Daily challenges in sheet metal processing
Disorder and long search times
Unsystematically stored punching and bending tools waste time daily and hinder workflow due to search times. During this time, machines stand still, which becomes really costly in the long run.
Damage due to improper storage
Improperly stored or just placed briefly because the shelf is too far away? This means scratches, dents, and consequently high replacement costs for your valuable tools.
Lack of space in the workshop
Bulky tools block urgently needed workspaces in meter-long shelves or numerous wing door cabinets.
Risk of injury
To save space, tools are stored in multiple rows. However, reaching over, especially with bending tools, poses a high risk of injury.
