Obiettivo
The European foundry business is a traditional less RTD intensive industry which is dominated by SMEs and which forms a significant part of Europe's manufacturing industry. The efficient design and manufacturing of cast components and corresponding tooling will be a crucial success factor for the companies in the future.
The project aims at collecting and processing of information and knowledge around the design, planning and manufacturing of cast components. This includes the knowledge on new materials, processes and equipment for the manufacture of castings. In contrast to other manufacturing sectors the foundry business has not yet implemented e-manufacturing technology on a large scale such as Decision support software, Computer Aided Process Planning and networking. The project intends to overcome this drawback through a systematic development of IT solutions based on the collected information and knowledge. Smart Foundry makes an inte- grated approach combining material sciences, production technologies and IT. Beside the software tools an overall knowledge database will serve multiple companies in optimizing their processes and will allow the sharing of equipment between companies when it comes to new processes and expensive machinery. The integrated approach is achieved through the quality of the partnership.
Four RTD performers covering all aspects of materials, casting processes and information technology will develop solutions on behalf of Industrial associations from Spain, France, the UK and Germany. These associations represent the sectors of tool making and foundry business in the different EU member states. The link to industry is given through a core group of ten SMEs from four different countries.
