PDManager® is the Real Time Manufacturing Control System to digitize, correlate, treace and neatly storage the key parameters that intervene in the manufacturing process of metallic components within a centralized Database.
Composed by diverse modules, PDManager® makes it possible to control and manage the following aspects of production:
- Preparation of metal
- Preparation of molding sands
- Process of molding, in-line stay time and demolding
- Quality control applied to production
- Control plan management
- Management and tracking of indicences
- Query of stored information
Advantages
Storage of the relevant data in a single database, settling correlations among data and making it possible an intelligente interpretation.
Monitoring of the actual situation of the manufacturing at every moment and alert generation whenever some paramater divert from acceptable ranges.
Improbement of process knowledge and control, as well as the quality of the production, thanks to the intelligent key data exploitation.
PDManager® modules
A modular system that fits your goals
Actual time, control and management of the preparation process of the metal.
Real time control and management of molding sands preparation process.
Real time management of molding process, in-line stay time and demolding of each mold produced.
Real time management of quality control process applied to production. Applications for intermediaten controls and final inspection controls are included.
Activation of the control plan (specifications, acting limits and rejection limits) and reaction plan (alerts, corrective advice or requests for further controls).
Management and folllow up of the incidences, notifications and requests of internal operations generated in the plant.
Access and query of the information stored in the central database. Applicaiton of filters, generation of graphs, exportable information for other softwares, etc.
Can I deploy PDManager® in my plant?
Get the best of your casting process
All iron foundries that store data from their manufacturing process (in any format) and believe that integrated data storage and intelligent data management can bring value to their process and their products can benefit from PDManager®.
A simple diagnostic process allows to determine:
- data sources and formats of collection and storage.
- opportunities offered by the equipment and systems of the plant to provide and emit data.
- desirable data that is not yet captured..
- Definition of the data emission, capture and storage process.
- Installation of commercial sensors in relevant equipment that do not emit data.
- Data architecture design.
