Shop Floor Automations Introduces Tracker Tool Crib Management Software

"Shop Floor Automations (SFA), the largest distributor and service center for Predator Software Inc., has introduced a new way to track tool, gage and fixture inventory with Predator Tracker.

"Tracker is a Windows-based interactive tool management software system that improves manufacturing processes and efficiencies by organizing tool, gage and fixture cribs. It tracks consumption rates, reorder levels, scrap, calibrations, certifications and rework. Plus, Tracker automates processes for ordering, receiving, inventory and check in and check out with support for bar code readers.

"Shop floors using Tracker can significantly reduce or eliminate paper and index cards, manual inventory control, expedited shipping costs and help reduce tooling costs. And the system allows for electronic attachments to specific tools, cutters and other inventory. For instance, a video clip showing how to safely attach a specific tool can be linked to that tools profile in Tracker for operators to review."
