Mould Monitoring -
creating individual solutions with the right condition monitoring system
Optimised supply and value chain with active and comprehensive mould monitoring
Digital Moulds offers its innovative condition monitoring system. It is easy to install and enables active and comprehensive control of injection moulding machines. Thanks to real-time data transmission, it is possible to react quickly to parameter deviations.
Mould Monitoring is installed on the injection mould at an early stage using the plug & play principle. This condition monitoring system enables precise recording of the data from the initial idea to the end of production.

Condition monitoring systems - The future with the digitally connected value chain, implemented today
A use case from the automotive industry
Many industrial and technology companies are already working intensively on an end-to-end digitally connected supply and value chain with the aim of meeting the constantly growing challenges of an automotive OEM more effectively.
A holistic approach with a focus on the automotive industry was implemented as a prototype at the beginning of 2022. The German-Austrian companies 4zero (100% subsidiary of the P3 Group), Digital Moulds and Tributech were responsible for implementation. A condition monitoring System is to be applied with a view to avoiding bottlenecks and downtimes throughout the entire supply chain of the OEM.

“With Mould Monitoring we control the status and the parameters regardless of whether the tool is used for in-house production or at a partner company. This provides us with very valuable information.”

Successful tool management with Mould Monitoring
With the Mould Monitoring system, they achieve simple planning along the entire value chain.
Condition monitoring systems help you identify and avoid bottlenecks, downtime or production losses more easily. Rejection rates, shortfalls or quality costs can thus be reduced and the quality of the components maximised.
Mould Monitoring therefore provides more
- planning accuracy
- targeted demand and inventory planning, as well as
- better adherence to delivery times along the entire supply chain.
Critical changes are more easily detected with the help of a condition monitoring system. Provision can therefore be made for downtime. In addition to this tracking function, Digital Moulds also offers other products.
