Eliminate tooling compliance and operational risk with KIT
In automotive manufacturing, productivity depends on having the right tool, in the right condition, in the right place, every time. Missing tools, overdue calibrations and poor visibility create downtime, non-conformances and unnecessary cost.
KIT gives automotive manufacturers complete visibility and control of tooling, calibration and compliance across every site, shift and department through:
- instant visibility of tool status, location and ownership
- automated calibration scheduling and certificate management
- digital audit trails for compliance and traceability
- real-time dashboards and reporting across departments and sites
KIT helps automotive manufacturers maintain readiness for IATF 16949, ISO 9001 and OEM-specific audit requirements.
With KIT, quality teams gain confidence, engineers gain visibility, and production teams spend less time searching, chasing records and dealing with avoidable disruption.

Automotive tooling challenges that hold production back
Automotive manufacturers face increasing pressure to maintain compliance, reduce downtime and improve operational efficiency. KIT was designed specifically to address the everyday challenges that make those goals difficult to achieve.
Any of these sound familiar?
- “We don’t know who last borrowed the tool.”
- “We’re spending too much time tracking Calibration certificates across spreadsheets.”
- “The team can’t get on with our work as we’ve got to prepare for the next audit.”
- “We’re ordering some replacements, because we can’t find the original tools.”
- “No-one knows who’s responsible for those tools or where they go.”
- “Production stopped because the tools we needed weren’t available when the shift started.”
