3D Core & Mold Printing
“All of our foundries have one thing in common,” explained Shaun.
“They all run Disamatic molding lines and use Wheelabrator shot
blasting technology. Working with Norican more closely to achieve
servicing, support and costing benefits across the Group was a clear
priority. We wanted to create a strong alliance that would allow us
to get the best of everything.”
Ready for
Production
of Procurement for MAT Foundry Group, Norican was an
obvious choice.
Four years on, that alliance has proven successful and is
helping MAT Group achieve its ambitions. “Simply put”, said
Shaun “we know we are always getting the very latest in
foundry solutions, services and processes. We trust Norican to
push us forward. We want to pioneer new things and know
Norican can help us do it.
“One such ‘new thing’ we’d been thinking about more
and more, was how we could do more with our data. Get
more value from it. So when Norican approached us last year
to see if we would like to pilot one of the industry’s first multi-site
cloud-based solutions, we didn’t hesitate.”
Getting to the heart of what matters with KPIs
Norican‘s Monitizer pairs the data capture and analysis capabilities
of the on-premise Monitizer CIM (Computer Integrated
Manufacturing) platform with NoriGate technology. The
solution can pull, collate, correlate and display meaningful
data from any connected foundry machine (not just Norican
equipment) and – thanks to the Cloud – from any geographical
location, enabling site comparisons. Authorized users can
simply log into their online portal and, at the click of a button,
see a digital picture of foundry operations. But in order
to deliver optimal results, a personal approach is needed. The
end solution must reveal actionable information tailored to
each customer.
“Data for data’s sake is pointless,” said Markus Bremer,
Norican’s Senior Vice President Sales & Service Europe – West,
and manager of the MAT Foundry Group project. “It’s only
meaningful when it shows what a customer needs it to show.
So, we sat down with MAT’s senior team, site managers, production
team and engineers from Poole and Hradec, to look
at the KPIs that would have the biggest impact on operations”.
With these identified, work began on designing specific
mini systems – ‘digital cupcakes’ – that utilize Norican’s Monitizer
capabilities to create a complete solution that’s tailored
to MAT’s specific needs.
