The mould has a history of its own.

A mould outlives the press it was running on last year, and it wears on cycles, not on dates. Solmex gives it its own record, its own service plan and its own cost line, and links it to whichever machine it is mounted on today.

Plastics and packaging

Tooling is an asset, not an accessory.

Because a mould carries its own record, moving it between presses does not lose its cycle count, its refurbishment history or the cost it has absorbed. When somebody asks which tool is worth rebuilding, the answer is on the tool.

What it carries here03 STATIONS
CYCLES

Counted, not estimated

A tool's meter is read and entered like any other, and a reading that contradicts the record is refused when it is typed. The wear figure is therefore the one the plan is allowed to trust.

Meters per asset2
MOUNTING

Mounted today, moved tomorrow

A tool links to its host press for as long as it is on it, and the link is history when it comes off. Nothing about the tool is stored on the machine, so nothing is lost when it moves.

Active hosts at once1
COST

Cost of ownership per tool

Parts, labour and repairs post against the tool that consumed them, so the rebuild-or-replace conversation happens against a number rather than an opinion.

The tool keeps its own book.

Bring your tool list with its cycle counts. Loading it is usually the fastest way to see which tools are quietly expensive.
