Plastic Manufacturing Software
Finite capacity scheduling for plastics: injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, and thermoforming. Mold-press matching, material change sequencing, and PM-aware scheduling — built for high-throughput plastics production.
Plastic Manufacturing Scheduling Challenges
Plastics production combines high-velocity press operations with hard physical constraints — mold-press matching, material changes, color purging, and PM cycles. Most ERP scheduling modules ignore these constraints entirely, leading to schedules the production floor cannot actually run.
- Mold-press matching constraints (size, tonnage, shot)
- Material change setup time and color-purge sequencing
- Multi-cavity and family molds with shared capacity
- Mold PM cycles and shot-count-based maintenance
- Scrap rates and OEE that vary by mold and material
- Customer pull schedules with daily expedites
How RMDB Serves Plastic Manufacturers
RMDB models the constraints plastic manufacturers actually live with — mold-press matching, sequence-dependent material changes, PM cycles, and multi-cavity capacity — in a single Gantt-driven schedule that the floor can run.
- Mold-press matching with size and tonnage constraints
- Sequence-dependent material and color change setup time
- Multi-cavity and family mold scheduling
- PM cycles tracked by shot count and mileage
- Multi-process scheduling (injection, blow, extrusion, thermoforming)
- Integrates with IQMS/DELMIAworks, Plex, Mattec, and others
- Drag-and-drop Gantt for instant rescheduling
- One-time license — no per-user monthly subscription fees
