Foundry 4.0 and Visi-Trak
By connecting machines, work pieces and systems, businesses are creating intelligent networks along the entire value chain that can control each other autonomously.
PLC Interface
Our PLC interface via Ethernet easily communicates with many industrial communication protocols including OPC DA, OPC UA, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, etc.
predictive Maintenance
This platform gives die casters the ability to implement Foundry 4.0 while providing them with real-time, actionable data so they can take countermeasures to maximize OEE.
Automation
Automation is improved by the introduction of self-optimization, self-configuration, self-diagnosis, cognition and intelligent support of workers in their increasingly complex work.
Smart Die Casting
The Visi-Trak HMI Product Platform of products along with our Plantwide Process Monitoring System gives die casters a competitive edge with easy-to-use tools that empower you to make data-driven decisions that optimize your die casting process.
