Consulting & transformation

Your partner for the digital foundry.

We don’t just sell software. We support foundries in analyzing their processes, developing digitalization concepts, implementing suitable solutions and developing them further over the long term.

How we work

One department or the whole foundry.

We start where it helps you most: in a single department or across several. Every project begins with a personal conversation.

  1. 01Assessment

    We listen first. Together we look at your orders, routes and bottlenecks, and at where a plan helps first.

  2. 02Concept

    We decide together with you which departments are in scope, which data comes from your ERP and which rules the plan must respect.

  3. 03Implementation

    CASCULATE is configured for your foundry and goes live in the agreed scope. We take responsibility for making it work on your shop floor and stay at your side afterwards.

Step by step

Start with planning. Grow from there.

Our first focus is deliberately on production planning, because it creates concrete benefits comparatively quickly. Building on it, we expand the digitalization of your foundry step by step.

  1. Available today

    Production planning and shop floor reporting

    • Planning from core shop to heat treatment against real capacity
    • Replanning with a preview when a machine or furnace goes down
    • Reporting at the workstation: quantities, scrap and machine faults
    • Shift plans to print
  2. During implementation

    Integration into your systems and machines

    • Connection to your ERP system
    • Molding lines, core shooters and other machines: production data and reports captured as automatically as possible
    • Crane scales, spectrometers and other equipment where needed
    • Further areas such as machining, quality and shipping
  3. Our vision

    The learning foundry

    • Production, process and quality data combined, to understand why scrap occurs and how defects can be avoided
    • Further automated production systems and robots integrated

Together this creates a consistent data basis for production control, evaluations, quality management and continuous process improvement.
