Industry 4.0 will enable you to overcome the proprietary limitations encountered with traditional injection molding machines. Together, we will leverage digital transformation in line with international standards to give you unprecedented transparency and productivity.
The SYMESTIC consulting team offers expert advice on the digital transformation of injection molding – and on how best to achieve seamless integration with the entire value chain. We will enable you to implement Industry 4.0 and end-to-end digital solutions across all your production processes.
We will give you total visibility into your plant and equipment, and enable you to nip potential productivity problems in the bud.
Automatically capture KPIs on your injection molding system in real time, e.g. on OEE, availability, performance and quality. Be sure of reliable, actionable metrics as the basis for continuous improvement.
Capture the equipment parameters of relevance to product quality, automatically analyze them, generate traceability reports, and turn data into actionable quality insights.
SYMESTIC offers proven solutions that enable you to automatically give parts a precise, unique ID, and to assign them corresponding quality and process data for complete traceability and control.
Maintain complete visibility into all your production orders. See which product is currently being made on which injection molding machine, including information on good/bad parts.
Plan and optimize upcoming production orders, and make the most efficient use of your resources. Ensure you are in a position to respond quickly to changing customer needs.
Digital transformation of injection molding includes seamless integration with your ERP system – for the exchange of production orders, alignment with MRP, material orders, capture of consumption figures, etc.
Centrally manage your target parameters for each mold/tool, and transfer them directly to the specific machine. From your central point of administration, you can view the settings for each injection molding machine, and can identify any unauthorized changes by the shop-floor operator.
To ensure consistently high quality, you need to monitor tool wear and tear. Identify the need for maintenance in good time.
Enjoy access to accurate information anywhere, anytime. State-of the-art technologies give you total visibility – in your factory or on the road.
SYMESTIC IMM Controller coordinates and monitors flows of materials and data within a cell and on the injection molding machine itself. It also ensures the smooth interaction of all components and operations, such as granulate supply, robots and handling systems, image processing, scales, downstream production systems, reworking, labeling and more.
Standardized interfaces are vital to effective, seamless machine connectivity. With the imperatives of Industry 4.0 in mind, EUROMAP has specified a number of important information models based on OPC UA for injection molding:
In the future, these standardized interfaces will be made available by most manufacturers for their new models. And we support them all. However, in practice, most current production environments comprise a variety of very diverse and proprietary interfaces and protocols (OPC DA, Euromap 63, $* and digital signals). So it is a challenge to incorporate these many differing machines and data transmission technologies into your digital transformation strategy.
We will show you how to overcome these hurdles, and successfully enter a new age of transparency and connectivity.
We will show you how our MES solution empowers you to revolutionize your production operations and create a smart digital factory. Simply arrange a time that suits you.
