Manufacturing and Industrial
Software for Plastic Manufacturing
Mould-based production with cycle times, cavity counts, regrind reuse and machine-linked output.
Moulding operations are machine-driven and highly repetitive. Output depends on cycle time and cavity count, scrap can often be reground and reused, and changing a mould costs productive hours. Costing accuracy depends on capturing machine time and material consumption per run rather than estimating them.
What gets in the way
- Machine cycle time and cavity count determine output but are not recorded against orders
- Regrind material reuse is not tracked, distorting material cost
- Mould changeover time is lost capacity that nobody quantifies
- Rejection rates vary by mould and machine without being analysed
- Raw material price volatility is not reflected in quotations quickly
What the software handles
- Production runs linked to machine and mould
- Material consumption including virgin and regrind proportions
- Cycle time and output capture per run
- Rejection recording by cause, mould and machine
- Changeover time tracked as downtime
What changes
- True material cost including regrind reuse
- Rejection patterns traced to specific moulds or machines
- Changeover losses visible and reducible
