»zidCode 4.0« - Internet of Tools

IoT usually stands for Internet of Things. We would like to call it the "Internet of Tools", because you can use the »zidCode 4.0« IoT platform to network your cutting tools with the processes in your production. Thanks to its many output formats, »zidCode 4.0« is compatible with many control systems.

With »zidCode 4.0«, you meet all the requirements for making tool data such as tool life available at all levels of production and digitally recording the entire life cycle of a tool.

»z.DMI« Technology

For efficient production

ZOLLER »z.DMI« Technology enables the direct transfer of tool data to the tool memory of the machine control and back to the z.One Database.

  • Simple operation thanks to automated processes
  • Process reliability through centralization of data
  • Cost savings through management of tool life data
