Plastic Moulding · OEE & Monitoring

Plastic moulding monitoring that counts every shot.

Shot-level cycle tracking per mould, cavity-aware part counts, downtime split into mould change, material wait and breakdown, energy per good part, and predictive maintenance for heaters, pumps and motors. Built for injection moulding shops.

What moulding floors lose today

The losses every moulder knows, and nobody measures.

Shot loss

Cycle-time creep

A 2-second creep on a 30-second cycle is about 6% of capacity. Invisible daily, brutal monthly.

Rejection

Rejects without a reason

Short shots, flash and sink marks logged against the exact shot and machine state, not a shift-end guess.

Energy

₹ per good part unknown

Heaters and hydraulics draw power whether you mould or not. Energy per good part, per mould, finally a number.

What is cycle creep costing on one machine?

Set a real mould. The loss is small per shot and large per year.

Nobody notices two seconds per shot. MachineWise baselines every mould on every machine and flags the drift the day it starts, not the month the order ships late.

Purpose-built

OEE, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance for moulding.

Live OEE

OEE for this floor

  • Shot count and cycle time per mould, auto-baselined
  • Availability split: mould change, material wait, breakdown
  • Performance vs best demonstrated cycle per mould
  • Changeover time tracked per mould pair
Condition

CBM for these machines

  • Barrel-zone temperature drift
  • Hydraulic pressure decay trends
  • Oil temperature watch
  • Clamp-force consistency signals
Predictive

PdM for these failure modes

  • Heater-band failure from thermal signatures
  • Pump and motor wear from current creep
  • Mould-health scoring across runs
  • 48–96h warnings before a line-stopping fault
Coverage

Every machine in a moulding shop.

Presses

Injection moulding machines

Hydraulic, servo-hydraulic and all-electric IMMs from 60 to 3500 tonnes.

Other processes

Blow moulding

Cycle, downtime and energy tracking on blow-moulding lines.

Auxiliaries

Chillers, dryers, MTCs

Auxiliary health and energy, because a failed dryer stops the press too.

Questions

Straight answers.

How does MachineWise monitor injection moulding machines?
It records every shot and cycle time per mould, splits downtime into mould change, material wait and breakdown, computes OEE against the best demonstrated cycle for that mould, and tracks energy per good part. Hydraulic and servo IMMs from 60 to 3500 tonnes are covered, along with blow moulding and auxiliaries.
Are part counts cavity-aware?
Yes. Parts are counted as shots × cavities for the mould that is actually loaded, so a mould change updates the count automatically. More on counting in injection moulding machine monitoring.
What is cycle-time creep and why does it matter?
Creep is a slow increase in cycle time: a couple of seconds per shot from temperature drift, a worn check ring or a conservative setting. On a 30-second cycle, 2 seconds is about 6% of capacity, invisible daily and expensive monthly.
Can it predict heater band or hydraulic failures?
Yes. Thermal signatures give early warning of heater-band failure, and current creep flags pump and motor wear, feeding predictive maintenance with its typical 48–96 hour window.
Does it track energy per part for moulding?
Yes. Heaters and hydraulics draw power whether you mould or not, so energy per good part is tracked per mould and per machine. See energy monitoring.
