YOU’RE DEVELOPING ADVANCED PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS FOR YOUR AIRCRAFT – USING MORE AND BETTER INFORMATION. YOU HAVE THE DATA. WE HAVE THE MEANS TO CONTROL AND APPLY IT. Exciting new e-maintenance initiatives are being developed in the aviation industry, holding great promise for the future of predictive maintenance — the gathering and integration of data, cost control and, most importantly, aircraft performance and safety.

Level 5 Tool Control Systems can play an important role. In fact, a central role. Level 5 can be your e-maintenance hub. Where information, tools and staff come together at a simple but powerful touch-screen module. Your staff has instant access to critical flight data, fully coordinated with ground computers. They locate the required tools and instruments, initiate the maintenance, even access appropriate manuals. All from a single touch-screen.

Total integration of data, tools and talent. The bottom line? Higher-quality work, when and where you need it.

That’s total peace of mind. That’s Level 5 from Snap-on.

Streamline your parts department or tool crib with TCMax asset management software. You’ll know at a glance “who, what ,where and when”. For training situations, TCMax can also be used for task tracking to provide students with data on their efficiency.

THE BIGGEST COST? PUTTING IT OFF.Add up the costs. The daily drip, drip, drip of lost equipment, the time

tracking things down, the paperwork, the lines, the processes, the

time spent slogging through complicated inventory procedures.

The costs can be huge.

With TCMax, the savings start immediately, and keep adding up.

It’s all about lean processes today, and TCMax definitely speaks

that language.

TCMAX GROWS WITH YOUR BUSINESS. A SYSTEM FOR TODAY. AND TOMORROW.More than a system for inventory. A system for change. And that

means cost-savings today, tomorrow and into the future. TCMax can be

customized to fit your changing needs.

SO SMART, IT EVEN TALKS.It’s the software system that’s taking asset management to

a whole new level of speed, control, accuracy and cost-

effectiveness. The first system that talks. More importantly,

the first one that really delivers.

IT MAKES YOU MONEY.

TC Max® Asset Management Software.


Who has it? What did they do with it? When did they take it? What job do we invoice for it? TC Max has all the answers – and now, so do you. TC Max asset management software gives you the total picture at all times, whether your operation is large or small.

Issued Tools TCMax displays the total number of assets issued to the specific employee

The barcode is entered for the specific asset and all applicable information is displayed such as facility location, maintenance schedule information, etc.

Each employee authorization can be limited to specific assets as needed.

TC Max displays a visual reference of the barcoded item. In this case the barcode is for a parent tool box which contains several “child” barcodes.

THE MANAGEMENT TOOL ANYONE CAN MANAGE.The world’s most advanced asset management system also happens

to be the most simple. Easy to learn – easier to operate. It adds up to

more accuracy and higher productivity. TCMax® puts who, what, when,

and where, right at your fingertips.

A DIFFERENCE YOU CAN SEE AND HEAR.A well-organized sign-out system. We think it starts with a

well-organized page. And ours is as simple and intuitive as it gets.

One screen covers both issue and turn-in. And with our unique audio

prompt/command system, we even tell

you what’s going on.

“ Incorporating the TCMax tool control system has saved the Automotive Technology program thousands of dollars in tool replacement expenses. Additionally, it saves time by easing the management of tool issue, calibration and utilization tracking. The system is tailored to promote accountability by the technicians as well as instilling a sense of pride.”

Wes Wojciechowski – Gateway Technical College


Items marked with red have dropped below their pre-determined minimum on-hand quantity. TC Max lets you instantly re-order through the TCMax Purchase Order screen.

TCMax can display a visual image of the inventory item.

Each inventory item has been assigned a barcode for instant status reports.

In this example “show expendables only” has been selected for instant status on all disposable inventory items.

PHYSICAL INVENTORY MODE.CUT COSTS AND ADD EFFICIENCY.Simple, fast and accurate. Just enter the information –

employee and location number and the number of the

trailer/truck/building being inventoried. Then quickly

start scanning barcodes. Keep going as long as you

keep hearing “turn in.” You’ll hear “enter quantity” for

multiples and “issue” when something is out of place.

We’ve had customers tell us this feature cuts inventory

time from a week to less than a day!

“Having a complete (and tested) inventory on a fire truck or ambulance is critical. With the TCMax software, we accomplish in hours what used to take days. One of the big pluses for us is the accuracy of the system. It discourages staff from taking shortcuts and doing a “speed inventory”.

Chief Tom Keimer – Margaretta Township

When seconds count, it’s critical to know your inventory is intact. The TC Max system makes sure nothing is overlooked and nothing is taken for granted. TCMax can also eliminate surprises by alerting you that disposables need to be re-ordered.

TCMax® can cut your inventory time by as much as 90%. The convenient remote PC unit lets you take inventory as fast as you can scan the items. You can also rely on TCMax to alert you to minimum quantities and items that have calibration or inspection schedules.

CHECK UP ON THE CHILDREN. AUTOMATICALLY.The advanced parent/child feature gives you total knowledge and total control

over your assets and equipment. That’s total peace of mind.

CONSUMABLES.A SYSTEM FOR CONSUMABLES THAT YOU CAN COUNT ON.All the information you need on consumables is

right there in front of you – on the same

screen you use for issue/turn-in. It’s

simple, easy and efficient. And, again,

it even talks to you.

CHANGING SHIFTS?MAKE CHANGES IN SECONDS.Incredibly simple. Just click the “shift change” menu option from

the main screen and make a couple of quick entries. Save time and

money by instantly transferring assets to the next-shift employee.

Easily customize the system to exclude certain assets from the

shift transfer or to limit the issue of certain assets to specific

employees, such as those not certified to use a certain tool.

Asset control isn’t just about saving time and saving money. Eliminating FOD (foreign object damage) can literally save lives. TCMax can also coordinate with your invoice process by tracking parts and supplies that are to be billed to a certain project.

TCMax works in all sorts of applications, across all sorts of industries. The software can also be adapted to your specific needs. TCMax is also built to grow with your growing business. One client, an electrical contractor, had this to say about TCMax ,“TCMax is an important asset for keeping track of our tool inventory. With 85 electricians taking tools to job sites every day, it would be impossible to maintain any type of control without it.”

SUMMARY OF REPORTS. TCMax is totally adaptable to your specific industry.

What do you need to know? Who do you need to keep

informed? Many customers add custom reports. All reports can be

filtered by date, time and dollar amount. You can also save reports

as an Excel™ spreadsheet or a PDF document. The sample below

shows a typical list of military reports, custom built for the

Air National Guard, U.S. Army, and U.S. Navy, used for

tool sign out and log/register.

TCMax can streamline your inventory time by up to 90%, saving you money again and again. A simple barcode system makes it easy to track assets and determine inventory as fast as you can scan the items. TCMax also discourages employees from doing “speed inventories” where they assume assets are in place.

THE SOFTWARE TALKS... AND SCORES OF INDUSTRIES LISTEN EVERYDAY.We don’t just talk the talk. TCMax® works. In all kinds of

applications across all kinds of industries, organizations

and government agencies. TCMax is made to fit your needs.

And we offer application-specific packages to maximize the

fit. But the basic idea is the same – across the board.

There is very little “adjusting” needed. So TCMax is up and

running faster with minimal integration costs. Here are a

few of the customers now using TCMax:

(at right) United Launch Alliance utilizes TCMax software in assembly of Delta IV rockets. Since they started using the TCMax system there has been zero tool-related foreign object damage.


“ The Delta launches have had no Foreign Object Damage (FOD) related to tool loss thanks to the tool accountability provided by the TCMax software suite.”
