How can flexible manufacturing adapt to the demand for multi-category die casting? Modular technology provides the answer.

Faced with market demands for “multiple varieties and small batch sizes,” modular integration has emerged as a new direction in die-casting automation. A certain enterprise has developed a die-casting island system ranging from 650T to 16,000T, which achieves rapid switching among functions such as part removal, spraying, and inspection through the flexible combination of 12 standard modules. After adopting this solution, a certain new-energy vehicle manufacturer reduced its motor housing production line’s changeover time from 8 hours to just 1.5 hours, while boosting equipment utilization to over 90%. It is reported that such modular systems can cut retrofitting costs by 15% and shorten installation periods by 40%, and are now widely suited to production needs across multiple sectors, including automotive and 5G electronics.

Die Casting Automation Operation and Maintenance Guide: The Three Key Factors for Reducing Equipment Failure Rates

The stable operation of automated equipment hinges on scientific operations and maintenance. A “predictive maintenance solution” launched by specialized manufacturers leverages IoT systems to collect vibration and temperature data from equipment such as robots and die-casting machines, and uses AI algorithms to proactively warn of potential failure risks. After implementation by a hardware enterprise, the downtime caused by equipment failures was reduced from 12 hours per month to just 2 hours. Moreover, the establishment of a standardized spare parts library and a remote diagnostic system has enabled the average repair time to be kept within 4 hours, ensuring efficient operation of the production line.

Data-Driven Die-Casting Plants: How MES Systems Break Down Management Barriers

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are becoming the “central nervous system” of smart die-casting factories. One company, by deploying an MES system, has achieved digitalization across the entire process—including planning management, equipment management, and quality management. The system collects key parameters such as pressure and temperature from die-casting machines in real time and generates visual dashboards, boosting workshop response speed by 50% and raising order delivery accuracy to 99%. Industry experts emphasize that seamless integration of MES with systems like SAP and WMS is crucial for achieving synergy across “design, manufacturing, and management.”
