Plastic moulding machines and hoppers on a factory floor

Plastic Manufacturing ERP

Kreon's plastic manufacturing ERP software is built for injection, blow and extrusion units, whether you make your own range or mould on job work. It thinks the way your shop floor does: machine, mould, cavity, shift. Runners and rejects come back as regrind, so the granules you issued and the pieces you packed finally tally.

Manufacturing ERP

What makes it different

Built for the way your trade works.

Plans and records production the way a moulding shop runs: by machine, mould, cavity and shift, with regrind accounted for rather than lost. Suits injection, blow and extrusion units making their own range or moulding on job work.

01

Machine-wise and mould-wise production entry per shift with cycle time

02

Recipe of granules, masterbatch and regrind for each item and colour

03

Runner, lump and rejection tracked and returned to stock as regrind

  • Mould register with cavities, shot count and maintenance due alerts
  • Expected versus actual output by weight and by pieces
  • Machine loading plan by tonnage, mould fit and colour changeover
  • Carton and bag labels with barcode, item, colour and packed quantity
  • Job work for printing, assembly and moulding done on customer material
  • Item costing from material, power, labour and machine hour rate
  • Dealer orders, schemes and dispatch planning by route
How the work flows

A day's work, in order.

Step 01

Take the order

Dealer or customer orders are booked and checked against finished stock and pending production.

Step 02

Load the machines

The planner assigns moulds to machines by tonnage, grouping colours to save changeover time.

Step 03

Issue material

Stores issues granules, masterbatch and regrind as per the recipe for the planned quantity.

Step 04

Record each shift

Supervisors enter shots, good pieces, rejects and stoppages for every machine and mould.

Step 05

Weigh the regrind

Runners and lumps are weighed, ground and taken back into stock as regrind.

Step 06

Pack and dispatch

Cartons are labelled, scanned onto the vehicle and billed with the e-way bill.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How does it handle regrind?

Runners, lumps and rejected pieces are weighed and taken into a separate regrind stock, by grade and colour. The recipe says how much regrind may be mixed with virgin material. Your material account then shows virgin used, regrind used and actual loss.

Can it handle a mould running with some cavities blocked?

Yes. Each mould carries its cavity count, and you can mark blocked cavities for a run. Output is then calculated on working cavities, so expected production and cycle time comparisons stay fair.

We mould on the customer's material. Can it keep that stock separate?

Yes. Customer-supplied granules and moulds are held as the customer's stock, not yours. Material received, consumed, returned as pieces and lying as balance shows party-wise, and you bill only the job charges.

Will it tell me which machine is making money?

It shows output, rejection, downtime and power for each machine and shift, and costs each item with a machine hour rate. You can see which items and machines earn their keep and which jobs are priced too low.

Does Plastic Manufacturing ERP work on mobile?

Yes. It runs on Web and Android, so people on the floor, in the field or on the road work on the phone while the office works on the full screens.

Can Plastic Manufacturing ERP be changed to fit how my business works?

Yes. Kreon builds and supports it, so screens, reports, approvals and rules are shaped to your process. Tell us what is different about the way you work and we will show you how it fits before anything is built.
