In modern carpentries and joineries, machines such as CNC milling machines, edge banding machines, and panel saws are used. However, these machines are only as efficient as the data they work with.

Transmit tool data directly to the machine control – the future of craftsmanship
twinio: The smart solution for automated tool data transmission
Why up-to-date tool data is crucial for machine control
Missing or faulty tool data can lead to the following problems:
Inaccurate processing due to incorrect tool parameters
Increased tool wear
Longer setup times due to manual programming
Production errors and scrap that waste material
Therefore, it is essential to transmit correct tool data directly and error-free to the machine control.
Challenges in manually entering tool data
Many businesses still manually enter tool data into the machine control – a time-consuming and error-prone process. Typical problems include:
Typographical errors and transposed numbers
Outdated or incomplete tool data
No central access to data, which is often scattered across various systems
Additional training effort for new employees
These challenges unnecessarily complicate the entire workflow.
Transmit tool data directly to the machine control – the future of craftsmanship
The answer is: Automated data transmission!
When tool data is sent directly to the machine control, manual input errors are eliminated. This saves time and improves processing quality. This is where twinio from tapio comes into play – the digital solution for tool management and seamless data transmission to machines.
twinio: The smart solution for automated tool data transmission
twinio is a digital tool management system specifically designed for carpentries and woodworking companies. How twinio works:
Capture tool: Each tool is assigned a QR code or registered via manufacturer data.
Manage tool data: Details such as cutting material, diameter, feed rate, and spindle speed are stored digitally.
Direct machine integration: The data is transmitted to compatible machines without manual input.
The result: No guessing, no transposed numbers, no loss of time – just a smooth workflow.
Benefits of using twinio for machine control
Using twinio offers many advantages:
✅ Error-free data transmission
