Plastic Moulding Company Ledwell invests in In-Touch
Plastic moulding company Ledwell has been a leader in the plastic injection moulding industry for many years. To maintain our quality and drive our production efficiencies we have recently introduced, In-Touch, a new IT production system that has taken our production efficiency to the next level.
These new systems allow us to monitor all our machines in real-time, which gives us a better understanding of how operations are running. By monitoring our machines in this way, we can identify areas where improvements can be made. This has ultimately led to greater efficiency and increased productivity.
In today’s dynamic business environment, the ability to monitor and optimise production processes in real-time is crucial for manufacturers. With the increasing demand for higher-quality products and shorter lead times, companies need to adopt effective monitoring solutions that can help them identify potential problems early on and reduce downtime.
Intouch Monitoring is a cutting-edge software tool that provides real-time production monitoring for engineers, product designers, and engineering designers. Since investing in this powerful tool Ledwell has realised greater efficiency and improved product quality.
Improved Efficiency:
Intouch Monitoring provides us with real-time data on production processes, which helps us identify where the bottlenecks are and where improvements could be made. By having access to this information in real-time, Ledwell’s team can make adjustments as needed, and streamline production. This reduces the amount of waste produced, minimising downtime and increasing overall production efficiency.
Enhanced Collaboration:
Intouch Monitoring helps us identify issues quickly, leading to faster solutions and reduced downtime. By pooling resources and knowledge, our teams can work together more effectively and make better decisions that improve product quality and overall production efficiency.
Job Planning
The use of Intouch’s unique built-in planning software allows for greater flexibility and adaptability. Machine setters have full access to the current plan in real-time rather than having to wait for a message and revised documentation.
Real-time quality data
Having access to real-time scrap data is essential for consistent product delivery, to our customers. This enables us to understand any potential issues with moulding or tooling and rectify them early on before they become costly and detrimental to the delivery schedule. Our operators log the scrap as it happens, so we have the data immediately at our fingertips.
