Abstract: Sheet metal forming is a critical process in the manufacturing industry, which involves shaping sheet metal into desired configurations and structures.The use of digital tools in the lifecycle management of sheet metal forming tools has become increasingly important to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of the process.The digital model of tool lifecycle management (TLM) in sheet metal forming provides a complete approach to manage the entire lifecycle of tools used in sheet metal forming.It enables optimization of tool design, simulation of the tooling process, real-time monitoring of tool conditions, and retirement and replacement of tools.This approach improves efficiency, reduces costs, and ensures optimal performance in sheet metal forming.The paper presents an elaborate analysis of the development of TLM models concerning the progress in ICT modelling and its implementation in the field of sheet metal forming.Furthermore, the paper includes an exemplary TLM model for an industrial enterprise. INTRODUCTORY NOTESWith the Industry 4.0 model, smart manufacturing enables many advantages for the metal industry.One of the most significant benefits is the quick adaptation of manufacturing to customer demands, with better productivity, efficiency, and quality [1].When implemented correctly, smart manufacturing (SM) increases the ability to monitor the entire manufacturing process and adapt it to achieve optimized production throughout.The workshop (WS) in our example uses Manufacturing Execution System (MES), a real-time system that integrates data from multiple sources to monitor and control the manufacturing process.MES plays a vital role in SM by collecting and analysing production data from various equipment and sensors, automated operations, and manual processes, delivering this information to all manufacturing stakeholders and providing real-time status updates.
