DTR Software: Plastics ERP For Extrusion Industry

Managing the production of continuous sheeting, film, tubes, pipes, rods, profile shapes, and coating wire, cable, cord, or other detailed extrusion operations is a snap with DTR Plastics software.

Schedule Secondary Operations

Use the plastics-specific BOMs within DTR to monitor costs and schedule fabrication processes such as cutting, notching, drilling, punching, routing, gluing, embossing, pad printing, silk screening, hot stamping, assembly and more. You can allocate costs evenly across your operations and factor in wait states for cooling operations when scheduling jobs as well as the set up time for new jobs. Extruders also can leverage plastics-specific inventory management tools to keep track of materials at multiple warehouses and locations and/or manage lot codes and serialized inventory.

Manage Multiple Units of Measure

Whether you are purchasing materials or entering a sales order, you can assign multiple units of measure to individual inventory items and DTR will calculate conversion quantities—relieving inventory in the base unit of measure. You define the units of measure (e.g., pounds, linear feet, sheets, inches) and DTR Plastics software does the rest. In addition, DTR provides visibility into your inventory quantities in “QC hold” while the product is being evaluated for dimensions, color, wall thickness, and more.

Drawing upon our intimate understanding of your extrusion processes, we’ve designed DTR Plastics software to help you manage:

• Raw materials in pounds and finished goods in multiple units of measure
• Co-extrusion and/or dual extrusion
• Inter-level scheduling (including wait states for cooling operations)
• Part weight calculations
• Regrind
• Lot control
• Packaging options
• Station/die/item relationships
