About the Molding Industry Pack

Although the functionality in the Molding Industry Pack optional module is intended for use in the molding industry, it is equally useful in any manufacturing process that relies on tooling, or that is highly repetitive.

Forms in the Molding Industry Pack optional module can be used only after the SyteLineMO license is applied and the license is enabled on the Optional Modules form.

The Molding Industry Pack can be loosely divided into these areas:

• Tooling: The various parts of a molding machine that can be defined, managed, and maintained as individual resources. For example, carriers, fixtures, cavities, inserts, sprues, runners, and gates can all be defined as tooling.
• Co-jobs: A group of jobs that share at least one operation.
• Estimating: The ability to create estimates for co-jobs and jobs that utilize tooling.
• Alternate BOMs: Bills of material that can represent minor deviations due to machine tooling, material concentrations, and mold tolerances.
