Cycle times go up quietly. By the time it shows in the numbers, days have already been lost.
Machines working in the automatic modes often reach extended material refilling downtimes, which result in temperature drops and are often compensated by steaming and cooling times increase.
Downtimes and energy consumption increase the cost of moulding.
Separated systems are calculating estimated capacity based on the current OEE - overall equipment effectiveness.
Downtimes and scraps are not recorded automatically, and therefore corrective actions for process and adjustments for planning are done manually and are time-consuming.
Our Monitor application sits next to the machine and automatically links downtimes with quality reasons for scrap and process sensor output.
It enables users to understand when downtime occurred, why and what the effect was on moulded parts.
Corrective and preventive actions can be taken immediately instead of the next morning briefing, and all actions are recorded and catalogued for easy access in the future when a similar failure mode occurs.
