Track and Control Stamping Operations in Real Time From Wherever You Are
IRMCO Advanced Metalforming Lubricant Technologies’ iNSIGHT enables metal stampers to track the rate of chemical consumption by part and process and compare the data to tool life to pinpoint the actual cost per part for each process in a facility.

IRMCO Advanced Metalforming Lubricant Technologies’ iNSIGHT enables metal stampers to track the rate of chemical consumption by part and process and compare the data to tool life to pinpoint the actual cost per part for each process in a facility.
To facilitate lean manufacturing and process control, IRMCO iNSIGHT from IRMCO Advanced Metalforming Lubricant Technologies (Evanston, IL) provides real-time remote access to press downtime, lubricant consumption and concentration control. iNSIGHT enables metal stampers to:
- Track press down time and consistency of stamping lubricant consumption, and get alerts on production stops.
- Track and record the volume of lubricant solution actually consumed for any part, on any press, at any time.
- Monitor lubricant concentration control in real time and get alerts when concentration or mixing changes.
- Track and record changes in process settings or variables from one shift to another in real time.
- Track production processes remotely, providing uninterrupted data when COVID-19 quarantining affects employees availability.
- Pinpoint actual lubricant cost per part, allowing for the greatest degree process optimization and improving forecasting contract bidding.
