Automated tool support system of a large machine-building enterprise

Abstract

The importance of proper organization of the enterprise's tool supply increases with the increase in its size and significantly affects the efficiency of the main production. The success of the entire enterprise, the quality of products, the rhythm of work and profitability largely depend on the correct organization of the tool supply. The main tasks of the tool supply: timely and uninterrupted provision of workshops and workplaces of the main production with high-quality technological equipment and tools (cutting, measuring, auxiliary tools); improving the quality of equipment and organizing its rational operation; reducing the cost of manufacturing, purchasing, storing and operating equipment; organization of sharpening and restoration of the tool. An automated system is required to solve all tasks related to control and management of the company's tool supply. This article discusses the construction of a unified tool support system for a large enterprise and the results achieved by the authors on its development. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
