Tool Crib Development
This application is a custom app that was initially developed for CAMCO Manufacturing Inc. to manage critical machining tool information, including specifications, locations, maintenance schedules, and availability. We integrated it with their CNC Setup Sheet App to sync tool data from Tool Crib when creating/accessing any setup sheet.
This application is fully customizable and scalable according to organization requirements. The UI design is also designed according to organization demands and is fully customizable for future modifications or to create new UI applications. If you’re looking to make your own Tool Crib software for your needs, Zuggo will make you one with advanced UI and features as required.
CAMCO Manufacturing Project
The CAMCO Manufacturing is a manufacturer of precision components for the aerospace, automotive parts, and much more. They use CNC machines to make high quality parts/components. They were facing problems with manual tools management, spreadsheets for tooling information, and set up machines. To tackle the concerns/manual approaches they collaborated with Zuggo Custom Apps to develop a Tool Crib and Setup Sheet Application.
Zuggo developed them custom Tool Crib application that provides a centralized platform to manage critical machining tool information, including specifications, locations, maintenance schedules, and availability. And it seamlessly integrates with CNC Setup Sheet Apps to automatically synchronize tool data directly from the Tool Crib during setup sheet creation and utilization.
