Tooling CPU Analytics

The Ultimate Cost-Saving Solution For Metalworking Manufacturers

Tooling is one of the biggest variable costs that manufacturers face every year yet one of the most difficult to consistently manage. Datanomix and Vallen have teamed up to deliver a groundbreaking analytics solution that gives manufacturers visibility into tool usage and costs for the first time. Tooling CPU Analytics promises to revolutionize how manufacturers track tool costs to drive savings and higher profits.

Vallen’s Supply Chain Solutions help manufacturers manage tool consumption by tracking usage and stock levels for complete control over their high-value inventory. 

Datanomix’s Tool Management Track allows customers to see tool usage by part number, machine, or tool and provides insights into actual vs. target tool life. Datanomix can integrate with your controller’s tool usage to extract:

  • Which tools need to be changed next?
  • What’s the programmed life vs. actual life?
  • Which tool changes take the longest?
  • The actual number of lives per tool
  • The cost for each tool
  • Monthly, quarterly, or yearly tooling spend individually or in aggregate

The Tooling CPU Analytics is the ultimate cost-saving solution for metal-working manufacturers. Tool usage data from Datanomix, coupled with the tool’s cost data from Vallen, will automatically figure out your cost per unit (CPU), and then suggest tools, methods, and vendors to reduce costs.

Datanomix Tool Management Views

  1. Tool Usage By Part #
    Review your consumption for a specific Part # on a single machine or across a set of machines.
  2. Tool Usage By Machine
    Review your consumption when running the same tools on a single machine or across a set of machines.
  3. Usage By Tool
    See tool consumption over time and when you run the same tools across many machines.

Higher Gross Margins = More Profit

Go beyond Lean manufacturing to enhance margins. Tooling CPU Analytics is way more than intelligent cost-reduction; it’s intelligent visibility into the supply chain management of one of your biggest expenses.
