Take Control of Every Cycle in Injection and Extrusion

In plastics and packaging, profit hides in cycle times measured in seconds and in the life of your molds. IoTRI MES tracks each mold's shot count and maintenance needs through its call and equipment module, and makes cycle times, scrap and energy consumption visible per machine.

Industry Challenges

Mold life and maintenance timing not tracked, leading to long stoppages from unexpected mold failures
Actual cycle times drifting from theoretical values without the deviation ever reaching the capacity plan
Scrap rates that cannot be broken down by machine, mold or raw material
No reliable data on how long mold changeovers actually take, leaving SMED initiatives without a baseline

How IoTRI MES Solves It

Mold Life and Maintenance Tracking

The call and equipment module counts every mold's shots; maintenance calls open automatically as thresholds approach, making unplanned mold downtime predictable.

Cycle Time Optimization

Actual cycle times are monitored in real time per machine and product; deviations from theoretical values surface immediately and feed the capacity plan with real data.

Scrap and Energy Visibility

Scrap rates are reported by machine, mold and raw material; energy consumption is linked to output, revealing the true picture of unit cost.

Quick Changeover (SMED) Visibility

Mold changeover times are measured automatically and compared across machines, so your SMED work builds on real downtime data instead of estimates.

With IoTRI, plastics and packaging manufacturers make mold-related unplanned downtime predictable and see cycle and scrap losses per machine in real time.
