Plastics & Packaging Manufacturing

    AI-native ERP for plastics & packaging

    Built for volatile resin, machine-heavy lines and multi-stage production — with agents that forecast granule demand, time the resin buy and drive wastage down shift by shift.

    One system

    From roll order to dispatch, one flow

    A single order cascades through every stage — each step feeding the next, with nobody rekeying anything.

    A roll order lands

    An order for tarpaulin, film or woven sacks drops into Likwid with its GSM, colour and size spec.

    The problem

    Margins leak on every roll

    Resin prices swing weekly, machines set the pace, and unmonitored scrap quietly eats the margin. Generic ERPs never see it coming.

    01

    Volatile resin pricing

    HDPE/LDPE prices move every 3–7 days, making procurement planning a guessing game.

    02

    High machine dependency

    Extruders, looms and stitching machines — any breakdown disrupts the entire flow.

    03

    Multi-stage production

    Extrusion → lamination → weaving → cutting → stitching demands precise coordination.

    04

    High wastage

    10–30% wastage is common when scrap isn't monitored per machine and shift.

    Built for plastics

    01

    Forecasts polymer use from past production, machine efficiency and weather (tarpaulin spikes).

    Wastage analytics

    02

    Tracks scrap per machine, operator and shift for continuous improvement.

    Vendor scoring for resin

    03

    Scores suppliers on price trend and delivery-timeline consistency.

    Line-level scheduling

    04

    Keeps extrusion and loom capacity balanced without bottlenecks.

    Price-timed procurement

    05

    Multi-SKU roll tracking

    06

    Manages GSM, colour and layer variants across every roll in production.

    "We finally know our scrap by machine and shift. Likwid times the resin buy to the price trend and keeps the looms balanced — the efficiency jump paid for itself."
