- Execution Model: Custom Engineering Scope
- Verification: Bench & Functional Testing
- Delivery Deliverables: Schematics, Code & Documentation
The Engineering Challenge
Harsh thermal and mechanical environments in foundry shops make manual tracking of die casting shot counts, furnace temperatures, and die life inaccurate.
The Desired Outcome
Ruggedized industrial IoT data collection delivering real-time shot rates, die life tracking, temperature logging, and unplanned stoppage analysis.
Core Technical Capabilities
Application-specific engineering focused on reliability, performance, and maintainability.
Rugged edge telemetry suited for high-temperature foundry environments
Die casting shot rate, cycle time, and lock/unlock event monitoring
Furnace and holding pot temperature telemetry integration
Die life cycle accumulation tracking with preventive maintenance alerts
Unplanned downtime recording with standardized reason codes
Shift production summaries accessible via web browser and mobile
Technical Approach
High-durability sensors or opto-isolated PLC interfaces capture shot piston signals. Telemetry is transmitted over industrial wired Ethernet or shielded Wi-Fi to avoid foundry electrical noise.
Required Customer Inputs
Die casting machine make/controller, tonnage, available signal taps, furnace thermocouple types, and die identification numbering system.
Project Deliverables
- Hardened industrial IoT gateway hardware and enclosures
- Die casting operations dashboard with live status and history
- Die tracking module recording shots per die set
- Shift production and downtime reporting automation
Scope Boundaries & Safety Safeguards
The IoT system monitors and logs parameters; it does not replace foundry safety procedures, machine hydraulic controls, or emergency stop interlocks. TC Smart Technology adheres to transparent engineering standards: solutions do not bypass machine safety interlocks, and all AI features retain human-in-the-loop governance.
