Highlighted features include:

  • TDM Dashboard: All needed information in one central area
  • Tool Circulation: Manage your tool data with the eye-catching features like 3D assembly, TDM compliance check, assembly of grooving tools, 3D configuration of boring tools
  • Intuitive Tool Crib Management
  • Integrated Tool Catalogs and Excel import assistant for items and tool assemblies with TDM templates and customer-specific templates for your easy start
    • New module: Get maximum benefit by using the unique TDM Shopfloor Manager
    "With the TDM Shopfloor Manager in TDM Global Line, the customer can use a configurator to individually compile all workflows," says Volker Schwegler, senior consultant and product manager at TDM Systems, who adds that this means that the days when a shopfloor had to adapt to rigid software are now in the past. Consistently modular in design, the shopfloor management adapts to all conceivable circumstances in order planning, configuration and the workflow for cribs, assembly, presetting, machine and secondary cribs. The tool list forms the basis for every requirements calculation – "no matter whether we are dealing with orders, individual workpieces or NC programs, in the end, everything is broken down into tool lists".
