Moldflow Manufacturing Solutions (MMS) 1.0 integrates a series of applications based on Moldflow Plastics Xpert (MPX) and Moldflow Shotscope.
MMS 1.0 is a collaborative manufacturing management (CMM) system for the plastics injection moulding and metal diecasting industries that captures and makes available extensive process and production data for use in real-time business performance management.
Business executives can use the information for strategic planning and technology assessment, as well as to map existing production conditions.
The MMS 1.0 combines a series of product modules.
MMS/Process Setup is an intuitive and systematic method for establishing and documenting the combination of plastics injection moulding process parameters that produce high-quality moulded parts.
MMS/Process Optimization is an automated design of experiments for determining a robust "good parts" plastics injection moulding processing window.
MMS/Process Control is a plastics injection moulding process control system designed to maintain optimum processing conditions.
MMS/Production Scheduler is used for production scheduling of various mould/machine/material combinations.
MMS/Production Manager provides "at-a-glance" information on machine uptime/downtime, part counts, defect tracking and machine efficiencies.
MMS/Operator Station is the "at-the-machine" interface for users to login, enter part defect and machine downtime causes and view job-specific information.
MMS/Statistical Process Control is used to monitor the process and alarm or divert parts should process limits be violated.
MMS/Statistical Quality Control allows SQC data to be recorded and associated with shot-specific process data for correlation with SPC data.
MMS/Process Analyzer is used to display and analyse real-time or historical process profiles.
MMS/Production Reporting is used to communicate critical process and production data in near real-time so informed business decisions can be made.
MMS 1.0 can be installed on virtually any plastics injection moulding machine, and interfaces to more than 30 process controllers from leading plastics machinery manufacturers, including Arburg, Battenfeld, Billion, BMB, Demag Ergotech, Engel, Ferromatik Milacron, Italtech, Krauss-Maffei, Maicopresse, MIR, Netstal, Stork, Van Dorn Demag and UBE.
MMS 1.0 also supports metal diecasting machines from many leading equipment manufacturers, including Buhler, Frech, HPM, IdraPrince, Italpresse, Toshiba and UBE, among others.
MMS 1.0 is available with English and French local language support and runs under the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system.
