Quick Service Summary
- Parent Domain: Industrial IoT Solutions
- Execution Model: Custom Engineering Scope
- Verification: Bench & Functional Testing
- Delivery Deliverables: Schematics, Code & Documentation
The Engineering Challenge
Injection molding shops struggle with unrecorded mold changeovers, operator cycle tampering, cooling time variations, and untracked scrap parts.
The Desired Outcome
Automated monitoring of shot counts, mold open/close cycles, barrel temperatures, rejection logs, and machine utilization without bypassing safety interlocks.
Core Technical Capabilities
Application-specific engineering focused on reliability, performance, and maintainability.
Connectivity via Euromap 63/77, Modbus, or direct PLC digital inputs
Automated shot counting, cycle time measurement, and cushion/pressure tracking
Mold allocation verification and shot life accumulation tracking
Downtime reason prompt integration via operator terminal
Shift-based production totals compared against target quotas
Centralized plant-floor view of all operating injection molding presses
Technical Approach
We interface with controller communication ports or cycle limit switches to capture the precise shot timestamp. Telemetry is streamed to the IIoT server to calculate performance metrics and alert supervisors of cycle delays.
Required Customer Inputs
Molding machine make/model, controller brand, available communication options, list of active molds, and shift operating hours.
Project Deliverables
- Machine interface hardware configuration (gateway / I/O module)
- Injection molding dashboard with machine-wise telemetry and mold records
- Downtime classification structure tailored to plastics processing
- Integration guide and shift production reporting schedules
Scope Boundaries & Safety Safeguards
Cannot bypass machine hydraulic, electrical, or safety interlocks. Hydraulic modifications are excluded. TC Smart Technology adheres to transparent engineering standards: solutions do not bypass machine safety interlocks, and all AI features retain human-in-the-loop governance.
