Daily challenges in machining
Disorder and long search times
Unsystematically stored machining tools waste time daily and hinder workflow with search times. During this time, machines stand still, which becomes costly over time.
Damage due to improper storage
Lack of space in the workshop
Risk of injury
If you want to save space, the tools are stored in multiple rows. However, overlapping tools pose a high risk of injury.
