How OptiCheck improves SKZ training and consulting services
Initial situation
The SKZ faced two challenges: On the one hand, participants in training courses should be able to better understand the forces and effects involved in the injection molding process. On the other hand, they were looking for a way to analyze process weaknesses more quickly for industrial customers.
Solution
With OptiCheck, SKZ now relies on a mobile solution to display mold breathing during the injection molding process graphically and in real time. The visual clarity of the graphically displayed measurement curves facilitates the training of participants. At the same time, OptiCheck is an integral part of advising industrial customers.
"When I go to a process consultation,
the Opticheck case is an essential item."
Christoph Mussauer (Group Leader, Injection Molding Technology Center, SKZ)
The trade press confirms:
Opticheck makes the difference
Since its market launch, OptiCheck has been featured several times in the industry-relevant
trade journal “Kunststoffe” as a solution for measuring mold breathing in real time.
OptiCheck in the trade magazine
In the 10/2021 issue of “Kunststoffe,” OptiCheck is presented
as a digital solution for the visual monitoring of injection molding processes. The real‒time recording of mold breathing increases productivity and extends mold service life.

Frequently asked question
Our answers to your questions
Does the system need to be integrated into my machine control system?
No, OptiCheck operates completely independently of the machine control system. It is connected externally
and can be operated with any analog sensors.
Does the data need to be uploaded to the cloud?
No. Data collection and analysis takes place locally on the device. Your data remains with you—100% GDPR-compliant, no cloud requirement.
How many sensors can be used?
You can connect up to 8 sensors simultaneously – they can be combined as desired and adapted to your requirements.
Can we install the OptiCheck ourselves?
Yes, you can install the system yourself—or have us install it for you if you wish. It is available as a complete unit or as a kit.
Is OptiCheck also suitable for smaller tools?
Yes, the system can be used regardless of size and is flexibly adaptable—ideal for smaller tools or special applications.
What data can the system collect?
Depending on the connected sensors: e.g., pressure, temperature, displacement, wall thickness, force curves, or positions. The evaluation takes place directly in the integrated data logger.
What requirements must be met?
Only power supply and access to the tool – no special connection, no network connection required.
