Press release submitted on behalf of RJG.
RJG, Inc., Traverse City, Michigan, is proud to announce the expansion of The Hub, our leading data solution for injection molding, with the launch of The Hub Connect, The Hub Lite, and a new data migration feature for The eDART.
The Hub Connect: View Process and Production Data all in one place
RJG is excited to introduce enhanced connectivity features with The Hub Connect, a powerful tool that bridges the gap between The Hub and other EMS and ERP systems. The Hub Connect enables injection molders to integrate process data seamlessly across their operations, using the OPC-UA protocol. Pairing The Hub data with your operational data empowers you to achieve improved process control by identifying and addressing deviations in real-time, ensuring consistent product quality, and minimizing scrap. It provides information that enhances operational efficiency by optimizing process parameters and machine performance, reducing cycle times, improving productivity, and minimizing downtime. With data-driven decision- making, you gain valuable insights into process trends and performance patterns, enabling informed choices that boost production efficiency and product quality while reducing costs through minimized scrap, downtime, and optimized resource utilization.
Key benefits of The Hub Connect include:
- Seamless Integration: Translates captured data into an industry-standard format, ensuring compatibility with ERP and MES systems for easy integration.
- Comprehensive Data Capture: Collects critical process data, including cycle parameters, quality metrics, and user changes, providing a complete view of the molding process.
- Data-Driven Insights: Standardizes data for robust analytics, enabling trend identification, process optimization, and informed decision-making.
The Hub Lite: Migrate Tool Tryout Data to Production Quickly
In addition to The Hub Connect, RJG is also launching The Hub Lite, a cutting-edge addition to The Hub family specifically designed to simplify the process of capturing and migrating tool tryout data from the tool shop to the production floor. With its laptop portability and advanced data export capabilities, The Hub Lite ensures that tool builders and molders can seamlessly transition from tool trials to production, reducing new tool launch time to production, downtime and improving part quality.
Key benefits of The Hub Lite include:
- Seamless Integration with CoPilot: Easily import tool tryout data and templates directly into the production The Hub then automatically populates RJG’s CoPilot, enabling faster setup and consistent part quality from the start.
- Portability and Accessibility: Access and manage data anywhere from your laptop, giving you the flexibility to work wherever the job takes you.
- Enhanced Data Accuracy: Collect more reliable data on each tool, leading to improved part quality and reduced variability in production.
New eDART Data Migration Feature: Quick, secure solution for accessing eDART mold files and templates for use on the CoPilot.
RJG is also excited to introduce the eDART Migration feature, designed to help users seamlessly convert eDART mold files and templates for use on The CoPilot in production. This tool saves valuable time by eliminating the need for manual data entry and ensures there are no delays in production. By securely and accurately converting eDART files, the tool stores them in The Hub until needed, and when required, The Hub automatically transfers mold configurations and templates to The CoPilot. This efficient workflow guarantees the accuracy of critical production data and offers a smooth migration experience.
