PS-010 Theme: Quality 4.0, Metrology & Inspection Automation

Integrated Digital Sand Quality Management and Rejection Analytics System

Problem Overview

Routine sand parameters are tested hourly and chemical parameters shift-wise across D1, D2, D3 and D4 lines. Results and corresponding graphs are currently recorded manually, making historical retrieval, comparison, trend identification and rejection analysis difficult. The challenge is to digitize the existing sand testing format so entered values are automatically compared with specifications, classified as OK/Not OK, graphed online, stored historically and linked to rejection analysis.

Industrial Context & Background

Foundry Quality / Industry 4.0 / Data Analytics

Technical Requirements

1) Follow existing sand-testing record format
2) Support D1-D4 lines
3) Hourly and shift-wise parameters
4) Configurable specifications
5) Search, filters and export
6) Secure audit trail

Suggested Technology Stack: Web/Tablet Application; Database; SPC; Analytics Dashboard; BI Tools

Expected Solution & Prototype

1) Digital sand test entry
2) Automatic specification comparison and OK/Not OK status
3) Online graphs and trends
4) Historical data and reports
5) Sand-related rejection/customer complaint analysis
6) Digital IATF documentation
