Walter Tool Management: Apollo Machines & Welding's Journey to Efficiency

In today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, efficiency is the name of the game. For Canadian oil and gas equipment supplier Apollo Machine , staying ahead meant addressing a critical bottleneck: Tool Management. In a recent partnership with Walter, Apollo embarked on a transformative journey that's redefining industry standards.

Apollo's growth trajectory was impressive, but it came with its own set of challenges. As operations expanded, traditional tool management systems struggled to keep pace. Recognizing the need for change, Wayne Norton, CEO of Apollo, took decisive action.

Since March 2023, Apollo has been at the forefront of innovation, implementing a Digital Tool Management solution managed by Walter in collaboration with TDM Systems , and Omega TMM . The results speak volumes: significant efficiency gains, translating into six-figure savings within months.

What sets Apollo's approach apart is their commitment to proactive guidance and collaborative solutions. Change management played a pivotal role in ensuring that every team member was empowered to embrace the transformation. Marcus Schur, Head of Tool Management Solutions at Walter, underscores the importance of this holistic approach.

Despite challenges like the pandemic and supply chain disruptions, Apollo and Walter pressed forward. Today, Apollo's new processes and systems, powered by Walter technology, has slashed set-up times by 70% paving the way for expanded innovations across all production areas.

As Apollo continues to leverage data-driven insights for future growth, their journey serves as a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration in driving industry excellence.
