Domestic foundries are challenged to improve their bottom line to ensure an ability to meet baseline/surge demand for cast parts. Accelerated integration of new technologies like integrated sensors, autonomous robots, additive manufacturing, augmented reality, simulation/digital twin models and large real-time dataset analysis is allowing casting companies to continue to meet demand. Consolidating industry-wide data gathered during DLA project outreach activities has provided information on condition of Industry 4.0 technology best practices/lessons learned implementation. Value is obtained by applying these lessons learned in each business, and additional value is gained by viewing the industry as a whole in driving focus towards improving supply chain availability and agility.
