Plastics ERP · Injection moulding
Quote parts from real resin, cavity and cycle time data. Plan jobs on machines that fit the mould, count every shot, watch temperatures and pressures, and see what each part really cost against the quote.
Each cycle has four parts. Hover a part to see its share. Cooling is usually the biggest, so it is where most time can be saved. Example 20 s cycle.
Move the sliders. Resin, machine time and rejects add up to a cost per part, parts per hour and cost per 1,000. Example values; use your own rates.
Shot counts update from the machines. Moulds near their service interval turn amber, then red, so maintenance happens before a breakdown. Example moulds.
Each parameter has a window. Needles move with live readings; if one leaves the window, the shot is flagged and the supervisor alerted. Example readings.
Moulds need enough clamp tonnage and shot size. ● is the best fit, ○ will work but wastes a bigger machine, × will not fit. The ERP plans with these rules.
Nine connected features. Each links to the related part of the ERP.

Answers for owners, plant heads and planners.
It runs a moulding plant end to end: quotes and part costing, machine and mould planning, shot counts, process records, quality, regrind, inventory and dispatch, with each job's real cost compared to the quote.
Resin cost per part = (part weight + runner share) × resin price, less any regrind credit. Conversion cost per part = machine hour rate × cycle time ÷ (3,600 × cavities). Add packing and overheads, then allow for rejects.
Usually injection, holding pressure, cooling and mould open, eject and close. Cooling is often the longest part, so mould design and water temperature matter a lot.
Each mould needs a machine with enough clamp tonnage, shot size and platen space. The ERP only offers machines that fit, and plans jobs to cut mould changes.
Shot counts come from the machine or the operator app. Each mould has a maintenance interval, and the ERP warns before it is due.
Yes. Melt and mould temperatures, injection and hold pressures and cycle time can be recorded per shot or per hour, with alerts when they leave the set window.
Runners and rejects are weighed, ground and returned to stock as regrind. Rules limit how much regrind goes into each part to protect quality.
Yes. The same planning, mould and costing features work for rubber compression and transfer moulding, with cure time in place of cooling.
