Connection
Transforming the Extrusion Supply Chain
Correlation means Clarity, Collaboration, and Innovation
Correlation partners with extruders to map processes, optimize operations, and connect every department and supplier through DieLink
Reduce downtime, improve productivity, and enable smarter, data-driven decisions across the entire facility.
The extrusion industry thrives when extruders and their suppliers operate from a shared source of truth.
Mission
Correlation delivers the services and tools to:
Map and optimize your operational workflows.
Build a complete digital record of your dies, equipment, and critical processes.
Connect every department—press, die shop, maintenance, planning—and suppliers in a single collaborative platform through DieLink.

Reveal How Your Operation Really Works
We use podcast-style interviews with your employees to capture real knowledge about processes, bottlenecks, and daily challenges.
Using our RAGTAG framework, we map every recurring task by importance, time, and tools used.
The process exposes inefficiencies, gaps in process management, and weak collaboration with suppliers.
How
Most extruders rely on disconnected systems and informal knowledge sharing. By mapping the real workflow, we uncover hidden causes of extrusion defects, downtime, and productivity losses.
Clear, actionable process maps that show how work actually happens.
Visibility into gaps between departments and suppliers that lead to lost productivity and poor results.
A foundation for targeted improvements in training, equipment use, and process reliability.
Results That Matter for Extruders
DieLink
Enablement
DieLink is more than a die management tool—it’s a platform that connects production planning, press operations, maintenance, die shop activities, and supplier interactions in one system.
Connect Every Part of Your Operation
How it helps extruders
Uploading and organizing all die prints, giving you a complete digital library of tooling assets.
Curating and benchmarking the die inventory, linking every die to its usage history and performance.
Setting up maintenance and equipment condition tracking, so you know the real status of critical assets.
Structuring production planning and spare parts control in greater detail for better forecasting and scheduling.
Many extruders lack a centralized, accurate record of dies, equipment conditions, maintenance history, and production planning data. We ensure DieLink becomes your single source of truth for every operational area.
Driving Efficiency in Extrusion
Fewer extrusion failures and defects through better process visibility and equipment condition control.
Curating and benchmarking the die inventory, linking every die to its usage history and performance.
Streamlined employee training with documented workflows and best practices.
Easier, more transparent management of processes, teams, and suppliers.

Capture
From reducing defects to enhancing die longevity, our solutions empower teams to make smarter decisions, streamline processes, and drive consistent improvements across every part of the operation.
Stop wasting time and money on recurring extrusion problems. By detecting patterns behind failures and defects, you’ll finally uncover the root causes and prevent costly downtime before it happens.
Disconnected processes slow everything down. By linking equipment, tooling, and workflows, you eliminate bottlenecks, maximize output, and ensure every resource performs at its best.
Dies wear out faster without proper tracking. With structured data and complete history, you extend die lifespan, reduce replacements, and secure consistent quality in every production run.
High turnover and training gaps cost you efficiency. Clear documentation and workflows empower employees to get up to speed quickly and operate with confidence.
Lack of visibility creates confusion and delays. By making management transparent across teams and suppliers, you simplify decision-making and strengthen collaboration throughout your supply chain.
