Material lots, tools, ovens and clean packing on one silicone job record.
Silicone orders, liquid silicone kits and gum stock lots with shelf life, tools and cavities, press runs, first-off approvals, post-cure ovens, deflashing, inspection and bagging sit in one system. Each part lot carries its kit, cavity and oven load, so a question from a food, medical or electronics buyer has a recorded answer. Planners, press operators and inspectors share one job.
- Part list, tools and cavity layouts entered from your own drawings and toolroom cards
- Open orders and material lots migrated into the new system
- Label formats matched to the ones your buyers already receive on cartons
Silicone moulders run orders, kit and gum stock lots, tool and cavity counts, first-off approvals, post-cure ovens and bagging from one GullySystem build. Every part lot keeps its kit, tool, cavity, Shore reading and oven load. Labels and delivery notes print from that record, and expiry warnings reach the planner.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Order and drawing
The order is entered with part number, drawing revision, Shore A hardness, colour and lot size, and special packing instructions are attached so the packing bench reads them later.
- 2
Material and tool
The planner reserves a kit or gum stock lot that is still in date, picks the tool and books a press, and cavity condition is checked before the booking is confirmed. Short-dated stock goes first.
- 3
First-off
The operator sets platen temperature and cure time, moulds a first piece and records hardness and colour. The press run is released only when that piece passes the limits set for the part.
- 4
Moulding run
Shots are counted by tool and cavity, and short fills, tears and trapped air are logged against the cavity that made them. A worn cavity is blocked without stopping the tool.
- 5
Trim and post-cure
Parts are trimmed or deflashed, loaded on trays by lot and cured in an oven, and the load is closed after its hold time with every tray listed inside it.
- 6
Inspection and pack
Inspectors count defects by cause at the bench. Passed parts are bagged, labelled and boxed, and the delivery note closes the order with lot numbers copied from the record.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
Kits, gum stock and masterbatch lots are numbered on receipt, and each part lot points back to the material it was moulded from, expiry included.
- Production Planning
Orders are booked onto presses by tool and cure time, with the next free slot shown on the board after a tool change or mould clean.
- Quality Control
A press run is held until the first piece passes the Shore A and colour check set for that part, and the sample is referenced.
- Fixed Asset Register
Each tool is an asset with its cavities, shot totals, cleans and repairs, so maintenance follows usage on the press and not a calendar guess.
- Work Order Management
A load is opened for each oven cycle and closed with its hold time, listing every tray and part lot inside that cycle.
- Bill of Materials
A part lists its silicone grade, colour masterbatch, preform weight and bag material, so planners see every need before they book a press for the job.
- Sales Returns and Credit Notes
A returned carton is logged with its lot, the fault and the outcome, then linked to the kit lot and oven load involved in making it.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For owners
Open one screen for live presses, rejects per mould tool, platinum cure kits close to expiry and the amount billed to each customer. No one has to walk to the moulding hall for a shift count.
For planners
Match orders to presses, tools and material lots, and watch which tool is due for a clean before its next booking is confirmed by the foreman.
For press operators
Open a run, enter first-off results and count shots, then close the run at the press, where a tablet sits beside the platen and nothing is written on a scrap of paper.
For inspectors and the lab bench
At the bench, key in Shore readings, colour checks and defects by cavity, then pass the lot or put it on hold. Retained samples are referenced.
For the packing area
Print labels, bag by lot and close cartons against the delivery note. Counts are checked before the tape goes on.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Orders by part, press and promised date
- Shots and rejects by tool and cavity
- Kit and gum stock lots by expiry date
- Post-cure loads with the part lots inside each
- Tears, short fills and flash by part number
- Retained first-off samples by lot
- Customer returns by kit lot and oven load
Who this is built for.
- Moulders of liquid silicone parts such as seals, gaskets, valves and keypads
- Compression and transfer moulders working with solid high-consistency gum stock, peroxide or platinum cured
- Makers of silicone tubing and extruded profiles for food, dairy and medical lines
- Contract moulders supplying food, medical or electronic buyers
- Moulders with a post-cure oven and a trimming or deflashing bench in the same building
When it is not the right choice.
- A shop that casts a few hand-made silicone moulds for craft pieces can keep records in a simple notebook.
- Plants making mainly rubber hose or conveyor belting will find Rubber Hose Manufacturer Management Software or Conveyor Belt Manufacturer Management Software closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Can it warn about kits close to expiry?
Yes. Each material lot carries an expiry date, and the planner sees the nearest dates first when booking a press. A lot too old for the order is flagged.
How are shot counts entered?
The operator enters shots at the end of a run, or after each shift on a long run. Press counters are not read by the software unless we scope that as separate work.
Can one tool with many cavities be tracked?
Yes. Each cavity has its own count, reject log and block status, so a worn cavity can be taken out of use without stopping the tool or losing its history.
Does it record the post-cure oven?
Yes. A load lists the trays and part lots inside, with temperature and hold time. The oven’s own chart reference is saved but not read from the machine.
Can a buyer ask for hardness records?
Yes, hardness and colour readings from first-off and spot checks are stored against the run, and a report by part lot can be printed or emailed to the buyer.
How are cryogenic deflashing and hand trimming handled?
The trimming step records the method, quantities in and out, and rejects by cause, though it does not control the cryogenic deflasher or any other machine on the floor.
Can food and medical customers get lot data?
Yes. Lot labels and records are produced in the layout agreed with each customer, while the rules behind them are set with your own quality staff.
What if a part needs a new drawing revision?
A new revision becomes active for new runs, while runs already in progress keep the revision they started with. The record shows both.
How is the price arrived at?
Price follows the presses, the users and how many inspection steps you want captured. You see a trial on your own moulded parts first. Only then do we put a figure on paper.
Can records leave the system?
Yes. Part lots, oven loads and inspection records can be written to a file, and you pick its layout early on.
