BOOST your production
Digital solutions for greater efficiency and productivity
In times of rising costs, efficiency determines competitiveness. With intelligent digital solutions, you can increase performance from your existing machines and boost your production efficiency in a targeted way.
Shorter cycle times, fewer rejects, and more stable processes reduce unit costs and increase output. Improvements become measurable, reproducible, and scalable across machines and plants. This is how you turn optimization potential into real economic value.

BOOST Solutions at a Glance
iQ.boost training
Less waste, more efficiency: With iQ.boost, you’ll learn how to operate your machines more effectively, maximize the use of iQ programs, identify optimization opportunities, and gain a clear competitive advantage through hands-on training.
The following digital solutions are included in the iQ.boost training
iQ weight control
The software optimizes the injection volume during the injection molding process. This regulates fluctuations in plastic material viscosity and responds to external influencing factors. iQ weight control compares the injection pressure curve of each cycle with a previously defined reference curve. Alternatively, iQ weight control plus regulates the injection process via the flow time. In both cases, the accuracy of the injection molding process is improved, and the weight of the components remains constant.
iQ process observer
The AI-supported software solution iQ process observer continuously monitors all five phases of the injection molding process: plasticizing, injection, cooling, demolding, and production. Hundreds of process parameters are captured and analyzed in real time. The results of the AI data analysis are clearly displayed on the machine control system and in the e-connect customer portal.
iQ hold control
The sealing point, also known as the holding pressure time in injection molding, is typically adjusted individually after mold setup. Several components need to be test-molded and analyzed in the quality laboratory. The iQ hold control software automatically optimizes the holding pressure . The result: No manual effort, savings in time and raw material, optimized cycle time.
iQ clamp control
Mold breathing is the basis for iQ clamp control. If this is too high or too low, parts will show injection molding defects like burns or burrs. Mold wear is also a consequence. The intelligent iQ clamp control software calculates the optimum clamping force. Resource-saving production reduces the load on the machine and saves energy.
iQ flow control
20% of rejects in injection molding are a result of mold temperature control errors. Process monitoring and a stable temperature control process are essential prerequisites for consistent production processes and high product quality. The digital product, iQ flow control, automatically adjusts the mold temperature control.

 "Set-up time optimization in injection molding | ENGEL")
Set-up assistant
The set-up assistant guides the machine operator safely and quickly through the tool change using a checklist. Integrated into the control system, the assistant reduces set-up time in combination with other technical equipment. The results of automatic set-up time optimization in injection molding include shorter product changeover times, increased production efficiency, error minimization, and optimized processes.
Process checklist
The process checklist serves as a smart roadmap for every optimization step on the injection molding machine. Integrated directly into the machine control system, it guides you through all relevant steps – from initial setup to final fine-tuning. The checklist can be flexibly adapted to your company’s standards, provides transparent documentation, and is ideal for shift changes or time-sensitive production runs.
Our experts are ready to help you optimize your production.
