Plastics Manufacturing ERP: Tool & Die Maintenance, Multi-Cavity Molds & Regrind Scrap
Extend expensive injection mold life with automated shot count maintenance alerts. Accurately account for regrind resin blending and multi-cavity cycle times.
Source Integrity Rule: Automated digital shot counter hardware interface subject to plant sensor type [PRODUCT CAPABILITY TO CONFIRM].
Mandatory Regulatory & Quality Standards
Operational Bottlenecks in Plastics, Injection Molding & Extrusion
Challenge 01
Unplanned mold breakdowns caused by operating dies beyond recommended service shot counts
Challenge 02
Inaccurate costing when reground runner scrap is mixed back with virgin polymer pellets
Challenge 03
Blocked mold cavities resulting in lower output counts than planned machine hours suggest
End-to-End Shop Floor Execution Workflow
Resin & Masterbatch Inward
Polymer resin lots logged with melt flow index (MFI) and moisture specs before drying.
Mold Staging & Machine Clamping
Mold asset assigned to injection machine; shot counter synced to machine cycle monitor.
Injection Molding Run
Cycle time, cooling time, and active cavity count recorded per machine stroke.
Runner Granulation & Regrind
Sprues and runners fed into beside-the-press granulators and returned to resin batch with strict ratio caps.

Frequently Asked Architecture & Compliance Questions
How does Werkora handle blocked or disabled mold cavities?
Supervisors can update active cavity counts on a running mold (e.g. 7 of 8 cavities active), automatically recalculating material usage and required machine strokes.
