Implementation of unmanned die-casting lines: From “dark factory” production to full-cycle traceability

The unmanned die-casting line developed by a certain enterprise has achieved full-process automation—from metal liquid molding to laser cutting. By seamlessly integrating six-axis robots with die-casting machines and inspection equipment, this production line enables 24-hour continuous operation. Its production capacity is three times higher than that of traditional lines, and the defect rate has dropped by 90%. Even more noteworthy is that, combined with a WMS and IoT system, the product lifecycle—from raw materials to finished goods—can be fully traced, completely meeting the quality control requirements of the automotive industry.

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.”
