An injection automation system streamline the injection molding process to enhance efficiency, precision and cost-effectiveness for material handling, parts removal and quality control, along with automated post-processing steps like trimming, assembly and packageing. As a key injection automation solutions integrator from China, Guang Dong SWITEK Technology is specialized in the automation solutions of IML packaging and pipe fittings injection automation solutions, we're here to discuss the key benefits of injection molding automations with related to IML and pipe fittings injection molding.

• Increased Efficiency and Throughput:

  The in mold insertion is a labour intensive job in pipe fittings injection molding production, it's not only boring but also a laborious work. Just imaging to repeat the action of open the safe door -- pick out the parts -- insert the brass -- close the safe door -- cut the runners hundreds of times daily at the temperature above 35^°C, nobody want to have a job like this of they have any other choice. That's why nearly all the pipe fittings producers around the world are facing the labour shortage with a low productivity due to unpredicatable break such as tea time, washroom visiting etc. But with an automation system the pipe fittings injection molding system is working in an uniform speed and will ensure the max throughput of the pipe fittings injection molding system with quality guarantee.

• Improved Quality and Consistency

  Also take the pipe fittings brass in mold insertion injection molding as an example, with the brass in mold insertion done manually, because of the different working habits, the quality of the pipe fittings may be much different of which produced by different workers; But with an automation system in each shot the brass would be inserted into the same position and the runner would be cutted at the same position either. The automation system will help to improve the quality and consistency of the pipe fittings produced.

• Reduced Labor Costs

  MengNiu, one of the top two dairy producers in China, put in market their best buy Yogurt product ChunZhen in 2013 with the slogan Just Yogurt of which has a S shape bottle represent healthy and fitness attracted the attention of the healty eaters and fitness enthusiasts. Which make the production of the bottle and the bottle caps a huge business. Their supplier of the package will need to supply around 4,800,000 sets of bottles with caps daily at the peak. With the carton loading and packing done manually it'll take around 180 workers to do the job, but after the automation system introdued in 2018, it was reduced to 48 workers with the productivity of the injection molding system increased more than 20%.

• Enhanced Safety

  The introduction of an injection automation solution into the plastic parts production process will reduce the use of human labours so it'll reduce the potential injury like scald, pressure injury etc. It'll help to enhance the safety of the plastic parts production.

• Real-time Data and Process Control

  Data Analysis is very important for continued improvement of the parts quality and increase the productivity of the injection molding system. Since the ideal of the Industrial 4.0 was introduced in 2013, more and more producers of plastic parts introduced the MES system which will have their machineries connected to their data base and have a real-time data and process control of the production process. Will only the injection automation solutions be able to communicate with the production management system via standard protocol.

Above is a brief summary of the Key Benefits of Injection Molding Automation with reference of the automation solutions developed by GuangDong SWITEK Technology Co., Ltd.
