ERP for the Plastics Industry

Mould, cycle time and regrind accounted for properly

Plastics processing has three cost drivers no generic ERP models: the mould, the machine hour, and the blend. A part's cost depends on cavitation and cycle time rather than headcount, and on how much regrind went into the shot. This ERP tracks all three, so the quoted rate per thousand pieces reflects the machine and mould actually used.

9-14 weeks

What goes wrong in plastics & polymers

Costing ignores cycle time and cavitation

A part run on a 4-cavity mould at 28 seconds costs nothing like the same part on a 2-cavity mould at 40 seconds, but most systems cost both at the same material-plus-overhead rate.

Regrind is untracked

Virgin and regrind blend ratios change by shift and by operator. Without capture, material cost is wrong and customers with regrind limits in their specification cannot be assured.

Mould maintenance is reactive

Moulds have a shot life. Without shot counting against each tool, maintenance happens after a failure that stops a line mid-order.

Machine-hour rates are guessed

Tonnage, power draw and manning differ per machine, so a flat overhead rate misprices every job that runs on an atypical press.

Built for this sector

Modules that exist because of your industry

On top of the full standard ERP — sales, purchase, stores, accounts and HR are all included.

01

Mould and tool master

Cavitation, shot life, current shot count, ownership (yours or customer-supplied) and maintenance history against each tool.

02

Cycle time costing

Cost per thousand derived from cycle time, cavitation and the machine-hour rate of the press actually used, not a blanket overhead.

03

Virgin and regrind blending

Blend ratio recorded per production run, with limits enforced where a customer specification caps regrind percentage.

04

Machine-hour rate by press

Tonnage-wise rates covering power, manning and depreciation, so a 450-tonne press does not carry the same rate as a 90-tonne.

05

Shot counting and tool maintenance

Automatic shot accumulation per mould with preventive maintenance triggered on shot life rather than calendar dates.

06

Scrap, runner and sprue recovery

Runner and sprue weight recovered back into regrind stock instead of being written off as loss.

What happens if you outgrow a plan

Nothing breaks and nothing is cut off. We flag it when you are consistently near a limit, and you either move up a tier or, past the Business limits, we scope an Enterprise plan against your real usage. We would rather quote you properly than serve you at a loss and then renegotiate — so heavy users are priced honestly from the start.

Compliance for your sector

Job-work challans and ITC-04 for moulding done on customer material
E-way bills including customer-owned mould movement
GST treatment of customer-supplied material versus own-material jobs
Batch traceability where parts feed food-contact or pharmaceutical packaging

We speak your language

Terms the system models natively, not as custom fields.

Cavitation
How many parts one mould produces per shot. Doubling cavitation roughly halves the machine cost per part.
Regrind
Reprocessed scrap blended back into virgin material. Cheaper, but capped by customer specification.
Shot life
The number of cycles a mould is rated for before major maintenance.
Runner and sprue
The solidified feed channels removed from a moulded part — recoverable weight, not scrap.

Who this is for

  • Injection moulding units running mixed tonnage presses
  • Extrusion and blow moulding operations
  • Job moulders working on customer-supplied moulds and material
  • Plastics processors quoting per thousand pieces without machine-level costing

Questions from plastics & polymers buyers

Can it handle customer-owned moulds?

Yes. Tools are flagged by ownership, and customer-owned moulds carry their own movement documentation and maintenance records without appearing in your asset register.

Does it connect to the moulding machines directly?

It can, where your presses expose a counter output — shot counts then accumulate automatically. Where they do not, the operator enters counts at the terminal, which is how most units start.

How do we handle a customer who caps regrind at 15%?

Set the cap on the part master. The blend entry rejects a ratio above it, and the production record retains the actual ratio used so you can evidence compliance if the customer audits.
