Increasing Efficiency of Foundry Production by Digitizing Production Data

Original language description

Die casting continues to play an important role in producing key automobile components such as engine blocks, transmission housings and new parts related to electromobility. Die casting is the main production technology for aluminium alloys. Due to the nature of the foundry process, the operation of the foundry consumes a lot of energy. To achieve a high degree of production efficiency, it is therefore increasingly important to monitor energy consumption and possible leakages of operating fluids, which can cause high losses. Thanks to the development of digitalization and trends such as Industry 4.0, it is now possible to effectively monitor individual production machines. The data collected from production machines can then be used to analyse operational data and monitor production trends and production stability. It is also necessary to compare the results with the expected consumption values according to the actual production and possibly also with changes in climatic conditions, thus the usage of effective consumption management. The paper presents the foundry operation and the production process of castings at Škoda Auto. The main benefits of using digitalization into the foundry operation are presented. Furthermore, the possibilities of using data to increase the efficiency of foundry production are mentioned. Production data can also be used to accurately identify individual products and thus for retrospective analysis of products concerning the level of quality achieved. Thanks to the precise monitoring of the foundry's operation in a real-time digital environment, potential problems can be detected early and solved very quickly and efficiently.
