Metalcasting Industry Roadmap


x True control the metalcasting manufacturing process vs. anecdotal information or tests that are not direct measure of an output


x Reductions in or elimination of operator-based decisions Digital Thread Integration and Implementation


0DQXIDFWXULQJ LV EHLQJ WUDQVIRUPHG E\ GLJLWDO GHVLJQ ZKLFK UHSODFHV WKH GUDIWVPDQ¶V WDEOH ZLWK the capacity to work and create in a virtual environment. A common digital and sharable format is used to enable transfer of design, modeling, process simulation, and manufacturing data and inspection information management. This creates a digital thread that leads to improved designs and more efficient manufacturing processes to move beyond discrete manufacturing operations and integrate the information and disseminate it across broad shared networks.


Key Tasks


x Implement Smart Manufacturing and MTConnect x Integrate threads (Design-Manufacturing Process-Inspection) x Utilize Process Failure Modes Evaluation and Analysis (PFMEA) of process itself x Capture and analyze Big Data x Use better tools to take X,Y, Z data to input and compare to CAD model x Prioritize cybersecurity x Collect and analyze historical data sets x Model inspections to part performance


Target Outcomes


x Broad shared data networks x Incorporation of trend analysis, expert systems, past historical data, and probabilistic models in making process adjustments


x Improved designs and more efficient manufacturing processes via Digital Thread 27 Process
