Use Data to Prevent Unexpected Machine Stoppages
When a machine stops for a routine tool change most of the downtime is spent waiting for an operator to begin the tool change. OnTakt makes it possible to group tool changes for tools that will expire in the near future, reducing downtime. On a second shift with limited operators, a tool change can lead to longer machine downtime or completely stop an overnight unattended run.

Use OnTakt to prevent a tooling stockout due to inventory function
A tooling stockout that leads to a machine stoppage is painful. Stopping a machine because an endmill or insert is out of stock can result in a several hour delay while tooling is rushed to the shop. A tooling stockout requires either an employee’s time to pick up tooling or an expedited delivery charge from a vendor. In a best case scenario tooling is on a shelf locally, but all too often a tooling stockout requires shipping, disrupting a job until midmorning the following day. OnTakt can help prevent these painful stockouts and increase run quality by allowing an operator to visualize when to order tooling to prevent these types of stockouts.
