The disclosure relates to a method for interacting with a user of a rechargeable-battery-operated machining tool, which can be supplied with energy by means of an exchangeable rechargeable battery pack or exchangeable rechargeable battery. According to the disclosure, in one method step a power characteristic variable of the exchangeable rechargeable battery pack or exchangeable rechargeable battery is sensed by means of a sensing unit of the rechargeable-battery-operated machining tool and/or of the exchangeable rechargeable battery pack or exchangeable rechargeable battery at defined times during the operation of the rechargeable-battery-operated machining tool, and in an additional method step the frequency with which the exchangeable rechargeable battery pack or exchangeable rechargeable battery has been operated at its power limit is calculated. The disclosure also relates to a system, comprising a rechargeable-battery-operated machining tool and an exchangeable rechargeable battery pack or exchangeable rechargeable battery, for carrying out the method.

A drill system including a drill and a secondary computing device. The drill includes a housing, a controller, a wireless transceiver, a motor, and a chuck. The motor, the controller and the wireless transceiver are housed in the housing. The chuck is selectively driven by the motor. The secondary computing device includes a wireless transceiver which allows wireless communication between the drill and the secondary computing device. The secondary computing device further includes a user interface configured to allow an operator to change operating parameters of the drill. The operating parameters are configured to be automatically reset.

A power tool includes a housing, a motor, a first sensor configured to generate first sensor data related to a movement of the power tool, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive the first sensor data from the first sensor between a first operation and second operation of the power tool, wherein the first sensor data is related to the movement of the power tool, determine a change in position of the power tool based on the first sensor data, determine that the second operation of the power tool is complete based on the change in position of the power tool, and output an indication to a user interface to alert a user that the second operation was completed.

A system for controlling operations during production of an assembly of parts is provided. The system includes a tool for performing manual operations on a plurality of elements of the assembly of parts, and locating means integrated at least in part into an electronic module attached to the tool and able to determine a location of at least one operation associated with an element by locating the position of the tool in a three-dimensional coordinate system associated with a set of modelling data representing a three-dimensional modelled image of the assembly of parts. The locating means includes a depth camera belonging to the electronic module and a processing module able to estimate the position of the portable hand tool on the basis of images captured by the depth camera.

A drill system including a drill and a secondary computing device. The drill includes a housing, a controller, a wireless transceiver, a motor, and a chuck. The motor, the controller and the wireless transceiver are housed in the housing. The chuck is selectively driven by the motor. The secondary computing device includes a wireless transceiver which allows wireless communication between the drill and the secondary computing device. The secondary computing device further includes a user interface configured to allow an operator to change operating parameters of the drill. The operating parameters are configured to be automatically reset.

A position sensing tool for enabling topographical measurements of a working surface is provided. The tool includes sensors for mapping the tool environment and for positioning of the tool within the environment. The tool enables tracking of tool activity within the environment. The tool enables design and fabrication collaboration with other computer systems. The tool enables user and tool environment safety using tool positional, user position and tool environment awareness. Certain embodiments of the tool permit automated guidance of tasks in the tool environment.

A decision system includes an identifier and a decider. The identifier identifies, based on a captured image generated by an image capturing unit attached to a tool, a work target shot as a subject of the captured image as one of a plurality of work targets. The decider decides whether a first work target included in the plurality of work targets is a mistakable work target by comparing, by reference to at least one reference image, the first work target with a second work target also included in the work targets. If the second work target is similar to the first work target, the second work target makes the first work target the mistakable work target difficult to identify based on the captured image. The at least one reference image belongs to a plurality of reference images corresponding one to one to the plurality of work targets.
