Evaluating an existing tool management system is crucial for a company to ensure its continued effectiveness and alignment with evolving operational needs. By conducting a thorough evaluation, the company can identify any inefficiencies, gaps, or limitations in the current system and make informed decisions regarding upgrades, enhancements, or even replacement. This evaluation enables the company […]
While investing in DC torque tools can save time while ensuring better accuracy, keeping them well-maintained is the secret to reducing critical assembly errors. If a tool isn’t calibrated correctly, it can cause torque misreadings. And applying too much or little torque increases the risks of end-user injury and product damage. As a plant supervisor, […]
Encore System’s proprietary QME (quality/maintenance/engineering) tool management software was exclusively developed by software and computer engineers who understand the importance of a plant manager’s ability to access master data. Within the realm of tool management, master data can include PM (preventive maintenance) dates, calibration records, inventory status, root cause failure analysis data, and much more. […]
An ISO 17025 certification may not be an industry requirement, but it does establish proof of a company’s competence and overall commitment to quality. Companies that attain ISO 17025 accreditation must adhere to a wide range of quality standards and processes. They must also prepare for annual audits performed by accrediting bodies like ANSI/ANAB. Preparing […]
Electric and pneumatic torque tools are essential for any assembly operation. A tool that isn’t outputting the correct amount of torque is a security risk. That’s why it’s important to resolve torque tool issues as quickly as possible. In this article, we’ll cover some of the most common issues we see with both electric and […]
When somebody pushes a shovel into the ground to dig a hole, that person is exerting linear forces on the shovel by forcing the shovel in one direction. Similar to the physics behind linear forces, torquing exerts forces on an object that cause it to spin or rotate instead of moving in a straight line. […]
Tool data management is a way to effectively manage your workplace’s inventory. If you haven’t implemented tool management software yet, you may be missing out on an incredibly important resource. In this article, we’ll cover the overall benefits of tool management software and how you can implement it in your workplace. Let’s get started with […]
