Adjusting injection press parameters across a fleet based on sensor readings from attachable monitoring devices

A monitoring device comprising:

• a plurality of sensors configured to collect a plurality of sensor readings associated with a mold usable by an injection press;
• and
• a controller configured to provide the plurality of sensor readings to a first computing device, wherein the first computing device is configured to:
• determine one or more metrics associated with a state of the mold;
• provide the one or more metrics to a second computing device;
• adjust injection press parameters of a future injection molding operation across a a fleet of molds in response to the one or more metrics, wherein the fleet of molds comprises the mold usable by the injection press and a secondary mold usable by a secondary injection press;
• receive, from a secondary monitoring device comprising a secondary plurality of sensors, a secondary plurality of sensor readings associated with the secondary mold usable by the secondary injection press;
• determine one or more secondary metrics associated with the fleet of molds based on the plurality of sensor readings and the second plurality of sensor readings;
• provide, to the second computing device or a third computing device, the one or more secondary metrics;
• and
• further adjust the injection press parameters of the future injection molding operation across the fleet of molds in response to the one or more secondary metrics.
