Value of ZOLLER Training

Technology has the most impact when people know how to use it effectively, but every shop has its own unique processes, goals, and challenges. So how do you know what works best for your business?

Although a user-friendly interface can unlock the basic benefits of your machine or software, optimizing it for specific use cases requires a more personalized approach.

“ZOLLER Software is very intuitive, but the cutting tool world is complex,” says Michael Stepke, Training and Development Manager. “Companies are creating different types of cutting tools for different applications in different volumes. Have you identified the specific training your team needs to maximize productivity and fully leverage your ZOLLER solution?”

ZOLLER knows manufacturing isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. Our experts offer customized training sessions to maximize the value of ZOLLER solutions.

How does training at ZOLLER work?

At ZOLLER, the training process starts with a thorough conversation to dig deeper into processes and pain points. ZOLLER uses that conversation to shape the curriculum.

“This is not standard, off-the-shelf training,” says Stepke. “It’s highly customized.”

Customers can use their actual programmed data and bring their own cutting tools to ZOLLER for even more personalized instruction. Our subject matter experts will run measurement reports, capability studies, and analyze the customer data so we can show you how to fix your practice and achieve optimized, cleaned-up measurement sequences.

When should you consider training?

Knowledge transfers don’t always go smoothly when an experienced worker retires. And unfortunately, the skills gap in manufacturing is only getting worse; according to a study by The Manufacturing Institute, the skills gap could result in 2.1 million unfilled jobs by 2030.

Training is one of the quickest ways to get new employees up to speed on the manufacturers’ machines so they can work at their highest potential.

“Sometimes people get a brief introduction to a machine and think they can figure the rest out,” says Stepke. “But their knowledge isn’t specific enough to really be effective. Training helps bridge that gap.”

Companies usually think of training when there’s employee turnover or if they acquire new technology. But training can also be used to proactively enhance existing processes. One ZOLLER customer, for example, was able to fine-tune their tool measurement sequence to measure tools 40% faster.

Ultimately, any ZOLLER customer who is looking to maximize efficiency should explore the idea of training and see what options are available.
