Design and Implementation of Productivity Monitoring System in Rubber Injection Molding Machine in Real Time Based on Visual Studio and Android Application

The molding machine is used to rubber material cooking process. The one type of molding machine is an injection molding machine. The productivity monitoring process of injection molding machines can be said to still use conventional methods. This is caused by data collection using paper and takes 2 days to be displayed to the computer database. In order to solve this problem, we conduct research by designing real time productivity monitoring system applications on injection molding machines. The monitoring system designed in the form of desktop and mobile applications. Desktop application is used to manage production plans, monitor production and know the results of production data. This test has two stages, the first is to ensure that the counter point in Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) has the same value as desktop and mobile applications and other stages ensure the application can display productivity confarmance indicators. Test conducted show that monitoring systems with dekstop and mobile applications can provide productivity information on injection molding machines in real time, provide indicators of productivity conformance with predefined standards and reduce paper usage.
