When the metal is hot, every second of data counts.
Foundries and fabrication facilities operate at the intersection of extreme heat, tight tolerances, and unforgiving physics. A missed temperature excursion is a bad heat. A bad heat is scrap, rework, and liability. We built the instrumentation so those moments get caught, not discovered.
High-temperature manufacturing has no margin for monitoring gaps.
Most foundries and fabrication shops run with instrumentation that was designed for a world where data collection happened at the end of a shift, not in real time. Process deviations are discovered during inspection — after the bad parts are already made.
Safety incidents in these environments happen fast. Thermal runaway, fume accumulation, and molten metal hazards require detection at the second level, not the minute level. Manual rounds cannot provide that coverage.
We bring real-time instrumentation to the production floor without requiring a full-scale system replacement. Our sensors integrate with existing equipment, and the platform normalizes data from disparate sources into a unified operational and compliance record.
From furnace to finished part — complete process visibility.
ACSS foundry and fab deployments cover the full production cycle: furnace operations, pouring and casting, heat treatment, inspection, and shipping. Every stage is instrumented, every deviation is logged, and every quality gate is traceable to the raw data that drove it.
Native support for industrial temperature sensors, pyrometers, gas analyzers, and proximity sensors without custom middleware.
Bidirectional data exchange with major MES platforms. Quality gate status and sensor data flow in both directions.
PPAP, NADCAP, and customer-specific quality documentation generated from live process data with zero manual transcription.
Yield goes up. Incidents go down. Documentation handles itself.
Yield Protection
Catch process deviations before they become scrap. Real-time monitoring of thermal profiles, pour conditions, and mold integrity means quality issues are addressed at the source, not discovered at inspection.
Safety Enforcement
Thermal runaway detection, molten metal proximity alerts, and fume monitoring give your safety team the data to act before incidents occur. Automated interlock integration with existing safety systems.
Process Traceability
Complete digital records of every heat, every pour, and every quality gate — tied to lot numbers and traceable to raw material inputs. Customer and regulatory documentation generated automatically.
Production floor to operator dashboard.
Continuous thermocouple and pyrometer data from furnace to pour, correlated against process specifications. Deviations flagged to the floor operator in real time with recommended corrective action.
Automated hold and release at configured quality gates based on sensor data and operator sign-off. Reject disposition tracked through rework and scrapping workflows with root cause logging.
Continuous ambient air monitoring across the production floor with zone-level alerting. Ventilation system integration triggers automated response before OSHA thresholds are reached.
Precision Casting Quality Program
A specialty casting operation serving aerospace customers deployed ACSS across their induction furnace and investment casting lines. Real-time thermal monitoring flagged two previously undetected process deviations in the first month, preventing scrap on high-value aerospace casting orders and strengthening their NADCAP audit posture.
