FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What plastics & packaging processes can Guidewheel monitor?

Guidewheel works across injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, thermoforming, and packaging lines. Because it reads each machine’s electrical signature, it monitors any asset regardless of age or make.

Can it help reduce mold changeover and downtime losses?

Yes. Guidewheel surfaces the biggest downtime drivers, like mold change delays and feeder stoppages, in real time, so teams can act before they impact production.

Do we need to integrate with the machine’s controls?

No. Clip-on current sensors install non-invasively in minutes, with no PLC access required, so even older presses and lines can be monitored.

How quickly will we see results?

Most plastics & packaging plants are live within days and begin spotting recoverable capacity within the first weeks.
