The ability to trace and track all production processes and changes allows for advanced optimization, improved productivity, and a significant reduction in defects. When paired with Industry 4.0, the possibilities (and challenges) are abundant. ToolsTalk 2 is Atlas Copco’s answer to this challenge.
What's ToolsTalk 2?
ToolsTalk 2 is a client-server-based software solution for both handheld and fixtured tooling. This powerful software provides complete visibility and traceability to the entire line structure, which allows users to achieve a major reduction in human errors and product defects.

User administration: Avoid unauthorized changes made to the line
Perhaps one of the most important features of ToolsTalk 2 is its user administration function. User administration on ToolsTalk 2 is a feature that enables customizable access and editing rights for every user in the plant. Using Microsoft’s Active Directory platform, user rights and permissions can be controlled down to a global function level, effectively avoiding unauthorized changes that are often the culprit of line stops, program errors, and product defects.
With the user administration function, access rights per user are completely controlled, and all changes made on the line are traced for full visibility.

Programming archive: See everything on the line
The programming archive function of ToolsTalk 2 is another effective method of providing users with complete traceability on their line. The programming archive feature automatically archives all tightening programs applied. Included in this archive is information regarding any and all changes made to tightening programs, such as who made the change, when the change was made, and why.
The programming archive feature also allows users to compare, extract, and print changes between previous and new programs. Further, users can ‘rollback’ to a previous program easily, should a programming error occur.
