Smart ERP for Smarter Extrusion
April 28, 2025
End-to-End Visibility for Aluminium Manufacturers
Introduction:
In the extrusion manufacturing industry, time is more than money — it’s productivity, customer satisfaction, and long-term profitability. Each day, plant managers and business leaders face hidden inefficiencies: a missing die halts production, foundry planning misfires, bundles are packed but lack traceability, and dispatches are delayed due to pricing confusion.
At EasyCloud ERP, we’ve addressed these recurring challenges by building a cloud-based ERP system designed specifically for aluminium extrusion plants — bringing real-time visibility, automation, and data-backed decision-making to every corner of your operation.
Tool Room Management – Digital Control from the Start
Production in extrusion begins in the tool room, where dies are stored and maintained. However, many extrusion companies still rely on manual registers or spreadsheets, which leads to lost dies, downtime, and poor visibility of die usage.
With EasyCloud ERP, your tool room becomes a digital command center:
Track every die issued in real time
View complete die history (usage, repairs, remaining life)
Access centralized die cards with a click
This digitization ensures zero dependency on individuals, improves asset management, and enables smoother shift handovers.
Foundry Planning – Aligning Melt Requirements with Production
The foundry is the backbone of extrusion. If melt planning is reactive or guess-based, it leads to material wastage or line stoppages.
EasyCloud’s ERP enables:
Melt forecasting aligned with production orders
Real-time dashboards to track melt status and requirements
Reduction in excess melt and unplanned shortages
Result? The foundry team transitions from firefighting to proactive, data-driven planning.
Shop Floor Monitoring – Live Production Insights
Whether it’s press utilization, shift performance, or rejection rates, real-time data on the shop floor is essential for improving efficiency and throughput.
With EasyCloud ERP:
Monitor every press in real time
Track die usage, quantities produced, and shift outputs
Identify bottlenecks before they turn into costly problems
This isn’t just about generating reports — it's about creating live operational awareness for production heads and plant managers.
Smart Packaging with QR Codes – Total Traceability
Packaging isn’t the end of production — it’s the start of traceable logistics. Manual labeling and handwritten checklists cause errors and confusion at dispatch.
EasyCloud revolutionizes packaging:
Operators tag bundles with QR code stickers directly at the press
QR codes integrate with digital weight scales
Each QR code links to: order number, weight, quantity, section, die, heat number, and job card details
Bundles are scanned and confirmed in real time via mobile
This system ensures complete traceability from production to dispatch, reduces packing errors, and speeds up the entire delivery chain.
Master Price Engine – Accurate and Dynamic Pricing
Pricing in the extrusion business involves multiple factors: alloys, sizes, finishes, and client-specific terms. When rates are scattered across Excel sheets or WhatsApp messages, mistakes are inevitable.
EasyCloud ERP offers:
A unified Master Price Module
One-click access to customer rates for sales, dispatch, and accounts
Real-time updates across orders, invoices, and dispatches
Any change in rates is instantly reflected across the system — ensuring billing accuracy and eliminating invoice delays.
