More transparency in production planning
23.04.2018 | Petra Rehmet

The new MaXecution is a manufacturing execution system (MES) specifically tailored to the demands of small and medium-sized injection molding companies. The new MaXecution, which KraussMaffei is presenting for the first time to their customers in China at Chinaplas, creates more transparency in production using productivity indicators concerning, for instance, overall equipment effectiveness, mold management and resources and statistics on machines and rejects.

The new MaXecution from KraussMaffei is based on the well-known HYDRA MES from MPDV Mikrolab GmbH (MPDV), the MES provider from Mosbach, Germany. It is offered in three stages of expansion. In this way, the customer can decide how many MES functionalities are needed based on the customer's individual requirements. If the customer requires additional functions beyond these services, the option is available to switch to the HYDRA by MPDV at any time. "With the new MaXecution and in collaboration with our partner MPDV, we support our customers in the long term on the path to digital, paperless production and offer them customized solutions for better utilization of their machine pool as well as for increasing their overall equipment effectiveness", explains Jörg Wittgrebe, Vice President of Sales, Injection Molding Machine Department at KraussMaffei China.

At the KraussMaffei trade show booth at Chinaplas, visitors can witness live how the manufacturing data for the injection molding process is recorded and evaluated. In addition, KraussMaffei will provide information on useful MES functions in plastics processing in several brief presentations each day.
