All 3 Documented Cases
Idle Equipment Due to Reactive Tool Wear Interventions
10-30% capacity underutilization (from downtime reduction claims)Unmonitored tool degradation forces frequent stops for checks and changes, idling machines and creating production bottlenecks. Without predictive lifespan data, optimal replacement timing is missed, reducing overall throughput. Systems like TMAC enable 95% tool life utilization, highlighting prior capacity drains.
Excessive Downtime from Unplanned Tool and Die Replacements
$10,000+ per incident in downtime and tooling (industry avg. estimable from tool life extension reports)Without real-time monitoring, tool and die wear leads to unexpected failures, causing prolonged machine downtime for manual inspections and emergency replacements. Operators intervene reactively after quality issues appear, amplifying production interruptions and unnecessary supply costs for rushed tooling. Preventive systems reduce this by predicting wear, but absence results in recurring operational halts.
Scrap and Rework from Worn Tools Producing Out-of-Spec Parts
5-20% material waste per run (estimable from tool monitoring ROI cases)Tool wear causes dimensional inaccuracies and defects like built-up edges, leading to scrapped parts or costly rework. Multiple wear types cascade, pushing workpieces beyond tolerances undetected until quality checks. Automated monitoring prevents this by setting thresholds, but manual methods allow systemic quality losses.
