Zoller

From machine manufacturer to digitalization enabler

Challenges

  • Support of an integrated tool management by programming an interface between ZOLLER Tool Management Solution and CATIA V5 

Solutions

  • User-friendly interface integration in CATIA with three major application situations: data import, export and check-up functionality.

    - Data import: transfer of tool data from ZOLLER-TMS to - CATIA and availability for programming
    - Export of the tooling sheet (the output of the programming) to - ZOLLER-TMS
    - Check-up functionality: reconciling the tool data created in CATIA with their counterpart in ZOLLER-TM
  • Transfer of technology data into CATIA
  • Transfer of real cutting contours and 3D representations from the ZOLLER TMS into CATIA
  • Consulting and technological support for implementing topics such as digital twin and Lot Size 1

Benefits
