Concept Modules
Gühring’s Tool Management concepts are designed according to customer requirements. Long-term experience in the tool sector and in the technology, professional handling of operating sequences and customer data form the optimal basis for a reliable and individual co-operation with Gühring as a partner. Tool management is divided into the following concept modules:
GTMS
The modern and practice-oriented tool management software from Gühring is the engine of the tool management.
Interfaces
GTMS connects to all ERP/PPS, CAD and IT systems using interfaces. Also logistics systems such as paternoster or shuttle systems can be controlled and managed.
Logistics
When required the GTMS triggers order requirements and co-ordinates the delivery and re-grind service.
Identification
Login is either by barcode, PIN, RFID or biometric data.
Service
Thanks to a co-ordinated delivery and re-grind service all production relevant working materials and tools are made available as required and on schedule.
Online communication
GTMS enables the data exchange via Intranet and Internet, Web-applications on tablet, smartphone and PC.

GTMS: BUILT-IN INTELLIGENCE FOR TOOL MANAGEMENT
To control / operate its TM 326, TM 426 and TM 526 dispensing systems Gühring has developed the Tool Management Software GTMS. The objective is to organise the complete tool supply as cost-efficient as possible.
With the comprehensive possibilities of GTMS concrete saving potential can be made visible. Gühring’s Tool Management Software enables a permanent consumption control: Reporting all tool movement data makes tool costs more transparent. This is achieved by the specific allocation of tool costs to cost groups such as cost centres for example. An ABC analysis of the tools can shed further light on the tool management.
GTMS automatically triggers order requirements when necessary. A notification is sent to the employee responsible, to the purchasing department or controlling if there is shortfall of the pre- defined stock item or an automatic order is sent to the supplier. A tool shortage situation is hereby prevented. In addition, wear data can be automatically recorded, goods inwards monitored or orders managed. Accurate consumption analysis for different criteria, as for example, tool consumption per component, per machine or per production area contribute to a sustainable tool management like supplier assessment and monitoring deadlines.
With the assistance of GTMS and the newly designed TM dispensing systems stock levels and withdrawals are seamlessly documented. Our GTMS makes your automatic tool dispensing solution even more efficient.
