Why manufacturers without a tapio partnership have disadvantages
Manufacturers who are not yet tapio partners bring certain disadvantages for their customers – that is, for you:
More effort for you: Tool data must be maintained manually – this takes time.
Less convenience: Partner manufacturers often provide their tools with digital data – a real advantage in daily operations.
Lower visibility: Non-partners do not automatically appear in twinio – this complicates usage.
For manufacturers, this can be a competitive disadvantage – especially if others already offer better-integrated solutions.
