Digitalization of mold manufacturing involves leveraging information technology to manage the entire mold-making process, digitizing all associated data—including documentation—and enabling big-data analytics.

As the digital map of mold manufacturing reveals, throughout the entire mold-making process—from order receipt and project initiation to design and ultimately mass production of the finished product—what remains consistent from start to finish? It is documentation.

From digital files to physical entities. First, during the order phase, product data—such as technical specifications and engineering drawings—are submitted by the customer. At this stage, these parameters must be imported into the system in a structured format, enabling direct access and utilization during the project initiation and R&D design phases.

Similarly, the information and documentation generated during the R&D and design phase—such as mold part files, file attributes, and assembly structures—can be utilized in subsequent process engineering, while the information and documentation produced by the process engineering stage will be used in the following… CAM — for processing and manufacturing use; all drawings, parameters, and attributes are automatically routed through the database under the same project number, the same mold number, and the same machining work order, eliminating the need for employees to sift through vast stacks of paper documents or countless folders in cloud storage to locate the corresponding drawings and programs. This is the core concept embodied in the digital map of this mold’s manufacturing process.

The solution is based on the Industrial Internet and focuses on molds. MES Taking as the core, adopt “ Devices – IoT – Data – Cloud ” Its architecture breaks through key technologies such as system interconnection, global collaboration, data application, and flexible manufacturing, thereby establishing a mold… MES Smart manufacturing supports end-to-end, all-factor management of the entire mold-making process and the full lifecycle of molds.

This plan includes 24 a user function module and 6 This backend service module is a critical component of the digital manufacturing solution for the mold production center, enabling end-to-end data interoperability and business collaboration across all processes and elements—from requirements gathering to mold dispatch from the warehouse.

Fully Automated Flexible Manufacturing System Solution

The flexible robotic production line system is a core component of the solution, offering a comprehensive, fully automated robotic production line for the mold industry that integrates CNC milling, electrical discharge machining, automated warehousing, and automated guided vehicles ( AGV ) such as unattended, fully automated operation.

At the same time, this manufacturing system is capable of automatically machining all products within a specified size range, thereby meeting the requirements of multi-variety, small- to medium-volume production.
