Manufacturing · Seal and O-ring Manufacturer Management Software

One system for size catalogues, compound lots, cure dates and seal kits.

Manage AS568 and metric O-ring size catalogues, compound lots, mould and cavity records, cure dates, Shore A readings, shelf-life rules, lip seal assembly and kits in one system. Each lot carries its mix, cure date and test results. Order desk, press hall and lab share one lot record.

  • Size catalogue, compounds and shelf-life periods entered as you stock them
  • Stock, open orders and mould lists brought across
  • Catalogue and stage changes made by GullySystem staff on request

Seal and O-ring Manufacturer Management Software is shaped by GullySystem around size catalogues, compound lots, mould records, cure dates and kits for makers of O-rings, lip seals and hydraulic seals. Each bag links to its lot, compound and cure date. Sales staff see ageing stock before it ships.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Cure dates are not on the stock

Rubber carries a storage period counted from the cure date, yet bags sit in drawers with no date written on them. An aged bag of EPDM rings then reaches a customer who needs fresh seals. Nobody notices.

The size catalogue is a spreadsheet maze

Thousands of AS568 dash numbers and metric sizes in nitrile, fluorocarbon and silicone live in sheets with colour variants. The price list and the stock list drift apart over a single quarter.

One mould serves many sizes

A tool with swappable inserts and a multi-cavity plate makes neighbouring dash sizes. Only the toolmaker remembers which insert makes which ring. Planners guess.

Compounds look alike once bagged

Black nitrile, black fluorocarbon and black EPDM rings cannot be told apart by eye once they leave the press. An unlabelled bag puts a customer’s hydraulic circuit or fuel line at risk.

Kits are packed from memory

A repair kit for a hydraulic cylinder holds a rod seal, a piston seal, a wiper, a wear ring and several O-rings. The pack list lives in the packer’s head, so a kit leaves short one wiper.

Lip seals have several supply chains

Metal cases, garter springs and rubber lips arrive from separate suppliers in separate lots. When a seal leaks on a gearbox, nobody can say which case and spring went into it.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Order intake

    Orders arrive by catalogue size, compound and colour, often hundreds of lines in one distributor file. Stock is checked line by line against the bin and the open mould plan. Short sizes are flagged.

  2. 2

    Moulding plan

    Missing sizes are grouped by compound and mould, so a mixed batch is used while its scorch time is still fresh. Press hall leads see the plan by platen. Nothing waits on a phone call.

  3. 3

    Mixing and moulding

    The lab tests each mix for Shore A hardness and rheometer cure curve. Presses then mould the rings, and the lot is recorded with its cure date. Mould number and cavity count go in too.

  4. 4

    Trim and assembly

    Flash is trimmed by tumbling or cryogenic deflashing. Cord is cut and spliced into rings, and lip seals are assembled from case, garter spring and rubber lip. Each step is logged against the lot.

  5. 5

    Sampling and release

    Hardness, compression set per ASTM D395 and dimension checks are recorded against the lot. A lot that fails stays on hold, and only quality staff can release it back to stock.

  6. 6

    Kit, label and deliver

    Parts and kits are packed in bags labelled with size, compound, lot and cure date. A delivery note and a material certificate go out with the order. The dock scan confirms every bag.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Size and compound catalogue

Hold each size by inside diameter, cross-section and AS568 dash number or metric code, with compound, colour, Shore A hardness and price variants. One record feeds the price list and the stock list.

Orders with many lines

Take distributor orders of hundreds of sizes and show stock against each line. Lines that need a press run are marked for the moulding plan. Short sizes pass to the moulding plan.

Moulding plan by compound

Group missing sizes by compound and mould so each mix is used while fresh, and show the plan by press. Planners drag a run between platens when a mould is down.

Mould, insert and cavity register

Record which mould, insert and cavity plate makes which sizes, with cavity count, shot history and repair dates. The toolmaker’s memory becomes a list anyone can read.

Compound mixes and test results

Log each mix with Shore A, rheometer cure curve and compression set, then link every moulded lot to the mix that made it. A failed mix points to every lot it touched.

Cure date and shelf-life control

Store the cure date of each lot and apply the storage period set per compound. Lots nearing the end are listed for first sale, so old silicone goes out before new.

Cord-splice rings

Track rings cut from extruded cord and joined, with cord lot, vulcanised or glued joint method and the joint inspection result.

Lip seal assembly

Record case, garter spring and rubber lip lots in each lip seal batch, with the press-fit and leak checks that followed. A returned seal points back to all three.

Seal kits

Define kits for common cylinders and pumps by part list, build them from stock and tick each rod seal, wiper and O-ring into the pack. Any gap holds the kit back.

Lot labels and delivery

Bag labels show size, compound, lot and cure date, and a material certificate is issued with the delivery note. The dock scan matches label to order.

Invoices and distributor accounts

Invoice distributor orders line by line as delivered and match receipts against them, so overdue accounts stand out. Credit notes for returned bags post against the original lot.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Product Management

    Each size is held with its compound, colour and Shore A variants, so the price list and the stock list read one item.

  • Order Management

    A distributor order of hundreds of lines is checked against bin stock line by line, and short sizes pass straight to the moulding plan.

  • Production Planning

    Missing sizes are grouped by compound and mould so a fresh mix is used up, and the plan is shown by press and platen.

  • Fixed Asset Register

    Every mould, insert and cavity plate is listed with the sizes it makes, shot history and repair dates, so wear is visible before flash appears.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Each lot keeps its cure date and compound, and the shelf period set for that compound flags it well before the bag ages out.

  • Quality Control

    Shore A, rheometer cure curve and compression set are entered for each mix and linked to every moulded lot that used it.

  • Bill of Materials

    The pack list names each seal, wiper and O-ring by size and compound, and the packer builds from it with every part ticked.

  • Barcodes and Labels

    Bag labels print size, compound, lot and cure date, and the dock scan matches them with the delivery note and certificate.

Services

How we would put it in.

Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For owners

See sizes below minimum, lots near shelf-life end, compression set failures and balances by distributor on one screen.

For sales and order desk

Take multi-line orders with stock and cure dates shown against each line. You can promise a moulding date from the real press plan, not a guess made at the counter.

For planners and moulding supervisors

Group missing sizes by compound, book presses and see which moulds and inserts make which dash sizes. Mould downtime shows up before the run is lost.

For quality staff

Enter hardness, compression set and dimension results, then hold or release a lot. Your decision is stamped with your name and the time.

For packers and dispatch

Build kits, print lot labels and issue the delivery note. A scan catches the wrong bag.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Sizes below minimum stock, by compound
  • Lots approaching shelf-life end
  • Test results by lot and compound
  • Moulding plan by press and compound
  • Mould and insert use since last repair
  • Kits built and short

Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Makers of moulded O-rings in nitrile, fluorocarbon, EPDM and silicone
  • Lip seal and oil seal manufacturers with metal cases and garter springs
  • Hydraulic seal makers with rod seals, wipers and PTFE wear rings
  • Seal makers who sell to distributors on orders with a thousand lines
  • Plants that assemble repair kits for gear pumps and hydraulic cylinders
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • A small shop that splices a few O-rings from cord can work from a size chart on the wall.
  • Gasket cutters will find Rubber Gasket Manufacturer Management Software closer, and moulders of bushes and mounts may prefer Rubber Moulding Company Management Software.
Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Size scheme and variants

Your size codes, whether AS568 dash numbers, metric or private, with compound and colour variants, are loaded from your catalogue. Duplicates are flagged for review.

Shelf-life periods

Your quality staff enter the storage period for each compound, and revisit it whenever a customer asks for a tighter limit. The list of lots near expiry follows the new number.

Tests and limits

Hardness, compression set, dimension checks and any test a customer demands, such as fluid immersion or low temperature retraction, are set up with their limits.

Stock and open orders

Distributor records, live orders, stock by size and the mould and insert list are brought in when you start, so the first moulding plan is built on real data.

Units and currency

Sizes appear in millimetres or inches as each customer orders them, and currency and tax rules follow the country of sale.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Can it warn about aged stock?

Yes, it lists lots nearing the end of their storage period. Each lot carries its cure date and the period set for its compound, so the order desk offers old stock first or scraps it.

Can a customer see the cure date on the label?

Yes, bag labels print size, compound, lot and cure date. A scan at the dock matches the label with the delivery note before the carton is sealed.

Can it hold a large size catalogue?

Yes, sizes, compounds and colours are loaded in bulk from your sheets. You then search by inside diameter, cross-section, dash number or your own code.

How are moulds with inserts recorded?

Each mould and insert is listed with the sizes it makes, cavity count, shot total and repairs. The planner groups open orders by the tool that makes them.

Can lip seals be traced to their case and spring?

The lots of metal case, garter spring and rubber lip are recorded for each assembly batch. A returned seal points back to all three suppliers.

How are kits defined?

Each kit lists its seals and O-rings by size and compound, and the packer builds it from stock. Without its wiper or back-up ring, the kit is held.

Will our current size sheets carry over?

Yes, the sheets are loaded once, then stores and moulding leads review them. Duplicates and missing compounds are flagged for your review before go-live.

Who owns the lot and test records?

You do. Exports of lot and test data come in a layout that the quotation fixes in advance, so your records stay readable elsewhere.

How is the cost worked out?

Cost rises with the staff who need logins and with the presses, mixers and assembly benches included. Sample O-ring and kit orders are shown on screen first, then the quotation gives the figure.
