MATRIX, an automated tool dispenser that is an integral
        shop-floor-level element of a smart factory,  tool assembly
        options in 3D and 2D formats in E-CAT, ISCAR’s
        electronic catalog – these are a few examples of products
        intended to unify the material and virtual worlds of smart
        manufacturing.

        Smart Scan
        Data on ISCAR's tool dimensions, inserts,
        appropriate tool holders and recommended cutting
        data is accessible via the ISCAR 4.0 Pro mobile
        application, developed for maximizing tooling
        utilization. ISCAR 4.0 Pro is a smart 2D
        M barcode scanner that acts as a digital gateway to
        advanced tooling resources of the company, so that
        customers can make better decisions regarding tool
        selection and their realization on the shop floor. The
        information corresponds to the ISO13399 standard
        and to the tool assembly, cutting conditions, tool
        material grades, weight, user manuals,  and other
        items. The data is accessible by scanning the 2D
        Data M barcode, which appears on ISCAR tools
        and product packages.
