Every tool in the shop, accounted for.
A working demonstration of tooling inventory for a precision machine shop: what each Standard Tool is made of, which physical assemblies exist, how much life is left in them, and whether tomorrow's programs can actually run.
ST-104 · 3/4 End Mill
Drag to take it apart. Select a part for its catalog record.
Zero is fully assembled; one hundred is fully separated.
The questions this answers
Not dashboards for their own sake. These are the things that stop a job, asked the way they get asked on the floor.
Where is it?
Every physical assembly is at a machine, in a toolbox, or in the crib — and moves are recorded, not remembered.
How much is left?
Remaining life travels with the assembly, not with the recipe, and drops as runs complete.
Can I run this tomorrow?
Scheduled programs are checked against usable assemblies and available life before the morning it matters.
What exactly is in it?
The exact cutter, collet and holder — with revisions — snapshotted at build time, so a later catalog change can't rewrite history.
One idea does most of the work
Almost everything else follows from separating the recipe from the steel on the shelf.
The recipe
Standard Tool
What a tool should be: a specific cutter, collet and holder, at a specific stick-out and gauge length. It is revision-controlled and it has no life, no location, and no wear.
ST-104 — 0.75" end mill, 1.5" stick-out, 4.25" gauge. Programs call for this.
The steel
Assembly
A physical tool that was actually built to that recipe. It has an ID, a location, remaining life, and a history. There can be several, all built to the same Standard Tool, each in a different state.
ASM-0103 — built to ST-104, at VMC-01, with its own remaining life. Setups consume these.
Drawn from the record, not decoration
Every drawing in the app is generated from the component data at one shared scale — so a 1/4 end mill really does look smaller than a 3/4, and a stack that could not be assembled on a bench cannot be saved.

These are the actual counts in the demonstration dataset — the same numbers the app opens with.

Have a look around
Start on the dashboard, follow the first exception to the tool it came from, then open a program to see the Standard Tools it calls for and whether they are covered.
This is a concept demonstration. Every record — tools, components, part numbers, suppliers, programs and schedule — is fictional and does not represent LeanWerks operations, customers, tooling, or production status. Data lives in your browser only, is not synced, and is not a system of record. The drawings are configuration previews and are not for dimensional inspection.
