Nisthora for plastics injection and blow moulding.
Every shot is a countable unit and every machine knows its own cycle time, which makes moulding shops ideal for OEE. Nisthora tracks shots, cycle times and rejects per machine and per mould.
What gets in the way.
Cycle time creep
A cycle that runs a little slow loses many parts by the end of the day.
Mould changes
Changeovers are frequent and often longer than planned.
Resin lots
A bad resin lot can cause rejects across several machines.
What Nisthora connects to and measures.
Machines
- Injection moulding machines
- Blow moulding machines
- Mould temperature controllers
- Dryers and hoppers
- Robots and pickers
- Granulators
Readings
- Shot count
- Cycle time
- Run / stop signal
- Rejected parts
- Barrel and mould temperature
- Injection pressure
Typical stop reasons
- Mould change
- Material change or drying
- Robot fault
- Short shots / flash
- Waiting for material
- Heater fault
These are common examples. Each plant names its own machines and lines, and sets up its own stop reasons, in the words its team uses.
Batch, usually
Resin lot drives quality, and food-contact packaging inherits food traceability rules. Nisthora's batch records hold the machine, shift, readings and stops for every run.
A day with Nisthora
A moulding shop sets each machine's ideal cycle time. When a machine's real cycle creeps up, its Performance figure drops on the dashboard the same shift, long before the monthly count would show it.
