Description
With the Injection Molding Market-Ready Kit, you can monitor your Injection Molding Machine and send all of the information to your network, ERP System or other business intelligence software. It is a NO CODE, plug-and-play solution.
WHAT IS MONITORED
- Job Duration
- Material Used
- Material Dew Point
- Material Flow Rate
- Material Level in Hopper
- Thermolater Flow Rate
- Average Manifold Temperature
- Fluid Temperature (to and from Manifold)
- Average Hopper Temperature, Humidity
- Set Up Time, Hold Time, Cool Down Time
- Amount of Material Used Per Job, Per Hour or Per Minute
- Number of Units Yielded Per Job
- Cost Per Unit, Cost Per Run (Material and Energy)
- Environmental Factors (Temperature, Humidity)
- Machine Utilization/Uptime
DATA USAGE
-
- Monitor machine characteristics for anomolies during production run.
- Adjust machine settings in real-time to keep desired manifold and hopper temperature maintained.
- Compare output and product quality based on material used.
- Compare output and product quality of various machines.
- Root cause product nonconformance caused by equipment deviations.
- Pinpoint equipment deviations for predictive maintenance and repairs.
- Monitor usage for production scheduling and energy efficiency.
- Forecast and track per run production cost (including energy cost)
- Track environmental effects on product quality and machine performance.
- Check machine usage hours to trigger notification for routine maintenance.
- Run simulations to see what changes in the process yield efficiencies.
- Get OEE numbers for each machine.
The data collected is so fine-grained that equipment feature deviations can be specifically targeted in real-time. Having such detailed data also assists in upgrading equipment predictive maintenance programs, as well as focused troubleshooting relating to equipment.
