Tooling system
A tooling system may comprise a tool scanner, a tool database, and a user interface device. The tool scanner may be configured to scan a tool identifier on a tool. The tool database may have tool information associated with the tool identifier. The user interface device may be in communication with the tool scanner and the tool database. The user interface device may receive tool information from the tool database in response to the scan by the tool scanner, concurrently display a tool issue description and a tool issue image from the tool information of the tool database, receive a tool area selection with respect to the tool issue image, and provide access to a tool issue history from the tool database in response to the tool area selection.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the tool identifier is at least one of a bar code, a quick response (QR) code, a universal product code (UPC), and a radiofrequency identification (RFID).
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the tool scanner includes at least one of a code scanner, a cellular phone, or an optical machine.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the tool database includes a cloud database.
8. A method of using a tooling system comprising:
providing a tool scanner configured to scan a tool identifier on a tool, a tool database having tool information associated with the tool identifier, and a user interface device in communication with the tool scanner and the tool database;
receiving tool information from the tool database in response to the scan by the tool scanner,
concurrently displaying a tool issue description, a tool issue image from the tool information of the tool database, and a plurality of sections on the tool issue image, the plurality of sections including first and second sections on a cavity side of a mold and third and fourth sections on a core side of the mold,
receiving a tool area selection with respect to at least one of the plurality of sections on the tool issue image, and
providing access to a tool issue history from the tool database in response to the tool area selection of the at least one of the plurality of sections,
wherein the tool information includes tool set-up information, design information, maintenance instructions, tool condition, manufacture date, warranty information, and authenticity information from the tool information of the tool database.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user interface device further concurrently displays boxes, windows, areas, or buttons associated with the tool set-up information, design information, maintenance instructions, tool condition, manufacture date, warranty information, and authenticity information from the tool information of the tool database.
10. The method of claim 8 , further concurrently displaying a tool location from at least one of a global positioning system (GPS) and cellular triangulation.
11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising sending tool information to a predetermined list of contacts associated with the tool.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the tool identifier is at least one of a bar code, a quick response (QR) code, a universal product code (UPC), and a radiofrequency identification (RFID).
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the tool scanner includes at least one of a code scanner, a cellular phone, or an optical machine.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the tool database includes a cloud database.
15. A tooling system providing operations comprising:
provide a tool scanner configured to scan a tool identifier on a tool, a tool database having tool information associated with the tool identifier, and a user interface device in communication with the tool scanner and the tool database;
