RJG’s injection mold networking software, The Hub, now has a new application available: The Hub for Mold Transfer.
The Hub connects RJG’s CoPilot process monitoring systems to a single interface, enabling users to access all plant information globally, make data-driven decisions, increase visibility, decrease liability and improve operational efficiency. Alternately, RJG says the Hub for Process Analytics enables users to access real-time data from anywhere, review and export reports, view job audit reports, replay historical data and more.
Moreover, the Hub for Mold Transfer is said to permit an easy transfer of molds by automatically generating machine-specific setup sheets, recommending compatible machines and providing a database to store and share part, mold and machine documentation across the organization. According to the company, this application significantly reduces the risk of damage and poor quality by ensuring proper mold and machine matching.
The Hub for Mold Transfer also features:
- Facility asset database for machines, molds, parts and materials
- Mold match recommendations for fit and capability
- Universal process sheet database
- Machine-specific setup sheet database
- Automatically generated, machine-specific setup sheets
- Revision history.
