Завод ROMI внедрил цифровую систему Sinto Omega для снижения брака и повышения гибкости производства

Less Scrap Means More Than Better Quality Another key focus of the project is dimensional accuracy and repeatability. Stable moulding conditions help reduce variations and create the basis for lower scrap rates. The economic implications are immediate. Every rejected casting that can be avoided saves not only metal, but also the energy, process time and labour already invested in its production. Reducing scrap therefore becomes a lever for improving quality, cost efficiency and resource efficiency at the same time. For a foundry with an annual capacity of around 50,000 tonnes, even relatively small improvements in scrap rates can have a significant economic impact. Flexibility Is Becoming a Key Competitive Factor The requirements of casting customers are changing. Alongside high-volume production, smaller batch sizes, greater product diversity and shorter-term production requirements are becoming increasingly important. A modern moulding system therefore needs to be not only fast, but above all flexible. The Sinto Omega solution enables ROMI to carry out rapid pattern changes, creating the conditions for efficiently combining different production orders. This allows the company to handle both larger series and highly diversified production programmes without compromising process stability or quality. This capability is likely to become even more important in the future. For many foundries, competitiveness will increasingly depend on how economically they can respond to changing customer requirements and smaller production volumes. IRIS Turns Production Data into Business Intelligence One particularly interesting aspect is the combination of mechanical automation and digital process control. With Sinto Omega’s IRIS technology, ROMI can systematically monitor relevant production parameters, identify patterns and optimise cycle performance. But this goes beyond technical parameters alone. Production data can be linked with economic information, providing greater transparency over costs per mould and ultimately per casting. This gives management a significantly stronger basis for evaluating the productivity, efficiency and economic performance of individual production processes. This is where the strategic dimension of the project becomes particularly clear: the new moulding line is more than an automated production system. It is evolving into a data-driven production platform that enables ROMI to continuously improve its processes and make more informed decisions. The Road to the Modern Foundry The ROMI Fundição project demonstrates how Sinto Omega brings these different requirements together in one integrated solution. From sand handling and automatic mould closing to digital process and cost control, the result is a continuous production environment designed to improve quality and productivity while also addressing resource efficiency and economic transparency. For ROMI, the new moulding line represents an important step towards achieving its ambitious goal. For Sinto Omega, the project also demonstrates what modern moulding technology can mean today: not an isolated machine, but a flexible, automated and digitally controlled integrated system designed for the foundry of the future.
