Tool Base

The Tool Base report provide a history of tool lifecycle events, including location movements, state changes, production usage, and changes to cavities or sub-tool configurations.

The report supports these fundamental modes:

• Current situation: Displays the status of tools, including the current location, asset state and most recent usage information.
• Actions in this period: Displays tool events that occurred during the selected time frame. These report modes are available:
  • Transition: Displays each individual tool event.
  • Status: Displays each unique combination of tool status information for the applicable period.

The report also provides tool usage counters, including lifetime usage, since the last repair, and usage since last maintenance, and scrap quantities during usage periods. This information can be used to assess tool wear, plan maintenance activities, and review tool performance over time.
