Abstract
The publication describes a concept of improvement of real-time data acquisition from selected production processes, taking into consideration the specific character of a European iron foundry. The authors indicate the direction of improvement in the control of production processes, taking into account the current automatic moulding line downtimes resulting from the foundry production capacity. The main objectives were to improve the methods of data acquisition according to the original guidelines and design a new, homogeneous database with the functionality of electronic recording of a required number of parameters. The prepared data were used to define flow charts and statistical models, and further to forecast defects caused by alloy-mould contact. The scientific approach described by the authors can also be used in other foundries with a similar production profile, as a tool supporting the decision making processes regarding monitoring and control of selected production processes.
