Film Manufacturing ERP
Increase profitability in your blown and cast film operation with Film Manufacturing Samadhan ERP on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Streamline our workflow and reduce waste
Film Manufacturing Samadhan ERP offers a tailored solution to help you minimize waste and maximize efficiency in your blown and cast film manufacturing process. By focusing on deckle optimization and automated calculations, our ERP system ensures you get the most out of your materials and machinery.
Powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365
Our specialized Film Manufacturing ERP is more than just a software platform; it is an industry-specific accelerator built on the robust foundation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This strategic integration offers manufacturers the best of both worlds: the global stability, enterprise-grade security, and cloud scalability of the Microsoft ecosystem, combined with Samadhan’s decades of deep domain expertise in the flexible packaging and plastic extrusion sectors.
Precision Formulation & Recipe Management
Whether your production line is running mono-layer films, complex multi-layer barrier films, or specialized BOPP/CPP sheets, managing the Bill of Materials (BOM) is operationally critical. Our system delivers granular control over complex formulation management, ensuring that every gram of resin mix, additive, and masterbatch is tracked with precision. This real-time visibility into actual resin consumption versus theoretical output helps you pinpoint exactly where yield loss is occurring—whether during initial machine setup, product changeovers, or due to excessive edge trimming.
Automated Deckle Optimization
In film extrusion, aligning customer order widths with your machine’s die width is a complex challenge that directly impacts profitability. Poor planning results in significant trim waste and lost revenue. Our solution addresses this
with advanced Deckle Matching logic, which automatically calculates and suggests the optimal combination of customer orders to run simultaneously. This eliminates guesswork, ensuring your extruder runs at maximum capacity with minimal scrap generation.
End-to-End Traceability & Quality Control
From raw material procurement to finished goods dispatch, the system provides complete lifecycle management. By tracking unique Roll IDs alongside critical parameters like GSM and micron thickness, Samadhan ERP backed by Microsoft ensures 100% traceability. This level of detail is essential for manufacturers exporting to international markets, where adherence to stringent compliance standards and quality audits is mandatory.

FAQs
Everything you need to know about ERP solutions for Film Manufacturing industry
How does this ERP help reduce resin wastage during the extrusion process?
Resin costs constitute the bulk of your operational expense. Our system compares the “Standard” recipe against “Actual” consumption in real-time. It tracks scrap generated at startup, during changeovers, and from edge trims, allowing you to identify machine or operator inefficiencies immediately.
Can the system handle the complexities of multi-layer blown film (3-layer, 5-layer, etc.)?
Yes. The solution is built to handle complex Bills of Materials (BOMs). You can define specific ratios for each layer (inner, middle, outer) and the system will auto-calculate the required raw materials based on the production order quantity.
Why should we choose a Microsoft Dynamics 365 solution over a generic ERP?
Generic ERPs often require heavy customization to understand “rolls” or “microns.” Dynamics 365 provides a robust, scalable foundation (finance, sales, supply chain), while Samadhan adds the specific layer needed for film manufacturing. Plus, it integrates seamlessly with Outlook, Excel, and Power BI.
How does the "Deckle Optimization" feature actually work?
If you have multiple orders for different widths (e.g., 200mm, 400mm, 350mm) and a machine die width of 1200mm, the system mathematically calculates the best combination of these orders to fill the 1200mm width, ensuring the least amount of side trim waste.
We face issues with GSM variation and Quality Control. Can the ERP help?
Yes. The Quality Control module allows you to record GSM, thickness, and tensile strength readings against every specific Roll ID. If a roll fails quality parameters, the system can block it from being dispatched to the customer or sent to the printing department.
Does the system support lot traceability for export compliance?
Absolutely. We offer full bi-directional traceability. You can scan a finished roll barcode and trace it back to the specific batch of resin supplier, date of extrusion, and machine operator. This is critical for food-grade packaging compliance in India and abroad.
Can we track the machine downtime and the maintenance schedules?
Yes. You can log downtime reasons (e.g., die cleaning, heater failure, power outage) directly into the system. This helps in calculating the true OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) of your extruders.
We export to multiple countries. Does the system handle multi-currency and GST/VAT?
Since it is built on Microsoft Business Central, the system natively handles multi-currency transactions, export documentation, and specific tax localizations for India (GST), the Middle East, Africa, and other global markets.
Is this solution suitable for downstream processes like Slitting and Rewinding?
Yes. The ERP covers the entire conversion process. It tracks the “Parent Roll” from the extruder as it moves to the slitter, tracking the “Child Rolls” produced and the trim waste generated during the slitting process.
Can we access Microsoft Dynamics 365 production data from mobile devices?
Yes. Microsoft Dynamics 365 is cloud-based and mobile-ready. Plant managers can view production status, approve purchase orders, or check inventory levels from their smartphones or tablets, whether they are on the shop floor or traveling.
