Run Your Molding Floor on One Connected System
Injection and blow-molding lines run on mold schedules, cycle times and shot counts, not on paperwork at the end of a shift. TCB Infotech builds the tracking, changeover alerts and resin and scrap records your floor actually needs, and connects that data to your existing ERP.
50+ ERP and software projects. Zero failed projects since 2021.
Cycle time and changeover, tracked as they happen
Most plastic and packaging plants already know their mold count and target cycle times. What is usually missing is a system that tracks both against real shot counts, shift by shift, instead of at month end.
Every mold tracked by cycle time, shots and condition
A manufacturer running a dozen molds across several machines needs to know which mold is running, which is due for a changeover, and which has drifted on cycle time, without waiting for an end-of-shift report to find out.
- Cycle time and shot counts logged per mold, per shift.
- Changeover and maintenance flagged before they cause downtime.
- Resin consumption tracked against planned usage.
Production data connected to your existing ERP
Mold schedules and job costing usually live in one place while the ERP handles orders and inventory. We connect the two, and add the custom tracking and AI alerts a generic ERP module was never built to handle for a molding floor.
- Mold and shot data feeds your existing ERP.
- Job costing built from actual resin and scrap figures.
- AI flags changeover and maintenance risk early.
From your current mold log to a running system
Built around how a molding and packaging floor actually runs
Mold & Tooling Schedule Tracking
Which mold is on which machine, its maintenance history and when it is next due for a changeover.
Cycle Time & Shot Count Monitoring
Actual cycle time and shot counts logged per mold and shift, compared against target.
Machine Changeover & Maintenance Planning
Alerts before a machine or mold is due for changeover or maintenance, not after a breakdown.
Material & Resin Consumption Tracking
Resin usage tracked against planned consumption per job, batch or mold.
Rejection & Scrap Tracking
Rejects and scrap logged against the mold, machine and shift that produced them.
Packaging Job Costing
Job costs built from actual resin, machine time and scrap figures, not standard estimates.

How We Track a Molding Floor
From mold schedules to job costing. Here is what we build for an injection or blow-molding plant, and how it connects to your existing ERP.
Mapping, scoping and building around your molds
Mold, machine and schedule mapping before anything is built
We start by walking your floor and recording how molds are currently scheduled, how changeovers are decided, and where cycle time and scrap are already being tracked, on paper or otherwise.
- Every mold, machine and tool cataloged.
- Current changeover and maintenance process reviewed.
- Existing tracking gaps identified before scoping.
Cycle time, shot counts and resin use, logged per mold
Machine data or manual shift entries feed a live record of cycle time, shot counts and resin consumption per mold, so a drift from target cycle time is visible the same shift, not at month end.
- Cycle time compared against target per mold.
- Resin consumption tracked against planned usage.
- Shot counts logged automatically where machine data allows.
Scrap and job costs tied to the mold that produced them
Rejects and scrap are logged against the mold, machine and shift, and job costing is built from those actual figures instead of a standard cost estimate that ignores real rejection rates.
- Scrap and rejects traced to mold, machine and shift.
- Job costs built from real resin, time and scrap data.
- Figures feed your existing ERP for reporting.
