Step 01
Measure material
Silos, stock levels, material consumption and notifications become visible and are reliably monitored.
03 / Data
Prime Control MES and visualisation.
Real-time insight into OEE, machine status, production counts, energy and downtime. From machine to management reporting — in one connected process.
Prime Control collects data from your machines and auxiliary equipment and translates it into actionable management information. On shopfloor displays your team sees at a glance how production is running; in the dashboard, management has real-time visibility of OEE, downtime, energy and production counts. Data is no longer an end in itself, but a means to steer better.
Integration takes place via the standards your machine park speaks — Euromap 63/77, OPC UA or simple pulse signals — and connects seamlessly to ERP, Power BI and your own systems via API. Prime Control grows modularly with your organisation. Read more about the product at www.prime-control.nl.

One system for machines, energy and auxiliary equipment.
Prime Control brings together all production data of your plastics processing: from cycle time and OEE per injection moulding machine to energy consumption and the status of your dryers.
Machine monitoring
Every injection moulding machine in real time
For each machine you immediately see the current cycle time, production status, machine efficiency and raw material and colourant consumption. Order, mould and production parameters are grouped together, and the cycle analysis shows where time is being lost — so you spot deviations before they cost production.
Real-time planning board
A schedule that keeps pace with your machines
The planning board shows all production orders per machine in a weekly or monthly overview. And because the schedule tracks the current cycle times of your machines in real time, end times shift automatically as soon as an order runs faster or slower. Delays, changeover moments and free capacity are immediately visible — so you commit to reliable delivery dates without manual calculations.
Energy monitoring
Energy consumption down to machine level
The energy dashboard shows the live total consumption of your production and the consumption per machine, dryer, blender or auxiliary unit. Peaks and hidden consumption become immediately visible, you monitor your grid connection limit and compare periods effortlessly — the basis for lower energy costs per product produced.
In cooperation with Like Energy we also provide the documents and reports for energy audits, including the mandatory EED energy audit — substantiated with the measurement data from Prime Control.
Auxiliary equipment
Your dryers and auxiliary equipment under control too
All dryers and auxiliary equipment clearly grouped together: type, capacity, material, drying temperature and energy consumption per unit. Running hours and maintenance intervals are tracked automatically, so you schedule maintenance before a dryer fails — and your material quality remains assured.
A connected plastics process in four steps.
From raw material to management reporting: every part of your installation works together in one connected process.
Step 02
Control conveying
Central material conveying systems, dryers, valves and lines are operated from one clear installation control system.
Step 03
Connect machines
Injection moulding machines, robots and auxiliary equipment automatically deliver status, cycles and production counts.
Step 04
Improve production
Prime Control translates data into OEE, downtime analysis, planning, energy and actionable management information.
