Stans, Switzerland – Destiny Tool, a supplier of high performance end mills for use in non-ferrous and high temperature alloys, and Machining Cloud GmbH, product data content provider for the digital shop, will work together in order to publish Destiny Tool's cutting tool product data onto the Machining Cloud.
Through the Machining Cloud, Destiny Tool's product data – descriptive, usage and geometric information, application knowledge and price and availability – will be available to feed their customers' CAM systems, simulation software, and other data-hungry shop software and equipment. Using the Machining Cloud tablet and desktop apps, Destiny Tool's customers will have access to software features including Selector, Job Management, Reporting, and Commerce.
"Machining Cloud's ability to feed Destiny Tool's product data directly into their customer's shop software offers a tremendous benefit over paper catalogs and websites that currently offer this type of data which is manually typed into the end user's software," says Pierre-Francois Tavard, cloud evangelist for the Machining Cloud GmbH. "By utilizing cloud technology and industry standards – including ISO13399, STEP, GTC, and MTConnect – the Machining Cloud is capable of serving up-to-date product data to virtually any shop floor software or system."
The Machining Cloud apps run on Microsoft Windows 7 and 8 powered desktop and tablet computers, as well as Android tablets and iPads. The Machining Cloud is a neutral platform open to all partners and suppliers, making it suitable for the needs of most shops.
