Germany-based TDM Systems, a leading provider of software solutions for tool management, is expanding its expertise to include machine connection following a merger with Comara GmbH.

Jean-Paul Seuren, managing director at TDM Systems, said: “We want to be the number one digital partner for our customers, and that is why the merger of TDM Systems and Comara is an important step towards machine data expertise. We now offer our customers completely new options for evaluating OEE (overall equipment effectiveness) key figures and machine data.”

This is because the product portfolios of both companies complement each other ideally when it comes to the CNC machine: TDM Systems provides innovative solutions that take care of data management and the physical organisation of tools right through to the machine.

Comara specialises in machine data acquisition and/or the evaluation and analysis of machine data as well as solutions for production optimisation. This enables the creation of comprehensive OEE analyses as well as analysis of the current machine condition and also the monitoring of downtimes. A point that, among other things, is also relevant for tool planning.

As of 1 August, TDM Systems integrated all Comara solutions into its own portfolio and therefore providing the entire data and process chain, from planning through to the machine. By combining their expertise, TDM Systems aims to provide even greater support to customers in meeting the requirements for end-to-end digital manufacturing.

Holger Langhans, managing director at Comara GmbH, is also looking forward to the future with TDM Systems: “We are very pleased to add our nearly 20 years of expertise in machine data acquisition to TDM Systems’ area of expertise at an important point in the machining process. In the future, our joint customers will have one central contact for optimisations along the entire machining process.”

By integrating Comara solutions and Comara expertise into TDM’s portfolio, TDM Systems enables companies to leverage the huge potential of their data from the machine as well, allowing them to manufacture more efficiently.
