EFI Automatic Tooling Inventory Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens EFI, checks the dies and tooling needed by jobs scheduled in the next few days against the tool room register, logs anything overdue for sharpening, damaged, or missing to a Google Sheet, and posts your team a Slack alert ranked by how soon it's needed.
How do I catch missing or overdue die tooling before a press run?
WebRun checks your die and tooling register in EFI against every job scheduled for the next few days. It flags anything overdue for sharpening, damaged, or missing, logs each to a Google Sheet, and posts your operations team a ranked Slack alert each morning, so a missing die gets found before it stalls a press run.
- Missing or overdue tooling is caught days before a press run needs it
- The tool room gets a ranked chase list instead of a last-minute scramble
- A running sheet shows which dies need maintenance most often

Questions, answered
Does it tell the customer if tooling is missing?
No. The tooling list stays internal, logged to your sheet and posted to Slack for the tool room and production team. It never contacts a customer.
How does it know which die a job needs?
It reads the die and tooling requirement recorded on each job in EFI and checks that tool's condition and last maintenance date in the register.
Is it safe to run every morning unattended?
Yes. It only reads job and tooling records and posts an internal alert. Nothing in EFI is changed and no order is affected.
