Tools Data Manager

Tools Data Manager (TDM) is an advanced data collection and analytical system enabling enhanced quality validation, behavioral deviation monitors and alerts, automatic quality and statistical sampling strategies, and real time visualization package that includes interactive activity dashboards and a comprehensive viewing/reporting tool.

TDM simplifies and centralizes the collection and management of all manufacturing process, quality and test data for archiving, viewing, trending, analyzing, alerting and mobilizing.

TDM features a comprehensive torque preformance module designed to collect data from all makes/models with advanced scientific analysis to reveal undetected failures.  

TDM deploys quickly with seamless integration into existing processes and substantial user configurability that is easy to use.

ToolGuardTM

Advanced asset management of your torque tools and other production tools designed to track and optimize the useful life of your production tools.

Auto scheduling for preventive maintenance, calibration and certification requirements of your torque tools.  PM requirements are scheduled based on actual use of tool (wear factor offset) rather than on cycle count and calendar days.

ToolGuard includes a unique feature that monitors the amount of work in the bolted joint being tightened (with data availability) and the amount of work generated by the torque tool (duty cycle).  If the tool is working harder than tool specifications, ToolGuard will alert you that the life of the tool is being shortened due to mismatch of work.

Detailed inventory and history records maintained including event completion, maintenance records and costs.

Weld Integrity Monitor

Early detection of hidden process failures is key to improving the quality of finished products and reducing cost impact of warranty related repairs once in the hands of the consumer.

By capturing detailed welding data in real time, WIM can analyze the behavior of materials and welding process during the welding activity to determine reportable deviations from normalized, baseline mappings of the welded joint which can create welding joints that are at high risk of premature failure.

Call Catalyst today to learn more about how WIM can become a vital part of your quality and cost management programs.

RFID - Chaotic Stock Tracking

Leveraging RFID - Chaotic Stock Tracking

Passive RFID . . . Active RFID . . .Low Frequency (LF) . .  High Frequency (HF) . . .Ultra High Frequency (UHF) . . . Ultra Wide Band (UWB) . . . Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) . . . there is a wide variety of RFID technologies being used today, each  with its own specific capabilities and limitations.  With all that is available, selecting the most appropriate technology for your needs and requirements can be quite challenging. 

It is important to be able to step back and review both the specific challenges of your project and the capabilities/limitations of all RFID technologies in order to select the most applicable, best-fit  RFID technology.  Since 2003, Catalyst has worked with applying evolving RFID technology to assist its clients in designing and selecting the proper RFID technology to meet their project needs and objectives.  In each case, the technology that was selected and launched was a "best fit" technological approach available at the time of the project.  Catalyst's approach is to select RFID technology that supports your manufacturing processes and solves your challenges, rather than adjusting your processes or expectations to fit to the selected technology.

The primary purpose of RFID, as seen by Catalyst engineers, is to provide item/person recognition and tracking that meets or exceeds the project objectives set by the client's requirements.  Examples of RFID use in Catalyst designs include, but is not limited to:

  1. Hands-free component recognition as products progress through their manufacturing/assembly processes
  2. Data cache for updating processes with specific build requirements
  3. Data collection for end of process download and archiving
  4. Tagging and association of finished goods for retrieval from chaotic storage (precision, rapid locator)
  5. Tagging and association of work-in-process items that are queued off line and re-introduced back into production cycles, as needed (precision locator)
  6. Tagging people to determine location for unauthorized entry or presence (last known presence  tracking)
  7. many others

Catalyst designs provide a competitively priced solution to complex requirements that accomplish the objectives without deviation.  Whether the designed solution uses Catalyst's own Real Time Location System software which collaborates item data with location data for accurate locating processes or a 3rd party solution is chosen, you can be assured that the Catalyst design is offered based on "best fit" design and not financial motivations.
