What do people use for tool database software?

What do people use for tool database software?

(OP)
Hi all,

We currently don't have any formal systems in place to keep track of our tools and backends in our milling workshop. Mainly because it's just never been done and it wasn't too much of a problem in the past, but now we are starting to acquire more and more tools I think it is time to get things organised.

What do other people use for cataloging and keeping track of cutters etc. Walter TDM, excel spreadsheets, Access....???
What also probably complicates things is that we use a couple of CAM systems NX and Openmind (occasionaly Delcam too), we also have Vericut.

Any info or examples of what other people use would be great to start me looking in the right area.

Thank you.
D.

I suggest you take a look at the Manufacturing Resource Library (MRL) and Resource Manager (RM) Connect from Siemens PLM.
