How does it work?

1. Mount a Tool-Tag-Tree on each machine. Select the number of sections that match your tool magazine capacity. We suggest adding an additional 5 Tag section for flexibility in organizing tool tags.
2. Mount a Tool-Tag-Tree on or near tool the crib. We suggest a 50 Tag Section. More capacity can achieved by adding additional Tool-Tag-Trees.
3. Using our templates (Excel and Word) print a custom label for the cutting tool OEM sleeve/case and a label for the tool tag. Include tool number, critical tool information and URL to mfg website for generating QR codes. Place tool tag on holder and store in tool cart etc.
4. When installing the tool in machine, remove the tool tag and store the tag on the machines Tool-Tag-Tree.
5. When removing tool from machine, replace the tool tag onto the tool holder and store in tool cart etc.
6. If breaking down holder, return cutting tool to labeled sleeve/case in tool crib and place the tool tag on tool crib Tool-Tag-Tree.

You now are able to track a tool from the tool crib to the machine and back to the tool crib.

This system works best for unique tool numbers, thus a tool number that is dedicated to a particular tool. However for revolving or reusable tool numbers it works as well but you might want to manually mark the tool tags and erase marking for reuse.

At this point we are not able to provide tool tags (we are working on it) and in the mean time suggest these  ACCUPRO CAT40  tool tags from MSC. You can source the tags elsewhere or 3d print your own as long as they fit the CAT40 V-Flange.

For creating labels using the downloadable  Excel and Word documents tool library we suggest this iDPRT thermal label printer as it is inexpensive and proven to work with the provided documents. For labels, we use these weatherproof thermal labels.

2. To print labels, open the Word document and follow prompts. See detailed instructions here.
