Imagine a factory pouring molten metal into molds, shaping the parts that power our world - car engines, valves, and more. This fiery alchemy is the foundry industry. While the process is fascinating, keeping track of it all can be a nightmare considering the evolving customer demands. While the foundry industry is expected to grow to $229.96 billion in 2028 from $189.69 billion in 2024, the challenges are aplenty, especially with limited digitization and automation.
Like a digital wizard, ERP for foundries swoops in to organize the chaos. It tracks every step, giving foundries real-time data on costs and efficiency. No more guessing games!
With ERP, foundries get:
- X-ray vision of where each part is in production.
- Crystal ball to predict costs and optimize pricing.
- Eagle eyes to spot improvement areas, reduce waste, and boost efficiency.
In short, streamlining foundry operations can lead the path from fiery confusion to a well-oiled machine, ready to meet the evolving demands of the modern world.
Here are some of the ways ERP for foundries creates an impact:
Sales and Planning:
One of the most time-consuming and complicated processes is sales and planning. For instance, in the final week of a month, the sales team would have around 2500+ schedules with a capacity of around 8000 metric tons/annum. Feeding all these data into the system would need more than two resources and an entire day.
