Utilizing tools properly can make the difference on the shopfloor, both in terms of productivity and costs. Yet today, utilization is far from ideal.

• 75% of operators take decisions about tools utilization based on visual inspections, experience and intuition.

• 3 out of 4 production managers see the falling skill levels in their workforce as a major threat to business success.

• 90% of CNC companies do not gather enough utilization data to generate usable insights for decision-making.

With increasingly less skilled operators and a lack of reliable insights, utilizing tools in the most productive and sustainable way becomes a real challenge.
