Tool Life Management (TLM)
What is Tool Life Management?
How TLM helps you?
Challenges
Unplanned tool failures cause downtime
Worn tools create scrap and rework
Tools replaced too early or too late, wasting money
No clear visibility of remaining tool life
Manual spreadsheets slow down operators
No link between tools, parts, and quality records
Tool costs are hard to track and justify
Solutions
Predictive tool changes keep machines running with less downtime
Smart thresholds ensure consistent quality and fewer defects
Optimized usage & regrind cycles – maximum ROI per tool
Real-time dashboards & alerts – faster, data-driven decisions
Full traceability per part/serial – easy audits & compliance
Analytics & KPIs – clear insights on cost per part & downtime savings
How it works
1. Register the Tool
Each tool is identified with a unique ID (e.g., drill, insert, saw blade) and assigned a preset life (time, number of parts, or cycles).
2. Collect Usage Data
3. Calculate Remaining Life
CODENO applies rules and thresholds to show real-time tool condition.
4. Trigger Alerts & Actions
When a tool reaches its limit, CODENO notifies operators, creates interlocks, or schedules a replacement before failure.
