Why did you choose your car? Why do you use this toothpaste and only this one? Why do you only go to this particular supplier when you have an acute craving for fast food? Why does only the chocolate of this one special manufacturer come into your house? Are your decisions based on your personal taste, preferences, a norm or even sentimentality? Perhaps. But perhaps the suppliers of your favourite products also have a certain characteristic that sets them apart from the competition. We are talking about the famous unique selling proposition.
Something other than … doesn’t get in my house
A quality, which you receive so only from one supplier and nowhere else. You know: the little chocolate balls that only melt in your mouth and not in your hand; the Bavarian car manufacturer whose cars are the ultimate driving machines; the developer of software for the manufacturing industry that offers reliable ALL-IN-ONE solutions and so on. Once you have successfully developed a unique selling proposition, you can become very successful on the basis of this achievement – you can, you don’t have to.
Unique selling points are good for business
Of course there is another way, especially if you take your mouth too full and announce promises that are not kept. But this danger does not exist with the products of MySolutions, at least according to our experience. In this respect, you may always instruct us otherwise (if you don’t have a problem with ending up on our black list…). That’s why you can be sure that we won’t be too full of lip when we promote one of our unique selling propositions in this blog post – namely our adherence to the DIN4000 directive and its sibling the ISO13399.
Important decisions require reliable standards
One hears again and again about the different structures in relation to DIN or ISO. However, there are a number of specific ones that always come to the fore, particularly in connection with tools and toolmaking: DIN4000 and the younger ISO13399. What is it all about and what are the advantages for us as a manufacturer of software for the manufacturing industry and for you as a customer of our products of adhering to these standards?
What is DIN4000/ISO13399 actually?
Together with the tabular layouts of properties for tools, it defines the unique coding of the separation points between components and tools. Decisions about the tools used in machining are undoubtedly among the most important in modern manufacturing. DIN4000, which has proven its worth for many years, is one of the few international standards that enable tool manufacturers and users in the manufacturing industry to describe products in the same language in a digital format. DIN4000 and the still younger ISO13399 also facilitate the seamless transfer of tool data on various software platforms. This data leads to better decisions that optimize productivity and significantly reduce costs. Nevertheless, the MySolutions Group is practically the only relevant company committed to these standards. Best of all? The advantages of our standard loyalty also and above all benefit our customers.
Why DIN4000/ISO13399 helps you too
Cutting tools are capital-intensive production resources, so a global view of your tool inventory with the help of tool management software allows you to keep unfinished and actual inventory levels low, initiate orders at the right time, and minimize the variety of cutting tools. On average, cutting tools account for eight to twelve percent of manufacturing costs. For example, Tool Management Software, which is based on DIN4000 and also supports ISO13399 for data exchange, can help you use five milling cutters instead of 20. This reduces overhead and your tool budget by 20 to 30 percent.
Tool management only makes sense with DIN/ISO
