Lack of predictability in production, manual data entry subject to error, difficulty in calculating reliable OEE, and areas that do not communicate with each other: these are problems known to a large part of the plastics processing industries. Projedata brings to Interplast a portfolio of solutions developed specifically to face these challenges, integrating management, planning, and industrial automation into a single platform.
With more than 20 years of exclusive experience in the plastics sector, the company has built an ecosystem consisting of four systems that connect natively: the Iniflex ERP (industrial and administrative management), Autoflex (MES for shop floor monitoring), Iniflex.APS (advanced production planning), and Iniflex.BI (data intelligence for managerial decision-making). Each of them operates in a specific layer of the operation, and the integration between them eliminates re-entry work, data inconsistency, and delays in information.
HOW EACH SOLUTION SOLVES SPECIFIC INDUSTRIAL OPERATION PROBLEMS
The Iniflex PRO ERP was developed from direct experience in injection, blow molding, extrusion, thermoforming, and recycling industries. This means that its modules for production planning and control (PCP), purchasing, sales, supplies, quality, and production already include specific features such as mold and cavity control, batch traceability, product data sheets, and setup management. In practice, the industry reduces the need for adaptations and customizations, operates with more standardized processes, and gains reliability in the data that feeds planning and decision-making.
Autoflex directly connects machines to the management system. Instead of relying on manual entries in spreadsheets or paper forms, the solution automatically captures production cycles, downtime, losses, and equipment efficiency. The result is an OEE calculation based on real data, not estimates. For the industrial manager, this translates into immediate visibility of factory performance, rapid identification of bottlenecks, and greater agility in correcting deviations before they compromise deadlines.
Industries with a wide variety of products, intensive use of shared molds, and tight delivery deadlines face difficulties in sequencing production efficiently. Iniflex.APS solves this problem by working with finite capacity, that is, it considers the real availability of machines, molds, and operators to assemble the production plan. The tool allows simulating scenarios before confirming the sequencing, reducing unnecessary setup changes, and identifying in advance which orders are at risk of delay. The direct consequence is greater adherence to deadlines and better use of available resources.
Iniflex.BI consolidates information from the ERP and MES into dashboards focused on profitability analysis by product, performance by machine, loss rates, and productivity indicators. Native integration with other systems ensures that the displayed numbers reflect the reality of the operation, without the need for manual reconciliation. For directors and industrial managers, this means access to reliable information for investment decisions, pricing, and continuous improvement.
Micro and small plastic industries face a specific reality: lean structures, accumulation of functions, poorly standardized processes, and a strong dependence on spreadsheet controls. Recognizing this reality, Projedata developed Iniflex SMART, an industrial management solution designed specifically for this type of operation.
Iniflex SMART delivers essential industrial management resources in a simpler and more objective interface, with rapid implementation and a reduced learning curve. The goal is to allow smaller companies to move away from manual control and start operating with structured processes, without the complexity of systems designed for large-scale operations. It is a solution designed for those who need to organize their operation before scaling, focusing on practicality and adherence to the day-to-day operations of the factory floor.
SPECIALIZATION THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN IMPLEMENTATION AND DAILY USE
All of Projedata’s solutions were built from knowledge accumulated over more than two decades exclusively serving the plastics processing industry. This means that screens, flows, reports, and parameter settings already reflect how these industries operate: cavity control, raw material traceability, scrap management, cycle calculation, and mold setup control.
Unlike generalist systems that require extensive customization, Projedata’s solutions deliver adherence from the first day of use. The presence at Interplast reinforces the company’s positioning as a technological partner for industries seeking to evolve their management with solutions that understand their particularities, whether they are injection, blow molding, extrusion, thermoforming, recycling, or packaging operations.
