Built for the moulds, the shots, and the cycle times.
From injection moulding job shops to captive moulders for auto, white goods, and electronics — FactorialOS gives you live cycle-time and shot-count tracking, mould lifecycle, scrap and regrind control, and IATF-grade traceability.
Where moulding shops actually lose money
Long setups, mould downtime, scrap that nobody can pin down, regrind ratios that drift — and customers from auto and electronics asking for IATF-grade traceability on parts that cost a few rupees each.
Setups eat the day
Mould change, hot runner setup, material purge, first-off inspection — an hour here, ninety minutes there, and the machine’s billable hours quietly disappear.
Mould history is in someone’s head
When was the last PM? How many shots since refurb? Which cavity is blocked? Most shops know — but only if you ask the right person on the right day.
Material lots, virgin vs regrind
Customer specs the regrind percentage. The shop runs higher to save material cost. Without tracking the actual ratio per shot, quality issues become impossible to root-cause.
Cycle time slowly drifts
The mould was qualified at 28 seconds. Six months later it’s running at 34. Nobody noticed; no one tracked it. A few seconds of cycle time times millions of shots equals serious money.
IATF customers, fine-margin parts
Auto and white-goods customers ask for IATF-grade traceability on parts that earn you ₹3-5 each. Without an automated trail the compliance cost destroys the margin.
Dozens of moulds, dozens of customers
High-mix, multi-customer reality. Wrong mould on wrong machine, wrong material lot for wrong customer — mistakes happen when scheduling lives in someone’s notebook.
How FactorialOS handles it
Built for shot-by-shot reality — cycle, mould, material, operator. The records auto compile into the customer-grade traceability auto and white-goods buyers want.
Live cycle time & shot count
Every shot, every cycle, every machine — tracked in real time. Cycle drift surfaces in hours, not months.
Full mould lifecycle
Where the mould is, last run, shots done, shots-to-PM, refurb history, customer associations. One screen, no notebooks.
Material lot & regrind ratio
Granule lot, masterbatch lot, regrind percentage — captured per shot, per part. When a defect surfaces, the material trail is right there.
Setup & changeover tracking
The hour you spend changing a mould is no longer invisible. See setup time per machine, per mould, per operator — and shrink it.
First-off & in-process inspection
Capture first-off and last-off measurements, in-process checks, and reject reasons at the machine. No more paper bins behind the press.
IATF traceability without the paperwork tax
Every part you ship has its full record — mould, machine, material lot, cycle, operator, inspection. Customer audit dossiers compile themselves.
Where it fits in your plant
Single-machine job shops, captive moulders, blow moulders, rubber component manufacturers, technical and medical-grade plastics.
Injection moulding job shops
Multiple customers, dozens of moulds, frequent changeovers. Maximise machine utilisation, sequence jobs intelligently, and quote new work with real cycle and material data.
- Per-mould cycle and shot-count tracking
- Setup, changeover, and material-purge time visibility
- Real cost-per-shot for accurate quoting
Captive moulders for auto & white goods
Plastic components for auto, two-wheeler, white goods, and electronics. IATF-grade traceability, customer quality plans, and PPAP-ready records on every part you ship.
- IATF traceability per part to mould, machine, lot
- Customer-specific PPAP and quality plan execution
- OEM-aligned packaging and labelling enforcement
Blow moulding & rotational moulding
Containers, bottles, tanks, automotive ducts. Cycle time, weight checks, leak test, and material lot recorded per unit produced.
- Cycle and weight capture per shot
- Leak and burst test result tracking
- Tool history and PM scheduling
Rubber components & technical plastics
Auto rubber parts, gaskets, seals, hoses, and technical plastics for medical and electrical applications. Compound batch, cure time, post-cure, and dimension capture.
- Compound batch and cure parameter tracking
- Post-cure and ageing record capture
- Dimension and hardness test result logging
What changes after FactorialOS
The numbers moulding shop owners care about — visible in the first few months of running on FactorialOS.
Setup time falls
Tracked changeovers become benchmarked changeovers. Best-in-class times become the norm, not the exception.
More billable shots per machine
Less idle time, less cycle drift, less waiting on material or tooling. Same machines, more output.
Mould downtime drops
Planned PMs replace surprise breakdowns. Refurb decisions are driven by data, not by a sudden failure mid-shift.
Scrap and regrind under control
Per-shot, per-mould scrap data turns rejection patterns into fixable issues. Material cost goes from invisible to actionable.
IATF audits stop being painful
Customer audits, OEM visits, IATF surveillance — pull the records, walk through. No two-week prep, no shadow files.
Win bigger OEM and Tier-1 work
Demonstrated traceability and process discipline open the door to higher-volume, higher-margin auto and white-goods business.
Ship more shots, less scrap, audit-ready every day
