28 in tolerance, and you can focus on other issues in the process. Suppose something turns yellow to indicate an issue (which means getting close to being out of tolerance). In that case, you can quickly prevent it from turning red (which means a stoppage in production or a possible quality issue). A program could stop the casting machine when it turns red, preventing it from producing a part out of tolerance. Imagine the benefit of decreasing your scrap, increasing productivity, and eliminating quality issues. An integrated system would provide time-stamped data records, archiving critical information for future reference. Everything can tie into this data collection and display. This data, encompassing temperature set points, hydrogen checks, spectrometer data, and power and gas usage, is invaluable for maintaining operational integrity. In the foundry, data is everything, and it is especially beneficial in the melting operation. Contact: JEFF ZURFACE [email protected] CONCLUSION: Integration significantly increases efficiency and saves money by providing operators with realtime data, facilitating preemptive maintenance, and improving process oversight. Automatic data collection will be critical for future reference and will track your process and progress. Adding integration to your melting process is a multifaceted strategy that increases productivity, ensures quality, and reduces waste.
