1. Precision in Plastic:
Revolutionizing Injection
Molding with Odoo ERP
Injection molding drives mass production with unparalleled precision
and speed, serving critical industries like automotive, packaging,
electronics, and medical devices. Our focus today is on optimizing cycle
times, maximizing material efficiency, and drastically reducing defects.

2. Navigating the Complexities of Injection Molding
Unplanned Downtime
Frequent machine or mold breakdowns lead to
significant production halts.
High Material Wastage
Inefficient resin handling and process errors contribute
to substantial material loss.
Complex Scheduling
Managing multi-cavity molds and multiple machines
creates intricate production planning challenges.
Lack of Real-time Visibility
Absence of immediate data on production status and
quality metrics hinders rapid response.

• Automates work orders, scheduling, and precise machine
allocation.
• Enables real-time monitoring of critical cycle times and
accurate shot counts.
• Synchronizes production meticulously with customer orders
and delivery dates.
• Significantly reduces idle machine hours through intelligent,
predictive planning.

4. Smart Material & Inventory Management
Effective material management is crucial in injection molding to minimize waste and ensure consistent product quality.
Batch & Additive Tracking
Precisely tracks resin batches, color masterbatch, and
essential additives.
FIFO/LIFO Flow
Maintains strict FIFO/LIFO protocols to prevent material
degradation and optimize usage.
Shortage Prevention
Prevents costly shortages with minimum stock alerts
and automated procurement triggers.
Regrind Optimization
Monitors regrind utilization to effectively cut costs
without compromising product quality.

5. Integrated Quality Control for Flawless Output
Real-time quality dashboards
SPC integration
Automated defect recording
In-process inspection
Odoo's integrated quality control ensures every part meets stringent standards, minimizing defects and maximizing customer
satisfaction.

6. Optimizing Mold Lifecycle & Maintenance
Proactive mold management is key to extending tool life
and preventing costly production interruptions.
