Here are some of the features of the system which are particularly attractive to our customers who make injection moulded parts.

• The system handles family tools which make two or more different parts in one cycle.
• You can record blocked cavities on multi-cavity tools to keep your parts count accurate.
• Traceability to container level allows the system to control long production runs where the first parts made have been delivered to the customer while the first operation of the works order is still in production.
• The system records actual material used on each works order, so stock accuracy is very good, and the material used for scrapped parts is automatically recorded.
• Raw materials in silos can supply more than one machine at the same time without losing material traceability.
• Machine monitoring gives immediate visibility of works order progress. It gives you the information you need to improve your OEE.
• The monitoring system accumulates the number of cycles experienced by each tool, and schedules planned maintenance accordingly.
• The changeover monitoring module gives visibility during tool changes and helps to reduce setting times.
• The system can interface with electronic scales to check moulded weights and to weigh-count parts into finished stock.
• SPC sampling intervals can be based on the count of parts made rather than time intervals. This reduces the number of samples taken without reducing quality.
• The system can produce carton labels with unique serial numbers at the machine to make each carton traceable through to the customer.
• The system can product serially numbered component labels for safety critical components.
