All operating resources at a glance

Equipment logistics

Hummingbird equipment logistics allows you to keep track of all the physical components of your company at all times – from components and spare parts to operating equipment, electrodes and tools to measuring equipment or any other components.

Highlights

Central management of all components

All data is managed in a central Hummingbird database. Thanks to the open system architecture, uni- or bidirectional interfaces to Excel files, ERP systems or other third-party systems can be flexibly implemented.

Transparency in real time

You know at all times:

  • where a component is located
  • how many pieces are available

The clear warehouse management system provides real-time feedback on stock levels and can be seamlessly linked to ERP systems or intelligent dispensing cabinets.

Flexible identification & booking

A particular strength of Hummingbird is the open, pragmatic solution for identifying equipment. Tool cabinets, shelves or any storage locations can be clearly identified using RFID or data matrix codes and components can be booked directly to them.

Thanks to the modern software architecture, Hummingbird can be used on any end device.

Example from tool and mold making

Tools can be supplemented with a wide range of information in Hummingbird, including:

  • Release stocks and sampling documents
  • Process parameters
  • PLC programs
  • Setup and test checklists
  • Documentations
  • Setting and instruction lists
  • Cycle data
  • Maintenance intervals
  • Process parameters

Condition management & traceability

Each item has a clearly defined status (e.g. active, locked, under maintenance). Tools can be locked or unlocked as required. Hummingbird thus provides reliable support:

  • tool maintenance
  • Quality assurance
  • the tracking of changes
  • Audit and certification requirements

Efficient inventory & Excel export

Hummingbird offers significant added value for inventories:

  • Stocks and tool statuses can be called up in real time at any time
  • Inventory processes can be digitally supported and accelerated
  • All relevant data can be exported to Excel – ideal for audits, internal evaluations or external checks
  • RFID or data matrix identification makes stocktaking faster, safer and error-free

This not only simplifies the inventory of tools, molds and equipment, but also ensures audit-proof documentation.
