MES Software for Injection Moulding
MES software designed specifically for injection moulding and moulding companies
Move from managing by instinct to monitoring the production process as it happens, rather than when it’s already too late.
With IbernovaMES, you can:
- Detect process deviations in real time
- Take action during the shift, not at the end
- Reduce scrap, rework and micro-stops
- Protect the margin in every production cycle
INCREASE IN OEE
REDUCTION IN SCRAP AND WASTE
INCREASE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE PLAN AND AGREED DEADLINES
LESS TOOL CHANGE-OVER TIME PER SHIFT
REDUCTION IN UNIT COSTS
If the process isn’t brought under control in time, the cost has already been incurred
In injection moulding plants and moulds, problems don’t just crop up out of the blue:
- There is no visibility of the process during the shift
- The information arrives too late, when it is already too late to react
- Deviations in parameters are not detected in good time
- The ERP system does not show what is happening on the shop floor
- Micro-stops, purges and reprocessing are becoming standard practice
- The operation depends on the expertise of key individuals
- Excel and manual reports produce different versions of reality
By the time the fault becomes apparent, the material, time and energy have already been wasted.
The solution: IbernovaMES
REAL-TIME PROCESS CONTROL
View cycles, stoppages, micro-stoppages, scrap and OEE whilst the machine is in operation, not at the end of the shift.
EARLY DETECTION OF DEVIATIONS
The system detects when the process begins to deviate from the specified range so that it can be corrected before scrap or rework occurs.
QUALITY BUILT INTO THE WORKMANSHIP
Quality is no longer an afterthought; it is now an integral part of daily monitoring, linked to the machine, mould and batch.
FACTS, NOT INTERPRETATIONS
Automatic capture of machine signals and reliable data shared across production, quality, maintenance and management.
HOW TO TRANSFORM DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS AT YOUR INJECTION MOULDING PLANT
With IbernovaMES, you can move from putting out fires to managing the production process, its cycles and stability in real time.
Coordinates production and pace adjustments with sound judgement
It adjusts machines, moulds and priorities according to the actual status of the process, anticipating cycle time deviations, instability or bottlenecks, and avoiding scrap, rework and unnecessary downtime.
Records scrap, consumption and quality during the process
Capture real-time data on materials, scrap, quality control and production as it happens, establishing full traceability by batch, mould and machine, without any administrative work required afterwards.
Always run with the correct parameters and versions
It ensures that production operates in accordance with current process parameters, conditions and technical specifications, thereby preventing errors caused by uncontrolled adjustments or outdated information.
View the status of each machine in real time
Get instant insights into actual cycle times, downtime, micro-downtime, and scrap rates by machine and mould, without relying on manual reports or waiting for the end of the shift.

Modules specifically designed for injection moulding and moulding companies
Each module of our MES is specifically designed for your industrial processes and solutions.
Integration with your ERP
MES–ERP integration links planning, production, quality and consumption, eliminating the need for Excel spreadsheets, duplicate records and decisions based on incomplete data. The plant ceases to be a black box and instead provides the business with real-time process data.
Order management and sequencing
This module enables orders and sequences to be aligned with the actual capacity of the machines, adjusting the plan in line with what is happening on the shop floor.
Production control
In injection moulding plants, Production Control allows you to view in real time what is happening on each machine and in each process: actual output, cycle times, downtime, micro-downtime, scrap and process deviations – all while you still have time to take action.
Machine signals
In injection moulding, performance, quality and cost cannot be left to manual processes. Machine signal capture connects directly to injection moulding machines to provide real, automatic and reliable data in real time, without the need for subsequent adjustments.
Traceability
In injection moulding, traceability is established during production, not when an audit, a complaint or a quality issue arises. Each batch is automatically linked to the specific process that produced it.
Quality Control
In injection moulding, quality is monitored using checklists during production, enabling deviations to be identified and corrected by machine, mould and batch before they result in scrap or rework.
Document viewer
The Document Viewer ensures that production and quality teams always work with the correct, up-to-date version of process parameters, work instructions, mould changes and quality control procedures. Changes are delivered to the plant immediately, in a controlled and traceable manner, without paper or confusion.
Analytics and operational reporting
In injection moulding, analytics enable the real-time status of the process to be viewed by machine, mould and batch, providing reliable data that allows action to be taken during the shift, rather than after the event.
Data validation
This module ensures that production, quality and cost data accurately reflect what has actually happened on the shop floor before it affects planning, reporting or business decisions.
EXPERTS IN YOUR INDUSTRY
Why choose specialised MES software?
Every industry has its own specific needs, regulations and challenges that affect planning, production and quality.
A specialised MES adapts to these specific requirements, optimising critical processes, ensuring regulatory compliance and providing reliable data for making quick and accurate decisions, outperforming general-purpose systems that attempt to cover everything without taking into account the reality of each individual company.
General-purpose MES system
- It attempts to cover multiple sectors without making any major changes
- Requires additional configuration to comply with regulations
- Standard planning, less closely aligned with actual operations
- Basic data capture, without customised details
- Generic controls, often offline
- Lower accuracy; requires more manual effort to analyse and improve
- It requires extensive customisation and has a steeper learning curve
Specialised MES system
- It is tailored to the specific needs and processes of each industry
- It incorporates industry-specific regulations and standards
- Optimise workflows in line with the sector’s operational realities
- Captures real-time process data tailored to sector-specific requirements
- Incorporate specific checklists and quality controls into the process
- Optimise resources and reduce scrap based on actual parameters
- Quick setup with processes already tailored to the sector

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MES software for plastic injection moulding?
It is a system that enables real-time monitoring of the production process, keeping track of cycles, moulds, downtime, scrap and quality whilst production is underway, rather than at the end of the shift.
How does this MES differ from a standard MES?
IbernovaMES is specifically designed for injection moulding and stamping, with control over critical cycles, moulds and sensitive parameters, without the need to adapt a standard MES.
How does a MES help to reduce scrap?
It detects process deviations as soon as they occur, enabling them to be corrected before they result in defective parts, rework or material wastage.
Is an ERP system necessary to implement an MES?
No. IbernovaMES can operate independently, and if you already have an ERP system, it integrates with it to share real-time data on production, quality and consumption.
What kind of data is collected on site?
Cycles, machine statuses, stoppages and micro-stops, scrap, quality controls, consumption and traceability by batch, mould and machine.
How long does it take to start seeing results?
The benefits become apparent from the very first months, as visibility of the process improves, hidden losses are reduced and decisions are made based on real-time data.
