Injection molding factories often have a mix of injection molding machines, robots, auxiliary machines (dryers, mold temperature controllers), and central material feeding systems of different brands and years. Inconsistent equipment communication protocols (e.g., EUROMAP 63/77, OPC UA) lead to data silos, making it difficult to integrate into the MES system for unified scheduling and real-time monitoring.

With the increase in small-batch, multi-variety demands, if each mold change still requires hours of manual adjustment for the robot's EOAT fixtures, IML label feeding systems, and programs, the automation advantages will be greatly weakened. Therefore, standardized fixture interfaces and parameterized one-click product changeover become key.

After product extraction, subsequent gate trimming, visual inspection (AOI), automatic stacking, packaging, and AGV cart transportation all require high coordination. Only by integrating "front-end injection molding" and "back-end logistics" can we truly solve the problem of workpiece accumulation and realize a modern "lights-out factory."
