Manual production sheets
Operators record counts, scrap, downtime, and notes on paper or spreadsheets.
Injection Molding Analytics
Production analytics platform for injection molding shops.
Molding Analytics turns work orders, operator reports, machine activity, scrap, downtime, and cycle-time history into production insights without replacing your existing process.
Built by a former Amazon software engineer working directly with molding manufacturers.

The Problem
Most shops already have the data. It's just trapped in paperwork.
Disconnected machines
Older presses may not expose useful logs, making full automation difficult at first.
Delayed visibility
Managers often do not see production issues until paperwork reaches the office.
How It Works
Start with the pilot module. Expand analytics as the data grows.
Work order setup
Enter work order, mold, cavities, target cycle time, and parts per cycle.
Operator daily report
Operators enter only what happened during the shift: good parts, scrap, downtime, and notes.
Analytics dashboard
Review progress, scrap, estimated cycle time, and machines running over target.
Pilot Module
What the first platform pilot includes
Work order progress
Track part counts against targets across active work orders.
Scrap summary
Daily and per-order scrap counts with percentage breakdowns.
Downtime notes
Operators log downtime reasons during shift entry.
Estimated actual cycle time
Calculated from reported parts and shift duration.
Machine vs target cycle time
Flag machines running significantly over cycle target.
Operator cycle-time estimates
Compare observed shift performance against target cycle time.
CSV export
Export work order data for analysis in Excel or other tools.
Order velocity alerts
Notify when an order is unlikely to hit its target on time.
Pricing
Platform pricing for practical production analytics.
Start with a free platform pilot focused on dashboard and work-order tracking, move into the hosted analytics platform, and add machine monitoring where the equipment supports it.

View PricingAdditional Support
Analytics and workflow support can be scoped around the plant.
Beyond the pilot module, Molding Analytics can help with deeper production analysis, connected workflows, data tools, and custom insight layers when those needs become important.
Scrap and defect prediction
Cycle-time optimization
Downtime prediction
Machine/mold assignment recommendations
ERP / inventory / quality integration
These areas work best when they are tied to reliable production history from the plant.
