envIoTcast – Environmental Friendly Casting (Infosheet)

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The production of castings takes place in foundries in several individual, sequential steps: Melting, casting, heat treatment and mechanical processing. At present, however, the individual production steps in today’s foundries are largely separated from each other in terms of energy and information technology, without any overall energy optimisation. This makes complete decarbonisation much more difficult. In the project envIoTcast (Environmentally friendly casting) the modern, sustainable concept of the Green Foundry 4.0 is developed and demonstrated, which networks the different production steps both in terms of energy and information technology.
