Industry
MES for plastics manufacturing
Injection presses, extrusion lines and plastics plants run short cycles, with scrap to monitor and frequent technical stops. A MES platform tracks these signals close to the presses and structures performance machine by machine.
Challenges
Industry challenges
- Monitor injection and extrusion cycles continuously, press by press.
- Measure and standardize scrap reasons to target setting drifts.
- Detect technical stops (purges, material waits, mold changes).
- Link material batch, finished-product batch and machine for a usable history.
- Compare OEE across presses and product families.
Shop floor problems
What slows production execution today
- Scrap counted at end of shift, without link to a press or a setting.
- Common technical stops considered normal and rarely tracked.
- Site-wide OEE that hides gaps between individual presses.
- Material and finished-product batches tracked in two different tools.
- Downtime reasons recorded with inconsistent labels across operators.
What IBRIXIO delivers
How IBRIXIO responds
- Continuous monitoring of injection and extrusion cycles, press by press.
- OEE and scrap rate computed per press and per product family.
- Automatic detection of technical stops with standardized reasons.
- Material batch / finished-product batch / machine link for end-to-end traceability.
- Quality checks tied to batches, presses and production periods.

What you monitor
Use case
On the shop floor
A plant manager spots a scrap rate drift on a specific press. From the platform, the exact production period, material batch and current settings are identified. Maintenance corrects the setting before the drift spreads to the next series.
