Know Your Presses Are Running Right
Before Scrap Happens.

Barrel temperature, cavity pressure, and cycle time monitoring catches process drift before quality suffers. Data flowing in 7 days.

One prevented scrap run ($5,000+) pays for months of monitoring.

Molding Shop Problems We Solve

Every molder knows these costs. Flowstate turns process surprises into planned adjustments.

Barrel Temperature Drift

$5,000-$20,000

Undetected temperature variation causes scrap runs, color changes, and weak parts.

Real-time barrel zone monitoring with deviation alerts.

Cycle Time Creep

10-20% Hidden Loss

Cycle times slowly increase as molds wear, but nobody notices until throughput drops.

Automated cycle time tracking with trend analysis.

Cavity Pressure Blind Spots

$3,000-$10,000

Short shots and flash go undetected until quality finds them downstream.

Pressure monitoring catches process drift in real time.

No Machine Utilization Data

5-15% Hidden Loss

Can't quote accurately without knowing actual press utilization and availability.

Real utilization data from every press, every shift.

How It Works

Step 1

We Install

Edge gateway connects to your press controllers via Ethernet or Modbus. Wireless sensors add temperature and pressure monitoring where needed.

Step 2

Data Flows

Barrel temperatures, cavity pressures, cycle times, and machine state stream to your dashboards within 7 days.

Step 3

Drift Caught Early

SPC charts flag process drift. SMS alerts before scrap runs. Weekly automated process reports.

All-Inclusive Press Monitoring

Hardware + installation + platform + support. One per-machine price.

90-Day ROI Guarantee

The Molding Visibility Package

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

The Math Is Simple

One Scrap Run

$5,000-$20,000

Material + machine time + rework

Prevent one scrap run and Flowstate pays for itself. Process monitoring typically shows ROI within 90 days.
