FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AutoTAS Toolcrib Released in AmericaThe AutoTAS toolcrib software enables small and large manufacturers to have the right tool at the right place at the right time. Geared to their individual requirements AutoTAS permits companies to release the full potential of their manufacturing resources and to maximize the return on machine tool investment. Developed by Sandvik Coromant, AutoTAS will be marketed, sold, and supported exclusively in North America by Micro Estimating Systems, Inc. AutoTAS is used widely throughout Europe to manage company tooling investments.AutoTAS 4.0 is a 32 bit application that simplifies purchasing, stores, and toolroom operation, as well as tool presetting and calibration. Eleven discrete, yet fully integrated, modules enable AutoTAS systems to be tailored to customer needs at both corporate and individual user levels. For a British firm in the automotive industry, the identification of redundant tooling translated to nearly a $100,000 tool stock reduction during the twelve months following the system’s implementation, approximately a 15% yearly savings. It paid for the AutoTAS system several times over. What’s more, the company has not been out of stock on any tooling item during this time. The AutoTAS system can generate tooling requisitions or purchase orders. Orders may be faxed, submitted via EDI (electronic data interchange), or entered directly with a supplier’s order processing system. Sandvik Coromant is the international leader in cemented carbide, cutting tools and tooling systems. AutoTAS is the Sandvik Coromant's Windows based Tool Management System. Standard reports not only provide information on the current stock situation, but give analysis of usage – down to individual machine tool level if necessary – enabling companies to continually amass information so that the optimum reorder levels can be specified. The latest version of the AutoTAS tool management software, with its familiar Windows ‘point-and click’ interface, supports industry standard database formats. Compatibility with databases such as SQL and Oracle simplifies the creation of more complex analyses and reports, while enabling data to be exported easily to other computer systems within the company. AutoTAS also offers an ‘open system’ route for the future integration of tool management with production planning and scheduling systems as part of a single, company-wide manufacturing information network. AutoTAS is a critical building block for any company seeking continued improvement in its ability to provide a total service to customers. AutoTAS contains 11 modules, many of which can be purchased and operated independently. It offers an ideal means for even smaller manufacturers to begin tracking their tool usage and costs. A brief description of the AutoTAS modules follows. For a more technical discussion of the program, please see the accompanying Technical Product Backgrounder. Micro Estimating Systems Inc., a subsidiary of OnCourse Technologies, Inc., is the exclusive North American distributor for AutoTAS
