TCMax, the tool control software package for Aviation & Industry, was developed to allow a tool crib to quickly issue and turn in tools. It was designed to allow a user to issue or turn in tools and consumable items without having to look at the computer screen. It maintains permanent records of tools, their users, and where they were used. It tells you who has what tools and where they were used with a single click. Significant design effort was placed on saving keystrokes. It can be used with or without a barcode scanner.
Features:
-Issue or turn in tools as fast as you can scan them when using a Pentium 1.5 GHz or faster
-Computer "talks" to you telling you what it is doing so you don't have to watch the computer screen on every issue/turn in ... this one feature virtually guarantees that your employees won't scan something and not have it accepted by the computer
-Calibration and inspection dates are checked with each issue or turn in
-Over 100 reports
-Over 200 options, make TCMax work the way that YOU want
-Parent/Child relationships, issue a toolbox that has an overdue torque wrench in it & you get the Overdue -Calibration warning
-Six English voices for the computer randomly picked, the seven through ten are Spanish, French, German, and Italian
-Computer says "Issue", "Turn In", "Employee", "Location", "Enter Quantity" as necessary with each keyboard or barcode scanner entry
-"Overdue Calibration", "Caution-Tool Removed", "New Tool", "New Employee", "Inspection Overdue", "Employee Not Certified" are in a different voice to catch the operator's attention to these non-routine events
-Tool barcodes can be alpha/numeric digits of any kind, of any length
-Employee ID cards and ID numbers of any length
-Virtually every action is done from one main, simple screen
-Microsoft Access® database or SQL Server® and SQL Server Express®
-Import/Export to a database from multiple 'source' databases
-Fast/easy way to perform complete physical inventories
-Turn in any tool & log grid displays all of the tools left not turned in by the person that had issued the tool (This makes the program instantly more informative!)
-Unlimited inspection items for each "tool" ... great for issuing keys for a vehicle & making sure all oil changes, etc. are complied with by date or by mileage/hour meter reading
-Issue expendable items. Report tells you when you are below low inventory limits and tells you how many to order.
-Additional reports include inventory for each tool box, calibration, temporary duty
