# Molds & Thermocouple

> Mold Health tracking, the Molds Manager (add, install, edit, delete), and thermocouple temperature monitoring with alerts.

These tools live on each machine's detail page. They track tooling life, let authorized users change the installed mold, and monitor temperature alongside production.

***

## Mold Health

**Mold Health** is a table of every mold on the machine.

![IndustrialPMR mold health table](https://mintcdn.com/kunji-soft-technologies/Z3lxTECHchNjgmBJ/images/Mold-health.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Z3lxTECHchNjgmBJ\&q=85\&s=1d65e5d5e5fe4f219aca3b0fcadc1a76)

| Column | Description |
| :- | :- |
| **Name** | Mold name |
| **Life (shots)** | Configured mold life |
| **Consumed** | Shots consumed so far, with a progress ring |
| **Last Used** | When the mold last ran |
| **Status** | Health status (below) |

The table can be **searched** and **sorted** by Name, Life, Consumed, Status, or Last Used, ascending or descending.

| Status | Rule |
| :- | :- |
| HEALTHY | Under 90% of mold life consumed |
| WARNING | 90% or more consumed |
| CRITICAL | 100% or more consumed |

**Reset** sets consumed shots back to zero after a confirmation and clears the related alert.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Mold life warnings and "mold life exceeded" errors also appear in the [notification bell](https://docs.industrialpmr.com/dashboard/access-navigation.md#notification-bell).

## Molds Manager

The Molds Manager has two tabs: **Install** and **Add**.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Installing a mold sends a command to the machine's controller. This requires the account owner, an Editor, or a master admin. Others receive "Permission Denied".

### Add a Mold

![IndustrialPMR Molds Manager](https://mintcdn.com/kunji-soft-technologies/Z3lxTECHchNjgmBJ/images/Manager-mold2.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Z3lxTECHchNjgmBJ\&q=85\&s=203120882d0d1ebe59ef350261333a7a)

Enter:

* Mold name
* Mold life (shots)
* Number of cavities
* Product name and product color
* One or more materials, entered **by weight** or **by piece count**

Tick **Universal mold** to make the mold available to every machine. Universal molds can be reported on together; see [Reports](https://docs.industrialpmr.com/dashboard/reports.md#universal-mold-report).

### Install a Mold

![IndustrialPMR Molds Manager](https://mintcdn.com/kunji-soft-technologies/Z3lxTECHchNjgmBJ/images/Manager-mold.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Z3lxTECHchNjgmBJ\&q=85\&s=f290cb7c444b26b606b64e5e09bda063)

1. Pick a mold.
2. Choose **Install Immediately**, or schedule a date and time.

Installing sends the mold to the machine's controller and marks it **installed**. The previously installed mold is marked **uninstalled**.

* Molds **missing cavities, product details, or materials are rejected**.
* The running mold can be **uninstalled**.

### Managing a Selected Mold

For a selected mold you can also:

* Edit the **mold life**
* Set the **alert threshold (%)**
* Reset the **average consumption**
* Reset the **average cycle time**
* Open **Edit Mold** to change details (the mold name is fixed and cannot be changed)
* **Delete Mold**, only when it is not installed

## Thermocouple Card

![IndustrialPMR Thermocouple Card](https://mintcdn.com/kunji-soft-technologies/Z3lxTECHchNjgmBJ/images/thermocouple.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Z3lxTECHchNjgmBJ\&q=85\&s=ca4c97b81496921b526d80479b6034f4)

The Thermocouple card on the machine page shows the **live temperature in °C** with a status badge.

| Badge | Meaning |
| :- | :- |
| **Normal** | Temperature is within the configured limits. |
| **ALERT: HIGH TEMP** | Temperature is above the max limit. |
| **ALERT: LOW TEMP** | Temperature is below the min limit. |
| **Offline** | The sensor is not reporting. |

### Settings

* Sensor **display name**
* Optional **max limit** and **min limit** alerts
* The **device categories** to notify

The card lists the configured limits and the recent activity.

### Alert History

An alert history records each event as **Active** or **Resolved**. The history can be cleared.
