The document discusses a tool called Mold-ID that aims to increase transparency and process optimization in production. Currently, tool inspection is dependent on employee experience and notes, and maintenance is often only done after quality issues occur. Mold-ID addresses this by automatically counting production cycles, documenting tool information, and visualizing tool status to enable preventative maintenance and reduce unplanned downtime.

Tools are subject to wear and tear and must be regularly maintained.
Inspection of the tools is often dependent on the experience values of individual employees, handwritten notes or planned figures in the ERP system that are not available to everyone or that are not monitored.
In many cases the maintenance or inspection is only carried out
when the produced parts no longer fulfill the required quality standards or if the mold fails at its service.
That causes unplanned downtime of the machine and is not acceptable.

•Better utilization of the machines and molds (less unplanned downtime) by:
•Continuous counting of the shots
•Automatic documentation at the mold
•Visualization system of the status and
•Note on the due date of the next maintenance.
•Transparency of implementation use identically designed molds through the documentation of the shot and recording the last maintenance of mold by means of RFID.
•Overview of all molds that are currently running on the machines, through access to the systems over the company network via TCP/IP; alternatively via WLAN.

•Reduction of error-prone system discontinuities, e.g. paper in accordance with PDA or PDA in accordance with ERP systems through online queries of the systems via web services.
•Visualization of the mold status directly on the machine for the respective employee.
•Mobile reading out of the documented mold data via smartphone or RFID handheld, e.g. during an audit or when searching for the "correct" mold.
•More accurate planning by continuously monitoring the actual production cycles with the respective mold, as opposed to continuously updating the default values in an ERP system
