BOOST your production
Digital solutions for greater efficiency and productivity
In times of rising costs, efficiency determines competitiveness. With intelligent digital solutions, you can get more performance out of your existing machines and systematically increase the productivity of your production.
Shorter cycle times, less scrap and more stable processes reduce unit costs and increase output. Improvements become measurable, reproducible and can be scaled across additional machines or plants. This way, you turn optimisation potential into real economic value.
For greater efficiency and productivity
BOOST solutions at a glance
iQ.boost training
Less scrap, greater efficiency: with iQ.boost, you will learn how to operate and make optimal use of the iQ programmes, identify optimisation potential and secure a clear competitive advantage through hands-on training.
The following digital solutions are included in the iQ.boost training
iQ weight control
The software optimises the injection volume during the ongoing injection moulding process. This regulates fluctuations in plastic viscosity and responds to external influencing factors. iQ weight control compares the injection pressure curve of each cycle with a predefined reference curve. Additionally, iQ weight control plus regulates the injection process via the flow time. In both cases, the accuracy of the injection moulding process is increased 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 moulding process: plasticising, injection, cooling, demoulding and production. Hundreds of process parameters are continuously recorded and analysed. 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 moulding, is typically adjusted individually after mould setup. Several components need to be test-moulded and analysed in the quality laboratory. The iQ hold control software automatically optimises the holding pressure. The result: No manual effort, savings in time and raw material, optimised cycle time.
iQ clamp control
Mould breathing is the basis for iQ clamp control. If this is too high or too low, defective parts can result from burners or burr formation. Wear in the mould is also a consequence. The intelligent iQ clamp control software calculates the optimal clamping force. Resource-saving production reduces the load on the machine and saves energy.
iQ flow control
20% of the reject parts produced in injection moulding result from errors in mould temperature control. Process monitoring and a stable temperature control process are essential prerequisites for constant production processes and high product quality. The digital product iQ flow control helps you to automatically adjust the mould temperature.

 "Set-up time optimisation in injection moulding | 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 unit, the assistant reduces set-up time in combination with other technical equipment. The results of automatic set-up time optimisation in injection moulding include: Shorter product changeover times, increased production efficiency, error minimisation and optimised processes.
Process checklist
The process checklist is the intelligent roadmap for every optimisation on the injection moulding machine. Integrated directly into the machine control system, it guides users through all relevant steps – from initial set-up to final fine-tuning. The process checklist can be flexibly adapted to company-specific standards, provides transparent documentation and is ideal for shift changes or production start-ups under time pressure.
