Amount determining using molding system sensor

Abstract

There is set forth herein in one embodiment a method performed on a computer comprising a processor, the method comprising receiving, via the processor, output of one or more sensor located on a mold of a molding system. The method can further include determining, via the processor, an invoice amount based on the output of one or more sensor. The method can further include generating, via the processor, an invoice based on the determining.

1 . A method performed on a computer comprising a processor, the method comprising:
 receiving, via the processor, output of one or more sensor located on a mold of a molding system;   determining, via the processor, an invoice amount based on the output of one or more sensor; and   generating, via the processor, an invoice based on the determining.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the receiving comprises receiving, via the processor, from a database. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the receiving comprises receiving, via the processor, from the one or more sensor. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the determining comprises determining the invoice amount based on a number of wet cycles measured by the one or more sensor. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the determining comprises excluding a number of dry cycles measured by the one or more sensor. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the output comprises raw output of the one or more sensor. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising sending, via the processor, the invoice to a customer. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7  wherein the sending comprises sending, via the processor, an electronic mail to the customer. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the determining comprises determining which component in the molding system performed a cycle.
