Smart Monitoring System
Injection Management
at a Glance
CSI 4.0 is a solution that helps quickly
respond to the 4th Industrial Revolution
and digital transformation.
It is composed of stages including data collection, data
decryption, and an advanced
stage applying big data
processing technology
and artificial intelligence.
Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
Provides remote control/monitoring functions
for
injection machines,
offering real-time
monitoring solutions for factory
management
indicators for top executives and
production
management indicators for practitioners.
Small Scale MES Solution (Easy Net)
Provides the remote injection machine
interface,
allowing to check equipment status,
production
plan-actuals, and causes of defects.
Smart Data Interface
