For plant operators, managing tools and equipment effectively is essential for smooth operations. A tool management system is a software-based resource that helps plant managers keep track of tools, ensuring they are properly maintained and readily available when needed. Plants may face challenges without a tool management system, such as tool misplacement, damage, or loss. […]
Evaluating an existing tool management system is crucial for a company to ensure its continued effectiveness and alignment with evolving operational needs. By conducting a thorough evaluation, the company can identify any inefficiencies, gaps, or limitations in the current system and make informed decisions regarding upgrades, enhancements, or even replacement. This evaluation enables the company […]
While investing in DC torque tools can save time while ensuring better accuracy, keeping them well-maintained is the secret to reducing critical assembly errors. If a tool isn’t calibrated correctly, it can cause torque misreadings. And applying too much or little torque increases the risks of end-user injury and product damage. As a plant supervisor, […]
Encore System’s proprietary QME (quality/maintenance/engineering) tool management software was exclusively developed by software and computer engineers who understand the importance of a plant manager’s ability to access master data. Within the realm of tool management, master data can include PM (preventive maintenance) dates, calibration records, inventory status, root cause failure analysis data, and much more. […]
An ISO 17025 certification may not be an industry requirement, but it does establish proof of a company’s competence and overall commitment to quality. Companies that attain ISO 17025 accreditation must adhere to a wide range of quality standards and processes. They must also prepare for annual audits performed by accrediting bodies like ANSI/ANAB. Preparing […]
