Do you catalogue and save hundreds or thousands of die-tools for potential reuse?
Does it take hours to search them for each new order? OR are you skipping this search for most orders?
In the end, are you sure the search was thorough?
Packaging converters and label printers have hundreds and thousands of die tools or die layouts in the inventory. Managing these die layouts or die cut templates for reuse is a challenge. Spread sheets and meta data search is a cumbersome, approximate, and time-consuming method.
"Die Library" feature by InSoft Automation is a breakthrough innovation, which is based on shape-scan search technology to find the closest matching die from thousands of reusable dies in few seconds.
One & Only die management tool with graphical preview. Much beyond what a key word or metadata-based systems can achieve.
Scourer is an innovative tool to clean-up and convert existing flat die-layout files saved from design applications to reusable die-layouts, with clear definition of 1Up die-lines and their position and orientation on the layout. These structured die cut templates can be populated in Imp's die tooling database for automated search and reuse.
