Mold monitoring ascends into the cloud

Nov. 22, 2021
Mold-Masters’ SmartMOLD mold-monitoring system now features a completely cloud-based software platform.

SmartMOLD Mold-Masters’ mold-monitoring system collects process data from sensors embedded within injection molds. It also can pull data from the injection molding machine and is compatible with any brand of mold or press. It provides users with 24/7 access to real-time data, allowing them to see critical details about their facilities and molds from a global perspective. The system’s filters let users focus on specific projects or regions. Molders can compare productivity from shift to shift and track downtime, scrap rates and when maintenance is completed. Reports on a wide variety of statistics can be scheduled to run at regular intervals and can be presented in easy-to-understand charts.  

What’s new? A cloud-based software platform. The company has completely revamped the system, making it 100 percent cloud-based. SmartMOLD also has a new mobile app and modern and intuitive user interface with fast navigation. The software platform allows data to be transferred into existing ERP and MES systems. 

Benefits Enhanced productivity and security. The system enables predictive maintenance and can be scaled to users’ facility and budget requirements. SmartMOLD provides unlimited data storage, private and dedicated servers, and robust data security with guaranteed, end-to-end protection. Additionally, Mold-Masters furnishes global installation and technical support.
