ETML – European Tool Machine Language

ETML (European Tool Machine Language) is the innovative language standard for tool descriptions developed by leading European manufacturers in the woodworking industry. It ensures consistent and secure data exchange throughout the entire lifecycle of tools and machines.

Unlike proprietary systems where each manufacturer uses its own language, ETML provides a cross-manufacturer language that overcomes barriers between different machines, tools, and software.

ETML also ensures transparency and reliability through verified data that is accessible at any time via the ETML Smart Cloud (the dedicated platform for uploading and transferring information). It unites all supply chain participants who adopt the standard and adapt their tools accordingly into a fully integrated ecosystem.

Key benefits include improved process efficiency, maximum transparency, increased information security, simplified machine setup with fewer errors, and faster results.

ETML represents a new way of industrial production where interoperability and standardization promote competitiveness.

With ETML, the barrier-free future of woodworking is already a reality.

The ETML Smart Cloud is a shared platform where verified tool data can be uploaded, managed, and downloaded directly to the machines. Each ETML-compliant tool is assigned a unique serial number for easy identification. Everyone involved in the process benefits from up-to-date and verified tool data, enabling efficient machine setup and full integration into digital workflows.
