Metalcasting Industry Roadmap Smart Machines and Manufacturing
The integration of network-based solutions to collect data, manage that information, make critical decisions, and adopt and control processes to improve quality and efficiency will transform the metalcasting industry. Smart Manufacturing (SM) is integrating network-based data and information that comprises the real-time understanding, reasoning, planning and management of all aspects of a manufacturing and supply chain enterprise. SM is facilitated through the use of advanced sensor-based data analytics, modeling, and simulation in real-time. In SM, all information is available when it is needed, where it is needed, and in the form it is most useful -infusing manufacturing intelligence throughout the lifecycle of design, engineering, planning, and production.
Key Tasks
x Complete part traceability (charge-pour-ship) x Machine / process Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and performance x Implement in-process controls to reflect actual manufacturing performance x Improve and implement sensors / smart machines x Control die-thermals in High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) x Optimize variables when they change x Develop and define the various process inputs in metalcasting processes x Eliminate manual tweak and operator interface in process
Target Outcomes
x Manufacturing and inspection data tied to individual castings (born-on-date) x Improved casting quality, process performance, efficiency, and cost x Efficient manufacturing operations that can complete on the global stage x In-process control tests and measurement approaches in real-time x Enhanced products that incorporate multiple parts and materials x Improved sensing and monitoring technology x Effective and efficient die thermal management x Movement from reactive to proactive and optimization of the process
