The Challenge: High Waste & Hidden Stoppages

Micro-Stoppages
Injection molding machines frequently stopped for 1–3 minutes. Small gaps ignored in paper logs accumulated into hours of lost capacity daily.
Material Inefficiency
Inconsistent cycle times led to higher reject rates and significant raw material (resin) waste that went undetected until end-of-month reporting.
Lack of Traceability
Difficulty providing precise batch quality data required by MNC clients in the electronics and F&B sectors — risking contract loss.
