Smart Factory Additionally to its CAM solutions EXAPT provides an own tool and technology platform as comprehensive and neutrally usable TMS. Tool and technology data management is important, but not sufficient for an efficient process consistency. The solution: An integrated production database to provide CAM systems with tool and technology data on the one hand and on the other hand combines the results of the CAM planning in an integrated data repository and provides them as specification for the production. EXAPT defines TMS not only as administration of cutting tools but also measuring, testing and clamping devices as well as devices and other manufacturing resources necessary for the production. All information is organized in different extension levels in a central client/server database, to provide them at the right time at the right place.
