Storage Location Management

With the Storage Location Management module, you always have a clear overview of your complete tools, tool components, and accessories. Storage Location Management contains a virtual 3D assembly that allows you to quickly and simply map your warehouse in three dimensions and assign items to a virtual storage location.

External warehouse and lift systems can, of course, be integrated via interfaces.

Inspection Tool Management

This module manages all your measuring and testing equipment based on the setup sheet and monitors calibration intervals. Inspection reports are supplemented with informative graphics, improving control over the measuring equipment. The logs can be saved with the measuring equipment as desired. In combination with stock management, storage locations can be assigned to the measuring equipment and managed graphically.

Fixture Management

This module provides modern management of your fixtures in relation to the setup sheet and stores image information as well as setup instructions. Fixture variants are managed as bill of materials (BOM) information. In combination with stock management, storage locations can be assigned to fixtures and managed graphically.

NC Program Management

This module serves to simplify the management of your NC programs in the ZOLLER database associated with the setup sheet and offers the option to store different program versions (version control). Information such as a setup sketch, workpiece drawing, and the solid model can be stored for each NC program. A standard viewer is integrated into the NC program management module. Additional option: Integration of an external viewer.

Article Statistics

An analysis of your tool movements—and thus transparency in manufacturing—is a prerequisite for realizing optimization potential. With its article statistics, ZOLLER provides an overview of the current cost situation of your tooling system as well as the distribution of your consumption across the individual cost centers.
