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. We build those three into the ERP core for your plant, so the quoted rate per thousand pieces reflects the machine and mould actually used.

For plastics & polymers
Some are in the ERP today, some are built for you: we confirm which
- Mould and tool master
- Cycle time costing
- Virgin and regrind blending
- Machine-hour rate by press
- Shot counting and tool maintenance
- Scrap, runner and sprue recovery
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.
What plastics & polymers businesses need from an ERP
Some of these are already in the Orus ERP; others are configured or built for your plant. The feature catalogue shows the current status of every feature, and we confirm the rest on a demo call.
Mould and tool master
Cavitation, shot life, current shot count, ownership (yours or customer-supplied) and maintenance history against each tool.
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.
Virgin and regrind blending
Blend ratio recorded per production run, with limits enforced where a customer specification caps regrind percentage.
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.
Shot counting and tool maintenance
Automatic shot accumulation per mould with preventive maintenance triggered on shot life rather than calendar dates.
Scrap, runner and sprue recovery
Runner and sprue weight recovered back into regrind stock instead of being written off as loss.

Rules your setup has to handle
The statutory requirements we plan for when scoping a plastics & polymers build. Ask us which are covered by the core today and which are built for you.
We speak your language
Terms we work with when scoping your build.
- 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, as part of your industry build. 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 be built to, 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.
