digital solutions
Kunststofftechnik Borgmann GmbH, based in Bersenbrück, impressively demonstrates the combination of traditional manufacturing with advanced technological solutions. The company operates in three production halls with 42 injection molding machines, featuring a clamping force range from 28 to 1,000 tons, to produce high-quality plastic components for the automotive and furniture industries. Under the technical leadership of Stefan Borgmann, Borgmann GmbH implements innovative digital solutions from ENGEL to further optimize the efficiency and quality of its injection molding processes. This forward-thinking approach strengthens the company's position as a skilled and reliable processor in the plastics industry.
Digital solutions in action: Applications and advantages at Borgmann
The use of digital products in injection molding production increases production efficiency. Above all, they help machine operators to set injection molding parameters correctly. This avoids errors in production and produces higher quality plastic parts.
Borgmann GmbH relies on a combination of various digital solutions from ENGEL:
iQ process observer for smart process data analysis
iQ weight control to compensate for fluctuations in plastic viscosity
iQ clamp control for calculating and optimizing the clamping force
iQ flow control for energy-saving mold temperature control in injection molding
e-connect.monitor for condition monitoring of wearing parts and to prevent machine downtimes
ENGEL EDGE Device for a secure network connection and centralized data processing in production 4.0
In the following video, Stefan Borgmann reveals how Borgmann GmbH benefits from utilizing digital products in production. Discover the benefits and how easy it is to introduce digital solutions in plastics processing.

How iQ process observer saves 30 minutes per machine every day
Dimensional accuracy is required for the production of technically challenging plastic parts. Process stability in production is a basic requirement. Therefore, the iQ process observer software plays a key role at Borgmann.
The iQ process observer provides machine operators with a fast and clear tool to analyze and optimize injection molding processes. Several hundred parameters are automatically recorded and analyzed using the software. The results of the process data analysis, as well as AI-supported suggestions for improvement, are displayed transparently on the control system. The iQ process observer differs from conventional analysis tools due to its unique combination of AI and expert knowledge. This eliminates the need for the machine operator to conduct a lengthy and time-consuming troubleshooting process.

The biggest advantage of the iQ process observer is definitely its clear process overview and speed. When I approach the machine, a single touch on the control unit is all it takes, and within a second, I can see exactly what’s happening in the process.
At Borgmann, thanks to the iQ process observer, the internal effort required for process error analysis and quality inspections has been reduced by 30 minutes per day and per machine. In times of skilled labor shortages, increased cost pressure and tight delivery schedules, this is a decisive advantage - especially for small and medium-sized companies in contract injection molding. It frees up resources that can be used for other essential tasks.
This video gives you practical insights into the application and functionality of the iQ process observer in Borgmann’s injection molding production.

> Temperature control solutions from ENGEL save energy
A stable temperature control process in injection molding is crucial for consistently high product quality. Borgmann relies on the iQ flow control software, the e-flomo water distribution system and the e-temp temperature control unit. Together, these systems provide the machine operator with a comprehensive overview of each temperature control circuit in the mold and ensure constant temperature control. iQ flow control independently regulates the flow rate in each temperature control circuit and the speed of the temperature control units to the required minimum.
At Borgmann, the use of these intelligent products has resulted in more precise temperature control processes and a more stable production. Temperature control output was reduced by 70%, leading to lower error rates and reduced maintenance effort.
Watch the video below to see how ENGEL's temperature control solutions work in real-time operation and the benefits they bring to Borgmann.

> Conclusion: Has the use of digital solutions in injection molding production at Borgmann paid off?
The answer is: Yes! Borgmann GmbH has achieved significant advantages through the implementation of digital solutions in injection molding production:
Thanks to ENGEL products such as iQ process observer, iQ weight control and iQ clamp control, production efficiency has been increased and the quality of the plastic parts has improved.
For example, the iQ process observer has reduced the internal effort needed for process errors analysis by 30 minutes per day and per machine.
In addition, temperature control solutions from ENGEL contribute to energy savings.
These successes clearly demonstrate that the use and intelligent combination of digital solutions at Borgmann have been well worth it.
