The injection molding problem
Your generic ERP was never designed for the physics of plastics
Family Molds Break Your Costing
Standard ERPs assume one machine cycle produces one part. When a family mold yields four different SKUs in a single shot, your job costing, scheduling, and inventory splits fall apart. Every run becomes a manual reconciliation exercise that nobody trusts.
Regrind Is Invisible to Your Ledger
You regrind sprues, runners, and reject parts to mix back with virgin resin. But your software treats that scrap as destroyed — skewing your material costs, breaking lot traceability for automotive and medical customers, and leaving inventory perpetually wrong.
Scheduling Ignores Your Constraints
Press tonnage, mold availability, color-run sequencing, and mandatory resin drying times must all align simultaneously. A scheduler that only knows "machine + time" forces your planners into spreadsheets — or worse, a whiteboard.
Micro-Stoppages Kill Margin Silently
A two-second cycle time delay on a press running 24/7 destroys thousands of dollars in margin per week. Without real-time weight and output monitoring, you only discover the bleed after the production report lands on your desk — too late.
Purpose-built for injection molding
Every feature maps directly to how you run your floor
Naologic doesn't bolt injection-specific features onto a horizontal platform. From clamping force validation and directional changeover matrices to regrind conversion algorithms and carbon black content tracking, every capability reflects the physical reality of running presses, managing molds, and tracking resin.
Mold & Tooling Intelligence
Register every mold as a digital Tool Model with exact clamping force limits, tie-bar dimensions, and cycle time baselines. The scheduler physically blocks incompatible press-mold pairings — preventing catastrophic machine damage before a job is ever assigned.
Scrap Regrind Conversion
Log scrap by weight and location. Define precise regrind mix percentages. The system converts processed waste back into a distinct, traceable, costed raw material SKU in your inventory — preserving lot lineage for automotive and medical audit requirements.
Directional Changeover Scheduling
Going from white to black resin takes 10 minutes. Going from black to white takes 2 hours. Naologic's dynamic changeover matrices capture this directional complexity. The scheduler groups similar color runs and calculates exact transition times per product variant pairing.
Real-Time Weight & Output Monitoring
Live over/under weight visualizations continuously compare actual output against your BOM's theoretical calculations. If a press is running heavy and silently consuming excess resin, scale-alerts notify the floor manager instantly — mid-run, not post-mortem.
Injection molders on Naologic see gains across the entire operation
When your mold data, regrind tracking, scheduling constraints, and quality workflows live in one connected system, the gains compound across every press cycle. Stop leaking margin through disconnected spreadsheets and manual reconciliation. Start measuring what actually matters.
Deep capabilities
Every feature an injection molder needs — in one platform
Naologic covers the complete operational lifecycle of an injection molding facility. From quoting and purchasing raw resin to scheduling presses, managing molds, tracking quality, converting regrind, and shipping certified finished goods — every module is connected and every data point flows to your financials automatically. Below is a detailed breakdown of the capabilities most critical to injection molders.
Why switch
Naologic vs. Legacy Plastics ERPs
GlobalShop Solutions and DelmiaWorks were built in a different era. They force injection molders into workarounds for the workflows that matter most — mold compatibility validation, regrind tracking, resin-specific quality testing, and constraint-based scheduling. Naologic was designed from the ground up for the physics and economics of your floor.
AI for injection molders
Logic Pilot understands your floor — not just your data
Naologic's embedded AI isn't a chatbot. At Level 1, operators ask natural language questions about resin stock, mold locations, and active job statuses across every module. At Level 2, the AI proactively analyzes your production schedule and surfaces optimization opportunities - recommending a color-run resequencing that saves 90 minutes of changeover, or flagging a regrind mix ratio that's drifting from spec. At Level 3, it drafts RFQs for depleted resin stock and routes them for your approval. At Level 4, it handles routine data entry autonomously. Five levels of autonomy, fully configurable. The AI works at the speed your team is comfortable with.
Get started
Live on the floor in days - not quarters
Naologic implementations are measured in weeks. We map your molds, presses, BOMs, resin configurations, and routing strategies into the system. Your team starts scheduling real jobs on the interactive Gantt, and operators clock into digital job sheets on mounted tablets — all within a focused onboarding sprint. No 18-month rollout. No six-figure consulting engagement.

FAQs
Common questions from injection molders
We've implemented Naologic in injection molding facilities running everything from single-cavity prototype tools to 128-cavity high-volume production molds. Here are the questions we hear most from plant managers and operations leaders evaluating a switch from legacy plastics ERPs.
