Digital FIFO and Ageing Control for Rough Castings

FIFO is not consistently followed for rough castings, creating the possibility of older stock remaining unused while newer castings are consumed first. This reduces inventory visibility and may contribute to excess ageing, identification difficulty and material-flow inefficiency. The challenge is to develop a digital FIFO control system that identifies casting batches, tracks receipt and issue sequence, highlights ageing stock and prevents or warns against out-of-sequence consumption.

Digital Machine Manual, Drawing and Spare Identification System

Machine manuals, electrical drawings and spare-part information are not always available through a single easily searchable source, making troubleshooting and spare identification slower. The challenge is to develop a digital machine knowledge system that organizes manuals and drawings and enables maintenance personnel to identify required spares, including through image-based search or drawing linkage where feasible.

Real-Time Critical Spare Inventory and Availability Monitoring

Critical spare availability needs continuous visibility to avoid prolonged machine downtime when failures occur. Inventory records that are not updated in real time can create uncertainty regarding available quantity, location and replenishment requirement. The challenge is to develop a live critical-spares monitoring system that tracks stock movement, minimum levels and replenishment status and generates alerts before stock reaches a critical condition.
