Defect control and remelting in foundry production

scrap is reported in aggregate and is not linked to charge, batch, regime, and cause.

← Back to solutions

Sector

C24.5 casting of metals.

INDICATIVE NACE CODE

Process

charge preparation → melting and casting → knockout and finishing → inspection → scrap separation → internal remelting.

Problem

scrap is reported in aggregate and is not linked to charge, batch, regime, and cause.

What the solution includes

protected defect cameras; category scales; furnace data; charge–batch–casting identity; QMS protocols; material balance in ERP.

What changes

fewer scrapped castings and a controlled share of remelted metal.

How the result is measured

What we measure
kg scrap / 100 kg good castings
Baseline
weight records by batch
Target
AFTER DIAGNOSTICafter root-cause analysis
Evidence
scales, batch log, and QMS result.

Business effect

less primary metal and earlier removal of defect causes.

Component parts

Physical assets

ДМА — cameras, scales and any new production equipment needed

Software and integration

ДНА — defect analysis and traceability.

Indicative investment

The concrete value is set per client after technical design and current quotations.

Who does what

PixelAutomate

EvroPixel builds the digital material balance and defect analysis.

Required partners

machine-vision integrator and foundry technologist.

What to keep in mind

dust and temperature around cameras; reliable separation of defect causes; remelting must be part of the real process.

Link to a funding programme

There is no open funding programme linked to this solution. When a new procedure opens, we check its conditions against your company and project.

Scope and clarifications

The intended result is verified with data from your process rather than assumed in advance. For a funded project, your SME is the beneficiary. PixelAutomate is the brand under which we work. The contracting company is identified in the quotation, contract, and invoice.
