In order to be able to use twinio with all its functions, you have to log in to my.tapio.one with your tapio account in advance and then create your storage locations in the workshop under "Shopfloor" (e.g. tool storage, goods receipt, preparation stations, etc.).

How do I get twinio on my smartphone?

Did you know? Our smartphone offers us the possibility to use web apps just like conventional apps. So you always have twinio quickly at hand on your home screen to make the search for your tool a little bit more efficient. We'll show you how it works in the video.

You don't have an iOS device? No problem, just swap the "Share pop-up" with the "3 dots menu", the rest stays the same.

Once you have done this, log in to twinio.tapio.one and add your first tool. The "+" button in the twinio navigation bar will take you to the area to add tools. Just follow the step by step instructions and click save at the end. Your tool should then appear in the overview.

Where is my tool actually located?

Did you know that with twinio you have the possibility to assign tools to different storage locations? This enables you to create transparency as to where which tool is currently located in production. All users from your company for example can then see whether the tool is in the warehouse or on a machine.

Set up proper limit values, how does that work?

We hope the creation of tools and the assignment of storage locations worked properly. If not, feel free to contact our service team member Tim. Today we would like to show you how easy it is to set limit values for certain parameters and which advantages you will get as a user.

twinio gives you the possibility to show graphically how far away you are from sending tools to your sharpening service or even buying a new one. This makes unexpected bottlenecks during production a thing of the past.

So, what to do in the digital world when my tool is not sharp?

With twinio, we want to display the complete tool life cycle digitally. Of course, this also includes the case where a tool is not sharp and has to be sent to the sharpening service. In twinio, you can digitally record this condition with just two clicks. All twinio users in your company can then see at a glance whether a tool is in the storage, in use in a machine or at the sharpening service. With just two clicks, you can then set the tool back to "active" as soon as it is back in production.

The Add-on "Digital Sharpening" enables you to collaborate directly with integrated Sharpening Partners and to easily track your Sharpening Orders within the app.

Unique QR codes for easy identification

To make searching for your tools faster in the future, twinio users have the option of generating a unique QR code for each tool in the app, printing it out and attaching it to the tool accordingly. Using the integrated scanner in twinio or standard hand scanners, you can now identify tools with just one scan and trigger further actions in the app.

The Add-on "Digital Scanning" enables you to use the unique ID's that providers attach to each individual tool and create your digital twins within seconds.

Everybody manages his tools differently, twinio provides support for this

Each twinio user works differently with the app so that the digital tool management is integrated perfectly into the existing processes. With twinio, you can add images to your tools, for example. This makes the classic paper-based management a thing of the past, because now each tool has the appropriate documents and images digitally with it.

In addition, certain parameters can be edited in the detailed view of a tool, which means that years of experience in tool use can also be digitally documented here.

If a tool is no longer in use, you can archive it with just one click, so that it is removed from the active tool list.

How do cutters and adapters find each other?

In the analog world, it is quite common to have to connect a cutter and a adapter in order to use the tool set on a machine. twinio can provide digital support here.

What you need for this are your cutters and adapters, which you have already added in twinio via the "+" tab or scan. Then simply click on a cutter or adapter, select "Connect tool" via the action sheet.

Select the correct adapter or cutter and your tool set is ready to be used on the machine with the right parameters.
