Visiprise Tool Management, part of the Visiprise Manufacturing Planning solution, enables the efficient manufacturing and management of perishable, non-perishable and accountable tools for organizations throughout the discrete manufacturing and assembly product market sector. 

Leveraging the Commercial-Off-The-Shelf core of existing Visiprise modules including Visiprise Manufacturing Change Management (MCM), Visiprise Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP) and Visiprise Shop Floor Management (SFM), Visiprise Tool Management makes it possible for manufacturers to create, manage and make full use of critical tooling information in an integrated manufacturing environment.

Complete Control Over The Tool Lifecycle

With Visiprise Tool Management, Tooling and Process engineers can leverage multiple tool structure management capabilities as they define how a tool will be brought together during the fabrication and assembly process.  Visiprise Tool Management includes manufacturing change management capabilities that provide the change instructions while capturing the changes made for accurate record retention of how the tool was built.  Visiprise Tool Management also allows engineers to quickly, clearly and completely communicate the best tool manufacturing processes in a comprehensive multimedia format required for paperless shop floor environments.

Tool Control & Accountability

Visiprise Tool Management also includes Tool Control & Accountability features that allow manufacturers to establish & maintain auditable, accurate records for tool accountability, tool movement/physical inventories and surplus of special tooling:

• Receive tools into inventory
• Tool location management, including the issuance of tools to other locations, designation of tools as “arrived” at a location, and returning of tools to home locations
• Tool status management to denote which tools are lost, damaged, destroyed, etc.

Visiprise Tool Management provides commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) core functionality that, when integrated with Visiprise solutions, delivers an innovative system with repeatability, fast cycle times and unmatched reliability for tooling organizations.
