Digital Solutions for your Cutting Success
c-Com provides software and services to digitize your tooling and machining processes to boost your productivity.
Introduction
Lately many companies in the metal cutting industry ask themselves how to reduce indirect cost to manage c-parts such as cutting tools. The more valuable tools are, the more transparency is needed to reduce unnecessary safety stocks and thus decrease fixed capital. Lowering direct cost such as tool consumption and increasing productivity by indicating tool changes ahead of time and identifying production issues and their causes digitally helps to increase your success. c-Com supports you with these challenges in order to keep your business competitive.
Solution Overview
With the focus on the application of tools our Digital Tool Management (DTM) solution is the basis of our software products. Often this solution is extended with a Life Cycle Management (LCM) providing a digital twin of individually marked tools. Finally we offer to increase your productivity with your Machining Analytics Solution (MAS).
