Intelligent manufacturing is the development trend of the manufacturing industry, and the cornerstone of Topstar’s smart manufacturing strategy is the concept of open injection molding machine control systems. Traditional injection molding machine usually operate as isolated units with limited interaction between components and minimal flexibility in adapting to different production requirements. At Topstar, we have redefined this model by developing a platform that integrates software and hardware to create a seamless, interconnected production environment. The system enables all aspects of the production process to work together harmoniously. The result is an optimized production line with real-time data exchange and dynamic adjustments that significantly improve overall efficiency and product consistency.

In addition, our system’s open architecture allows for continuous upgrading and customization. Manufacturers can easily customize the injection molding machine’s functions to meet specific needs, whether it is adjusting to produce high-precision parts or adapting to different raw material properties.

Improving production intelligence through open software control of injection molding machine

The core pillar of Topstar’s innovation is our open software control system, which can transform traditional injection molding machines into innovative, adaptable tools for modern manufacturing. The open system acts as the brain of the injection molding machine, connecting various production modules and facilitating seamless communication between them. With our injection molding machine technology, customers can fully customize process parameters to suit specific applications, ensuring consistent performance even under fluctuating conditions.

Our open software platform comprehensively controls key variables such as temperature, pressure, and cycle time. In addition, the open architecture of our control system allows manufacturers to integrate additional software modules and external devices. This includes connecting the injection molding machine with peripherals such as robotic arms to automate material handling or incorporating it with energy management systems to improve efficiency.

End-to-end intelligent injection molding production line

Smart manufacturing requires seamless integration across workflows. Topstar’s injection molding machines are synchronized with robotic part removal systems, conveyors, and vision inspection units through a unified control interface. For example, a US medical device producer has automated its entire production line from resin drying to packaging, reducing manual labor by 60%. The injection molding machine’s “plug and play” peripheral device connection ensures that auxiliary equipment such as chillers and dryers autonomously adjust settings based on real-time process data. This end-to-end automation shortens cycle times and reduces human errors, resulting in a 25% increase in overall equipment effectiveness. To further simplify operations, Topstar’s machines feature predictive maintenance. Sensors monitor key components such as hydraulic pumps and heaters, alerting operators to potential failures before they occur.

Customized injection molding machine solutions for specific industry applications

For example, Topstar can provide PET-specific injection molding machines to address the molding difficulties of PET raw materials. The unique machine uses a dedicated screw, a high-torque motor, and an enlarged power system to increase the overall plasticizing efficiency by more than 20%. At the same time, it also dramatically reduces defects such as bubbles and impurities that may occur during the molding process, ensuring the permeability and yield rate of the molded preforms. This industry-specific customization is supported by the open architecture control system, which allows seamless integration of additional modules and intelligent control functions. As a result, customers can improve the injection molding machine’s performance and adapt to changing market demands and technological advances.

Promote management informatization

Management informatization is another key aspect of our solution. By collecting detailed data on key production indicators such as cycle time, energy consumption, and product quality, the control system of the injection molding machine provides real-time insights, enabling manufacturers to make informed decisions. This data is accessible through a user-friendly dashboard, allowing production managers to monitor performance, identify bottlenecks, and implement process improvements promptly. Integrating this comprehensive data analysis into the production process is game-changing because it promotes continuous improvement and improves overall productivity.

In addition, the system supports seamless connectivity with other manufacturing equipment, including sensors, robotic arms, and central feeding systems. This connectivity ensures that all production line components operate coordinated, reducing delays and increasing production. The result is an intelligent, data-driven production environment that improves efficiency and provides consistent, high-quality output.
