Increase Yield and Safety in Foundries

Optimizing processes and protecting people and machines with MOBOTIX video technology

MOBOTIX thermal technology is indispensable for many monitoring applications in many industrial environments. It is not only used to protect equipment and personnel but, more than that, to improve production efficiency. This leads to a higher return on investment. Especially for foundries and their demanding environment, MOBOTIX video solutions can generate tangible benefits.

Central fields of application in the foundry:

  1. Quality Assurance (Foundry monitoring)
  2. Process and Temperature monitoring
  3. Workplace safety
  4. Access Control
  5. Perimeter Protection

Increasing quality and efficiency

Quality Assurance in die Casting and Injection Molding

Constant process and holding temperatures of molds and workpieces avoid scrap during or after producing die-cast parts. In injection molding, the correct procedure and holding temperatures in the low-temperature ranges are essential to achieve the best quality and productivity. Special cooling processes are also required. Here MOBOTIX can provide significant support for process control based on Deep Learning processes with thermal TR modules.

Practice proves it: It pays off!

Supporting processes with MOBOTIX video technology offers excellent potential for avoiding material waste, as the following practical example from an aluminum foundry (high-pressure casting for the automotive industry, processing 40 t of aluminum per day) demonstrates:

  Area   Effect of the MOBOTIX system
  Investment   5.000 €* p. camera
  Efficiency gains per month (automation, productivity, avoiding losses, etc.)   2.500 € p. camera
  Amortization time   2 months
  Efficiency gains (over 5 years)   150.000 € p. camera

 

*Typical system comprising 1 camera and software for 1 aluminum pressing unit

Security and Protection

 

Safety in the Workplace

Employee protection is essential in safety-critical areas of industrial plants. Working with hazardous substances and at high ambient and surface temperatures and liquid metals in foundries pose particular risks.  MOBOTIX offers helpful apps and solutions for this, such as fall detection or the detection of protective clothing.

Access Control

Industrial companies maintain a discreet approach to internal information and processes, so access for employees and visitors is strictly controlled. In addition, there are special safety-critical work areas to which only authorized/trained personnel may have access. With IP video door stations, individual apps, and license plate recognition for vehicles, MOBOTIX supports the security of these entrances and exits.

MOBOTIX Solution for industry & production: Security

Perimeter protection

With a lot of expensive, high-value materials and equipment, industrial plants like foundries offer an attractive attack surface. Because of their size and complexity, some sites are difficult and costly to protect. MOBOTIX systems provide a more efficient, cost-effective, and often more efficient way to provide always-on, 24/7 site security, either replacing or complementing existing solutions.

MOBOTIX 7 cameras support MQTT 

The constant dialog of specialized devices and data merging effectively automates processes and increases productivity. MQTT is the most popular protocol for integrating devices into control systems (e.g., SCADA). The cameras of the MOBOTIX 7 platform now support MQTT in addition to MODBUS/TCP. This allows you to use video systems, for example, to automate buildings and control production.

MQTT at a glance

  • Proven protocol for information exchange between IoT devices
  • An exchange between network devices via an "MQTT Broker" without direct connection of the devices to each other
  • Simple assembly - resource-saving and fast
  • Also suitable for networks with high latency, low bandwidth, or unreliable connection.
  • Encrypted transmission
  • Reliable through QoS
  • Almost unlimited possibilities for individual requirements

Example: Production of castings 

  • Thermal cameras capture every blank in production operation.
  • Automatic acquisition of thermal values, photo of the product acquisition of the applied barcode.
  • Products of inferior quality are automatically sorted out
  • Complete proof of production and quality incl. central archiving
