Simulation Support Application Improves Tool Launch Effectiveness
RJG has made a Simulation Support application available on The Hub for concept-to-process tool launch without cutting steel, removing rework or time spent establishing and testing processes.
RJG’s injection molding networking software, The Hub, has made a new Simulation Support application available. Simulation Support offers the tools needed to launch a tool more effectively, saving time, money and hassle, according to the company.
The Hub connects CoPilot process control systems to a single interface, enabling users to access all plant information from anywhere in the world, make data-driven decision and improve operational efficiency.
There are now three applications available:
The Hub for Simulation Support (NEW) allows users to import simulation files into The Hub database and automatically generate a universal process sheet that they can convert to a machine-specific setup sheet for any capable machine. RJG says that means significant time savings during a tool launch—users can go from concept to process without cutting steel, removing rework or time spent establishing and testing processes.
The Hub for Process Analytics enables users to access real-time data from anywhere, build and export reports, view job audit reports, replay historical data and more for increased visibility and decreased liability. Higher efficiency and lower scrap means a higher bottom line, RJG notes.
Finally, the Hub for Mold Transfer allows users to easily transfer molds by automatically generating machine-specific setup sheets, recommending compatible machines and providing a database to store and share documents across the organization. This application reportedly prevents damage from occurring through, ensuring proper mold and machine matching.
