Compare ToolBox vs. Total ETO

The Folding macro from ToolBox has been crafted by experts who possess extensive experience with brake presses. Our approach considers various factors such as setup time, which is influenced by the longest fold length, the number of folds, the weight and dimensions of the piece, as well as the personnel required to manage the part. The tool generates outputs that include cycle time, setup time, and pricing. To streamline the process, we offer two adjustable settings that encapsulate these variables into percentage adjustments. Modifying the setup override percentage will respectively increase or decrease the setup duration necessary for bending operations; this setup time is a one-time charge irrespective of the bending volume. Consequently, as the quantity of parts that require bending increases, the setup time is distributed over more pieces, leading to a higher per-part cost when dealing with smaller batches and a reduced cost per part for larger orders. Once a drawing is uploaded through our 3D module, ToolBox efficiently identifies the appropriate layers for fold lines, inputs the fold lengths and quantities, and generates a flat DXF file for production. This streamlined process not only enhances productivity but also ensures accuracy in the folding operations.

Total ETO is a Totally Better ERP / MRP for Custom Machine Builders, providing better efficiency, accuracy, and profitability. Our system was designed by engineers to match the unique workflow of Engineer To Order manufacturers, including Integrators, Panel Shops & OEMs. Our solution will: -Increase efficiency in engineering by integrating with your CAD. -Allow designers to cost out the BOM before purchases are made. -Track changes to the BOM at any stage of the project and ensure the information is shared across departments. -Save time & money in procurement with your newly Dynamic BOMs. -Capture change order information, including labor, material, and sales price changes so they aren't omitted or forgotten. -Improve accuracy through out your organization, including sales estimates. -Route parts between various tasks, tracking both internal and external processes.    -Help ensure parts are inspected and know who completed the inspection.  You'll be able to record and follow up on quality issues on the shop floor, from engineering, or for purchased parts with embedded Non-Conformance Reports.
