8:15 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. Industry 4.0 and the Foundry of Tomorrow Imed Bourega, Shell-O-Matic, Booth 213 Digital transformation is the process of using digital
technologies to create new or modify existing business processes, culture, organization and customer experiences to meet changing business and market requirements. One important note about digital transformation is that it’s enabled by technology, the business improvement comes from how that technology is enabling people or a workforce to create more value than they ever could before. Although digital technologies have existed for a long time, they have primarily been used to help manufacturers automate and optimize their core production processes. What different today is that new digital technologies are enabling the same sort of improvements across the enterprise in other operations area: like reliability, safety, energy, …etc. When we talk about Industry 4.0 and digital
transformation, they mean different things to different people and very often people use these terms interchangeably while they are different along with other buzz words like: Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML). The purpose of this paper is to demystify Industry
4.0 and digital transformation and bring more clarity on the meaning of each of them. Clarify some preconceived ideas about digital transformation preventing some

manufacturers to move on adopting new technologies and the main reasons why they fail while implementing their digital transformation strategy. This section addresses the point of 'What is Digital' transformation. Then the paper addresses the point of why it’s
important and vital to digitally transform the companies now and the benefits they will get by doing such change in their operations. Finally, the presentation addresses the how such implementation can be conducted for both big and small organization.
9:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Intercoat Drying and Shell Characteristics for the Investment Casting Industry N. Vigneswaran, SAN Precision Alloys Private Limited An essential phase in the process of creating an
investment casting shell is Intercoat drying. It has been demonstrated that the amount of water removed after each layer of the shell has a significant impact on the mould’s qualities. Unfortunately, we are unsure of the precise amount of water that has to be evacuated. Additionally, we lack a trustworthy way to link the measurement of dryness to the quantity of water still present in the mould. Intercoat dry time can have an influence on casting quality and shell throughput. Underdrying can cause dewax cracking or metal leakage at the casting, whilst over-drying can significantly reduce the output of the shell chamber. The ideal dry time will provide the best moulds in the shortest period of time. On how much water has to be evaporated during drying, there is significant debate. The drying process must go on for at least long enough for the binder to begin to gel; otherwise, the coating will flake off when it is re-dipped. In order to determine the link between the degree of dryness, mould characteristics, and the dryness measuring technique, this study was undertaken.
