Intelligent Software for Injection Molding: Hopper - the live parameter recommender
Rising machine complexity, multi-machine operation, and the shortage of skilled workers are putting growing pressure on injection molding production. This is exactly where plus10 steps in with data-based software solutions: Hopper, plus10's Process Parameter Recommender, learns live from machine, raw material, and process data and generates situational recommendations for optimally matched parameter settings — before scrap even occurs.
Instead of relying on manual trial-and-error and the experience of individual operators, Hopper makes process knowledge scalable: production stays stable even with changing personnel or simultaneous operation of multiple machines. Hopper detects batch variations early, reacts situationally to differences in drying, temperature, or viscosity, and works reliably even with demanding materials such as COC/COP, PEEK, PBT, or PPS.
plus10's GMP-compliant solutions are globally unique in the field of live-learning systems for healthcare, pharma, and medtech production — developed for industries where process safety and traceability are especially critical.
The result: up to 20% less scrap, more stable cycle times, and less downtime from manual readjustment.
Hopper can be experienced live at two booths: at MA micro automation (Hall A5, Booth A5-5117) and at ARBURG (Hall A3, Booth A3-3101). At both booths, Hopper runs directly on the injection molding machine and delivers recommendations in real time.
A visit to either booth is worthwhile for anyone looking to sustainably reduce scrap and changeover times in injection molding production.
