Pioneering Real-Time Tool Monitoring for Injection Moulding
Since 2019 Digital Moulds has been collaborating with the BMW Group to digitize injection moulding tools, ushering in a new era of transparency, efficiency, and data-driven decision-making in toolmaking. Their partnership highlights the transformative potential of real-time monitoring and standardized data exchange within advanced manufacturing ecosystems.
At the core of the collaboration is a system-independent digital interface that seamlessly integrates with BMW’s existing IT infrastructure. This interface enables standardized, high-efficiency data transfer, optimized for complex production environments. Its scalability and ease of implementation have already attracted interest from multiple global manufacturers.
Real-Time Insight into Tool Condition and Usage
The cornerstone of the solution is smart mould monitoring. This technology provides real-time insights into tool condition, usage, and location—accessible anytime, anywhere. By continuously collecting and analyzing data from injection moulds, the system enhances visibility across production sites and supports proactive decision-making in tool qualification and quality assurance.
Interactive dashboards and live KPIs offer users a granular view of tool performance, enabling predictive maintenance and immediate issue resolution. The result is improved operational uptime and greater supply chain transparency.
Easy Integration with New and Legacy Tooling
Digital Moulds, a subsidiary of toolmaking leaders Haidlmair and Hofmann, brings deep industry expertise to the table. Their technology is designed for fast, non-intrusive integration—whether on new or existing moulds—minimizing downtime and implementation costs.
This agility, combined with a commitment to technical excellence and fast execution, positions Digital Moulds as a frontrunner in the digitalization of injection moulding.
Enabling Data-Driven Production Control
With real-time data at their fingertips, manufacturers gain a robust foundation for strategic planning, tool qualification, and production optimization. Digital Moulds’ solutions reflect the growing demand for intelligent, connected tooling that supports the future of smart, agile manufacturing.
Julian Resch, CEO of Digital Moulds, reflects on the milestone partnership, “The long-standing cooperation with the BMW Group is a strong sign of trust and an important step toward the digital evolution of toolmaking.”
As industries continue to pursue Industry 4.0 strategies, Digital Moulds’ real-time monitoring solutions are proving essential for those looking to enhance quality control, reduce operational risks, and stay competitive in a data-driven manufacturing landscape.
