Industry Solution
Qera ERP for Plastics
Manage plastics production on a single platform, from injection-extrusion recipes and mold management to raw-material-additive blending and regrind/recycling. With Qera ERP, build efficient, traceable production.
Sector challenges
Common problems in the Plastics sector
Typical bottlenecks that slow down day-to-day operations in this sector.
- When the recipe (raw material, masterbatch, additive ratios) and scrap aren't calculated clearly, the true product cost is unknown.
- When mold usage, life and maintenance aren't tracked, unplanned downtime and quality issues arise.
- When regrind/recycled material isn't tracked, the material balance and cost don't add up.
- When planning ignores machine and mold capacity, bottlenecks occur.
- When cycle time and shift efficiency aren't visible in real time, efficiency losses stay hidden.
The Qera approach
How Qera solves it
Solutions set up for the sector's needs, with modules that work together.
Standardize raw-material, masterbatch and additive ratios with recipe definitions and calculate true cost including scrap.
Track mold cards, usage counters and periodic maintenance plans with Field Service.
Manage regrind material usage and material balance with disassembly and recycling records.
Schedule against machine and mold capacity with Production Planning to reduce bottlenecks.
Capture cycle time, shift efficiency and scrap live from the shop floor with work-order and station tracking.
Calculate raw-material needs from orders and production plans with MRP, triggering procurement.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Raw material, masterbatch and additive ratios are defined as recipes; true product cost is calculated including scrap, and blend consistency is kept under control.
With the Field Service module, mold cards, usage/shot counters and periodic maintenance plans are tracked; mold-related unplanned downtime and quality issues are reduced.
With disassembly and recycling records, regrind material production and usage are tracked; the material balance and cost impact are followed clearly.
