Tooling and Mold Maintenance Agent

Service tools before they cause defects and prove that the service worked.

Tooling and Mold Maintenance Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Molds and dies wear slowly, and by the time the defects show, a whole run is bad. This agent tracks cycles, defects and maintenance dates for each tool. It watches for the signs of wear, such as rising flash, dimension drift and cycle count near the limit, and flags tools that are due. It schedules maintenance around customer orders so production does not stop. After maintenance, it compares defect rates with the earlier ones, and reopens the job if they did not improve. The engineer approves each maintenance plan. Edge case: a tool near its limit but with a large order due is moved up in the queue to be serviced first.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It flags a tool when cycles pass a set share of the limit or defects drift, and schedules the service in the gap that costs the least production.

  • Flag at 85 percent of the cycle limit
  • Flag when defects rise 20 percent over the baseline
  • Schedule in the gap with the least lost output
  • Reopen if defects do not fall by half

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Cycle limit share that flags a tool (default 85 percent)
  • Defect rise that flags (default 20 percent)
  • Improvement needed after service
  • Tools covered

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Engineer approves maintenance plans

Hard limits

  • Never schedule maintenance that misses a firm order without approval
  • Never close a job without a defect check

It stops when

  • Done: tool serviced and defects are down
  • Stop: the tool is damaged and the engineer decides on repair or replacement

An example run

What happensMold 7 has run 412,000 of 450,000 cycles and flash defects are up 26 percent. The agent finds a gap on Saturday and plans the service. After maintenance, flash defects fall only from 1.9 to 1.6 percent. That is under the target drop, so the agent reopens the job and the engineer checks the vents.
