Smart Process Monitoring for Injection Molding

iQ process observer enables fast identification of fluctuations by intelligently analyzing and processing hundreds of parameters. As a result, downtime can be effectively reduced. This smart software solution also has intelligent drift detection to proactively indicate process changes. Reject rates can be greatly reduced.

The uniform and clear display of information and the intuitive guidance to the cause of process changes on the CC300 machine control saves valuable time when interpreting big data. In addition, configuration is reduced, which allows for quick activation of all monitoring functions.

By continuously comparing the determined values with the previous cycles, the software automatically detects significant changes in the process and points them out to the operator. In addition, the process data analysis compares all target and actual values with a defined reference status to detect long-term changes. Finally, the system shows possible process improvements or unfavorable process settings and conditions. Often, the possible causes are determined automatically, as are possible solutions.

The challenges of the future are becoming more complex and digitalization is playing a key role in production. We accompany you on the way to networked and self-optimizing injection molding production. With the modular ENGEL inject 4.0 solution, we make it easy to use the advanced digitalization and the new opportunities it brings.
