The numbers your current ERP can't calculate
Standard ERP systems collapse when raw materials are measured in pounds, production is measured in feet per minute, and finished goods are sold by the roll. Naologic performs these multi-dimensional conversions natively — and tracks the real cost of every foot your line produces, including start-up purge, regrind recapture, and variable yield rates.
Your software counts parts. Your factory runs continuous lines.
Weight vs. Length vs. Roll
You buy resin by the pound, extrude by the foot, and sell by the roll. Standard ERPs force you to create thousands of redundant SKUs or reconcile everything in spreadsheets. Inventory counts never match reality.
- Multi-dimensional UOM conversions built in
- No redundant SKU proliferation
- Weight-to-length-to-roll tracking
- Inventory accuracy without spreadsheets
Start-Up Scrap Is Invisible
Every extrusion run burns 15–60 minutes of material reaching steady state. Generic job costing treats this purge as a rounding error. Your true cost-per-foot is a fiction until you isolate start-up waste from production yield.
- Isolate purge costs from production costs
- Track real-time lbs consumed vs. feet produced
- Account for inline edge-trim regrind
- Accurate variable yield costing
Cycle Times Don't Exist Here
Extrusion scheduling runs on feet per minute, not seconds per part. Runs must be sequenced light-to-dark, grouped by die profile, and coordinated across co-extrusion stations. Generic scheduling engines cannot handle this.
- Continuous run-rate scheduling (ft/min)
- Color sequencing logic (light to dark)
- Die profile grouping for changeover reduction
- Multi-machine co-extrusion routing
Quality Drift Kills Margins
Dimensional tolerances on extruded profiles are measured in thousandths. Without real-time ovality, thickness, and diameter checks embedded in production, defective footage ships — triggering costly returns and rejected truckloads.
- Variant-level dimensional tolerances
- Automated pass/fail on physical measurements
- Certificate of Conformance generation
- Carbon black content bounds enforcement
Purpose-built for extruders
One system that speaks weight, length, speed, and dollars - simultaneously
Naologic was architected from the ground up for process and continuous-flow manufacturing. Every module — from purchasing raw resin by the pound, through scheduling lines at feet per minute, to shipping finished rolls with Certificates of Conformance — shares a single data model that natively handles the multi-dimensional math extruders rely on. No bolt-on converters. No middleware hacks. No spreadsheet bridges. Your resin configuration, carbon black limits, melt-flow testing, and regrind recapture all live inside the same system that generates your Bill of Lading, prints your Zebra labels, and enforces your price-per-mile freight rules. Everything connected. Everything accurate. Everything auditable.
How we compareh
Naologic vs. Legacy Extrusion ERPs
GlobalShop Solutions and DelmiaWorks were built for general-purpose discrete manufacturing. They handle extrusion as an afterthought - bolting on workarounds for UOM conversions, continuous scheduling, and process-specific quality control. Naologic was purpose-built for plastics manufacturing from day one. Every feature below exists natively - no customization fees, no consultants, no middleware.
