I Holland hosts a live webinar to help customers maximise their tablet tooling life

Getting the most out of punches and dies with a simple and powerful tooling management system.

I Holland will be hosting their first live webinar of the year on 2 March, entitled ‘How to maximise tooling lifespan and productivity through planned professional management and maintenance’. The presentation will examine how through the implementation of a tooling management and maintenance system, the lifetime and productivity of tooling can be maximised.

The cost of tool replacement is often known; hidden costs, however, such as those created by the unavailability of tools due to avoidable damage or unforeseen replacement can be lacking. By implementing a management system to monitor all aspects of the punches and dies being used, helps to increase production and reduces downtime.

Webinar presenter, Andy Dumelow, I Holland’s PharmaCare and Technical Sales Manager said: “Traditionally, tablet punches and dies were often viewed as expendable items that could be replaced easily. Today this is not a reliable strategy. With the requirement for increased productivity and profitability, simply replacing tooling without maximising the efficiency and planning replacements is not a desirable policy.

“By adopting a simple yet powerful tooling management system, it fulfils the core requirement of enabling tablet manufacturers to manage their tooling in an ordered and traceable way. Installing software to help in this task will lead to increased tooling productivity and press uptime.

“I Holland introduced an innovative and affordable solution – IH-TMS. The management system allows for proactive monitoring of tool rotations, tooling inventory and tooling maintenance. This information gives manufacturers a complete audit trail on production, an important process in tablet manufacture. The webinar will allow us to speak directly to our customers and offer guidance on how management systems can have a huge impact on production.”
