COMPANY production parameters stored in the RFID chips – form the interface between production, climatized storage, and the core depot at the BMW works. The production cycles and the associated data can be called up in real time using a computer or tablet, and can be compared with old data. This is the finest side of digitalization, delighting the Inacore partners and Managing Directors Udo Dinglreiter and Andreas Mössner, and spurring them on to make bold plans: “We are working with the Chair of Mathematics at the University of Passau on a multi-parameter system controlled by artificial intelligence (AI). We are right at the start here, our long-term objective, however, is that the AI learns to derive conclusions from the data and will ultimately prevent defects,” ex plains Udo Dinglreiter, and Andreas Mössner adds: “Machine and plant constructors have to take Industry 4.0 into their own hands.” Other technical possibilities such as augmented reality (i.e. the computer-supported expansion of perception) and virtual reality could one day be used for maintenance and servicing. Training of the employees began after the joint company was founded in April 2017, parallel to construction of the works in the industrial area of Ergoldsbach. Intensive training was undertaken at BMW because the personnel had no specific core shop experience at all. Laempe Mössner Sinto had already started working on digitalization in collaboration with the Pragmatic Industries start-up in January 2017. In view of the short time window until production started, the partners followed the principle of ‘learning by doing’. The declared aim was to build a core shop as a sector benchmark, and thus uncover hidden potentials. The tools for this were to be the possibilities of consistent digitalization offering transparency, networking and traceability. “It is still uncharted territory,” admits Andreas Mössner. But in addition to the technology-driven aspiration, a great deal of expertise is necessary. Scheuchl exploited its many years of experience in the construction of the works infrastructure, the air-conditioning and the project management, while Laempe used theirs for the machinery – from the core-shooting plant, through the sand mixer, to the sand conveyor system. The partners installed the necessary plants in two halls, to start with. Hall 1 accommodates production with the six Fully automated core production: industrial robots take over practically all the work steps carried out after core shooting. A finished core leaves the core-shooting machine, in front of which a robot is already waiting. core-shooting machines and the manipulators. Hall 2 has the climatized storage plant and the server, the raw material depot, and the two sand silos from the company FAT, in Niederfischbach, Germany. A third hall is being planned. IT security is essential with so much high-tech, otherwise the system would face the risk of Trojans, hacking or overloading attacks initiated by cybercriminals. The partners invested about 100,000 euros on data security for the server, and for a doubly protected security system. Regarding IT security, Udo Dinglreiter and Andreas Mössner are confident that the data is not so easy to interpret. Sustainable air-conditioning technology Climate control is the sticking point in the production of inorganic cores, and determines their durability and functional capability. The two family-run companies selected a sustainable approach: they use the waste heat from the compressors to drive the sorption rotors that regulate the temperature in the climatized room. “The cores harden in the core-shooting machine and are then put in the climatized room that is air-conditioned by the waste heat,” explains Udo Dinglreiter. In order to ensure transport from the works to the BMW depot with an air humidity of a few grams per cubic meter, Inacore works with a special for- 12
After removal, a robot deburrs the cores with this tool. External view of Inacore’s works grounds: only six months was available for construction and installation of the equipment. IT plays a decisive role at Inacore. Not only in the quality assurance taking place here. Production cycles and the associated data can be called up in real time via computer or tablet at any time.

According to partner Andreas Mössner, the decision to use sustainable climate control technology was not taken following purely economic points-ofview: “We all have children, so sustainability is the guard rail for an entrepreneurial life. Where one can control things, one does so; if it is also economical then so much the better.” 2,000 core packages per day are currently produced in Ergoldsbach, each weighing 15 kilograms. 30 tonnes of Innovative Infrared Technology
