ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods enable the management and monitoring of tools in a manufacturing environment using network communications. Tools are adapted to output tool information to a network via an intermediary device. According to some embodiments, the tools are multi-part tools such as cable tie tools having a dispenser and a hand tool. A computer collects tool information, such as error information, maintenance information, and operation information, and displays the information to users as necessary to optimize maintenance and repair of the tools.
