Where plastics and packaging plants lose time and margin

Resin runs out in the middle of a run

Today Extruders stop when resin runs out, leaving machines idle and delivery commitments late.

With MG Factory Material availability shows what resin and ink each order still needs, and the missing items are bought from the same screen.

Unplanned machine bottlenecks

Today Jobs are scheduled on paper: a high-speed line is overbooked while another machine sits idle.

With MG Factory Capacity planning shows the load on every work centre, letting you move runs before bottlenecks form.

Scrap and regrind disappear from costs

Today Edge trim and purge waste are bagged uncounted, so job tickets never reflect true material yields.

With MG Factory Tablets log scrap and regrind per run, rolling actual waste and recycled polymer into batch cost.

Untraceable reels and defective lots

Today When a client reports defects, tracing which film roll or resin lot caused the issue takes days.

With MG Factory Lot tracking follows raw polymer and slit reels from receipt through production to delivered cartons.
