Different Thinking Is Better Thinking
Different Thinking Is Better Thinking
LATROBE, PA – An established global leader and an agile expanding start-up. A leading provider of wear-resistant solutions, while concurrently a pioneer in delivering digital data solutions of real value. A manufacturer and at the same time a service provider – all these describe Kennametal, a company continuing to expand and re-conceive its services portfolio in light of its latest products, historical leadership and commitment to “Different Thinking is Better Thinking.”
“Our continuing mission is to provide a market-driven services portfolio inspired by an intimate understanding of our customers’ needs driven by different thinking,” says Mark Fallek, Kennametal’s director of enterprise services. For example, Kennametal’s NOVO™ digital cloud-based process planning advisor not only recommends the best tools and sequence of operations to produce the desired feature, it also interfaces with Kennametal’s ToolBOSS™ automated inventory system to assure the right tools are on hand or can be electronically ordered and shipped. ToolBOSS users on the cloud with the latest software version can now use NOVO to see if an item proposed for a process plan is already available in their ToolBOSS inventory, making both plans and budgets more efficient. Customer part numbers are automatically populated in NOVO Tool Advisor results and Tool Availability pop-ups via the ToolBOSS database.
“By adding ToolBOSS credentials to their user profile, customers easily check the inventory in their local ToolBOSS units with their developing process plans,” says Chris Merlin, marketing manager for the virtual machining initiative at Kennametal. “They’re better able to utilize items already in their shop.”
