The closed innovation tender GOP-1.3.1-11/A-2012-0088 won by the company in 2012 aims to introduce a complex, efficient laser machining technology capable of machining high-strength steel parts. As new products with higher added value have become available and this technology is the basis of this project, the company is considered an innovative SME on the basis of this successful application. Out of the 50 machining equipment operating in the company, 27 machines provide real-time data, i.e. 54 % of the machines use real-time data collection function. Based on this, the company conducts production planning and optimisation through the abas ERP system on a daily basis during the production of all products. For some of Tom-Ferr Zrt.'s customers, Tom-Ferr Zrt. continuously manages the stocks, as stipulated in a separate contract. Of the 50 equipment used in the company, 30 are PLC controlled, so that at least 20 % of the machines are PLC programming.

Its occupational health and safety system is certified according to OHAS 18001 and the supplier activity of automotive metal parts manufacturers is ISO/TS 16949:2009. In the course of its manufacturing activities, the company uses the abas corporate governance system to identify and trace materials, semi-finished and finished products, which can also communicate with the electronic systems of the company’s customers through a standard electronic data transmission system. The machines to be procured under the project are connected to TOM-FERR Zrt. They are involved in stock optimisation, are PLC-controlled, connected to the modern warehouse management system, are able to communicate with the customer systems. The manufactured products are subject to modern tracking and predictive maintenance of the machines is carried out according to ISO system.
