Monitoring and Production Control in Mould Making

The M-Box system for mould making operates very similarly to the other applications in terms of monitoring whether the factory equipment is operating and electricity consumption (and control electricity waste) per machine, machine group or department.

Overall Efficiency

Electricity Consumption

Record of Actions

Actions taken by supervisor in response to notifications

Instant Notifications

Send alerts on operational issues according to selected settings

Planning and tracking

Cost Price Analysis

Increase added value of the system in mould making by using the elaborate smart card system to track individual projects during their complete journey through the factory for production planning, progress monitoring and detailed cost price analysis.

Quantitative Information

Quantitative information on Quality Checks with inspector’s identification

Instant notifications

Depending on the issue, relevant officers (management/supervisor, maintenance, QC) will receive an instant notification on which they will have to act and feedback to the system after solving.

Production interruptions

For production interruptions on any machines, the system can be set to alert supervisor via a notification. The machine operator indicates the problem via pre-set buttons on the M-Box:

  • Machine defective / Maintenance
  • No operator available for production
  • Program Problem
  • Change Parts
  • No Wire (EDM only)

Electricity waste

When a machine consumes electricity without producing, a notification is sent. Most of the time the operator forgot to switch off the machine. Any a-typical electricity consumption should be flagged to responsible persons as this may involve safety issues.

For auxiliary equipment electricity waste monitoring we recommend our auxiliary monitor boxes.

Mould Making

Real Time Monitoring

The M-Box system for mould making operates very similar to the other applications in terms of monitoring whether the factory equipment is operating and electricity consumption (and control electricity waste) per machine, machine group or department.

Mould Cost Analysis

To achieve set targets in cost analysis and cost control of the projects (the moulds in production) we introduce a smart card system that monitors and records all relevant data of the different phases of production.
All project-related smart cards come with easy-recognizable color codes.

Part and mould drawing

(4 cards)

CNC programming

(2 cards)

Manufacturing

Mould Base (2 cards)
Core and cavity (2 cards)
Inserts (16 cards)
Ejection system (2 cards)
Electrodes (32 cards)

M-box staff tracking

M-box staff tracking keeps track of who is on the premises and their working hours. People that are off-duty can select not to be disturbed by notifications.

Efficiency

Complete production efficiency transparency is achieved and data are available for analysis of:
Different locations
Different department
Equipment type
Equipment groups
Individual machines

The True Cost Price

For every completed project (mould) the system automatically calculates the true cost price based on power consumption, material cost, operator cost and allocated overhead cost (as predetermined in the settings)

Universally Applicable

M-Box can be used on any brand of injection moulding or casting equipment. During ordering we will request details of the moulding machine to make sure the correct type of electricity consumption meter is selected
