HASCO Mould Track for precise indoor localisation of injection moulding tools

In an increasingly competition-oriented industry, it is of major importance for companies to optimise their manufacturing processes and reduce bottlenecks.
It generally occurs in an injection moulding company, over the course of time, that the number of injection moulding tools builds up significantly and, after the production of a batch, the moulding tool is put into storage. When it is needed the next time, it is essential to know quickly and exactly where to find it in order to prevent a long search and perhaps production bottlenecks as a result.
The key to the success of Mould Track lies in the highly modern technology. Through the integration of precise ultra-broadband radio modules and an intelligent software platform, Mould Track offers a localisation accuracy of down to a few centimetres. With robust algorithms, the system enables the exact tracking and localisation of injection moulding tools indoors.
The advantages for the injection moulding sector are considerable, providing a significant advantage over the competition:
The system enables the exact tracking of injection moulding tools in real time and the digital interlinking of processes. Bottlenecks can thus be reduced and resources used more efficiently.
The precise tracking of the moulds allows improved production planning. This enables companies to optimise the use of moulding tools and reduce throughput times.
Fast and easy location detection can eliminate superfluous downtimes. Valuable time no longer has to be invested in the search for moulds.
Through the exact tracking and localisation of the moulds, it is ensured that they are used at the right place at the right time.
Mould Track enables fast setting-up of injection moulding machines because the exact position of the moulds is known. This means that companies can respond more flexibly to customer requirements and make optimum use of the production capacities.
