources. Tools often come from different manufacturers who provide their data in various formats and structures. Without a standardized approach, it becomes difficult to integrate this data into a unified format and make it usable across different systems and applications.
Additionally, tooling data is constantly changing. Tools are frequently updated or replaced with new models. Maintaining and updating this data in real time is therefore crucial to ensuring data integrity and currency. This is where standards come into play. TOOLTIP ensures that information such as geometries, materials, and cutting parameters is available in a consistent format. Since most tools on the TOOLTIP platform are described according to the DIN 4000 standard, our customers can better evaluate tools, compare alternatives, and make informed decisions without being dependent on proprietary data structures from individual manufacturers. Thanks to this structure, we can offer and directly compare over 27,000 tools from various manufacturers like SPPW, HTPP, DTS, and many others.
Together, TOOLTIP and ZOLLER are connecting manufacturing elements in a single digital application, actively driving the practical implementation of Industry 4.0. TOOLTIP provides tooling data from leading manufacturers and catalogs directly to customers via ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions. Integration with CAM systems is also possible. This partnership combines cutting-edge technology with proven expertise to deliver innovative and efficient solutions for manufacturing companies.
