MOULD MAKING PET planet Insider Vol. 19 No. 12/18 www.petpla.net 35 implement industry 4.0 technologies across our company. We modernise, the customer wins. Creating craft innovative customer interactions by adding specialised features and ser- vices boost brand loyalty and we feel a closer connection with our custom- ers around the world, becoming an enterprise powered by a rich flow of data in our core,” Eng. Thiago Tullio Mouldintec’s, Brazil Country Manager is convinced. Based on Unity, a mobile games programming platform, the Mould- intec App takes advantage of the strong programming capabilities to create an easy to use interface and “lightweight” software. A PC version runs on the company’s computers also. The app is a 10 stages timeline of a standard PET blow mould manufac- turing process. Starting with a P.O. every stage is linked with the con- firmed delivery time. The app shows when a stage must be accomplished !!!! ! "# $ ! ""% %$ & '( ) * ) + , - from Moldintec’s side. The inner cus- tomer process is exposed, including the limit date for a customer task to keep the project on track. Receiving moulds on time is mandatory in the industry. Many stages are usually out of the con- trol of the mould manufacturer as are bottle drawing approval, blower technical specs, tooling definitions, as well commercial terms. “With the new app, all the players are on the same page. One can track more accurately the information flow and how bottlers around the world inter- act with Moldintec. In addition one sees online the project timeline, if any data is missing from one side or if the project is on time or delayed. We prefer working in confidence with our supplier even if we’re not on track. That minimises uninformed delays that are dangerous when we are launching a new product to market,” explains Eng. Demis Ver- astegui, AJE Group Global Packag- ing and Innovation Director. Mouldintec delivers a unique username and password for every customer with the start-up of a new project. That will be the ID for the next projects too. With the company working with a customer’s confiden- tial information each project has to be given a codename to avoid data leakage. The internet is a hard envi- ronment; even the most protected database can be hacked, so the app information does not show the final beverage, shape or other sensible commercial material. The app is operating a system language adapted to English, Spanish and Portuguese, following Moldintec’s major markets.
