Challenges in Tool Management

Diverse tools and specifications: Managing a wide variety of tools with different technical specifications can be complex.
Frequent tool losses: Manual management methods often lead to unrecorded check-outs or returns, causing inaccuracies.
Unclear procurement process: Poor coordination between production and procurement teams results in purchasing unsuitable tools.
Frequent damage: Inability to track and schedule timely maintenance leads to tool breakdowns.

To address these challenges, ETEK has developed the Smart Tool Cabinet line to streamline tool management.
