Pioneers of tool management
In the 1980s, a small team in the manufacturing organization of Walter AG in Tübingen makes history. The idea is to manage tool data digitally, in one software, everything available at the push of a button, the tools visualized with graphics. In the midst of a new manufacturing environment, they developed one of the first ever digital tool management software solutions. The solution generated a lot of interest, as many other companies were also experiencing the same challenges with tool availability. The presentation of the first version of the TDM software at the Hannover Messe trade fair in 1989 marks the beginning of a lasting success story. The company was founded in 1993 as an offshoot of Walter AG – the birth of today's TDM Systems GmbH, which currently has more than 120 employees and supports over 15,000 users at over 850 customers worldwide in managing their tool data. As a member of the Sandvik Group (since 2004), TDM Systems has been drawing on the expertise of leading international tool manufacturers for two decades. Today, TDM Systems offers scalable solutions that manage tools and their data, network systems in planning and production, and thus comprehensively optimize manufacturing processes.
