Digital Transformation & AI Revoulution for Injection Moulding Industry

M18 ERP monitors and manages the whole lifecycle of moulding process. Start from mould parameters, mould cavity data and mould condition to mould maintenance and warranty. M18 ERP even empowers automatic calculation and statistics for the number of product that a moulding machine can produce. Tightly coupled with the automatic reminder feature for mould checking, M18 ERP provides the valuable and actionable insights from a full dimension moulding management by monitoring the moulding production process.

Feature-rich M18 ERP with comprehensive and diverse moulding model management, including:

• Tooling,
• Vacuum Moulding,
• Alternative Moulding,
• Mould Insert,
• Produce Multiple Injection Semi-finished Products at a time,
• Produce more than one type of Injection Semi-finished Products at a time, etc.

M18 ERP is renowned for its feature-rich modules and agility. Collaborated with M18 ERP, it empowers BOM formula setup based on the weight of every item. It automatically calculates the required or abraded materials for each injection moulding product according to the prebuilt formula. Such user-friendly, comprehensive and accurate BOM platform avoids manually inputting BOM items as well as ensures the data accuracy. Enterprise absolutely completes moulding process more efficiently with intelligent and advanced tools.

The powerful re-grind management form the core of M18 ERP which assists enterprise to perform re-grind effectively by well reusing material for production and reducing material cost. M18 ERP compiles an extensive management for reusing and monitoring the wasted material produced during moulding, for example material wasted in the sprue, runners, gate locations, etc. With robust M18 ERP automatic calculation of re-grind, M18 ERP offers valuable and actionable insights for enterprise to systematically analyse and allocate the material based on accurate solid data.

Robust M18 ERP production module generates structured and precise production scheduling based on processing time and accurate deadlines for each moulding machine/ work centre/ working progress/ shift. Collaborated with the workload data, the production schedule is generated automatically in order to reflect the capacity of each moulding machine/ work centre/ working progress/ shift and increase the efficiency in scheduling and avoid overscheduling due to employee theft and administrative losses. By the accurate production scheduling, M18 ERP avoids the inaccuracy on production time caused by moulding large amount or multiple type of semi-finished products at one time to perform a better efficiency production schedule.

The depth of functionality and agility are well-demonstrated in M18 ERP production module. M18 ERP production module seamlessly collaborates with bill of materials based on enterprise actual status, such as available moulding machine, production index, re-grind rate, etc. to calculate the needed materials for each production order. With the flexible material picking and parts sticking management, enterprises can define appropriate picking method based on practical situation, such as order picking, batch/ consolidated picking, back flushing, etc. M18 ERP monitors lifecycle of manufacturing process, starting from picking materials to production and dispatch which minimise the waste and cost of materials and improve the accuracy of material cost calculation.
