PROPRIETARY PROCESS MONITORING

SMARTMATIC™ — See What's Happening in Every Cold Box Cycle.

Your machine may be running, but small variations in blowing pressure, gassing conditions and cycle time can still affect core quality and production costs.

SMARTMATIC™ is Automatic Foundry Solutions' proprietary process monitoring and control technology, designed to give foundries greater visibility into their Cold Box operations.

With cycle-by-cycle monitoring, process traceability and engineering expertise, your team can investigate deviations, make more informed adjustments and work toward more consistent production.

Automatic SMARTMATIC industrial process monitoring control panel
01

Monitor Critical Variables

Track cycle times, pressure readings, blowing and gassing parameters, and machine status through an intuitive interface.

02

Identify Process Deviations

Use monitoring data, deviation alerts and recorded process information to investigate variations that may compromise core quality.

03

Improve Consistency Through Engineering

Combine process monitoring with Automatic's engineering expertise to refine production settings, improve repeatability and pursue reductions in scrap and operating costs.

Stop guessing where your losses come from. Start understanding your process.

How we deliver results

Three pillars behind every project

Simulation before manufacturing

MAGMA® partnership — we validate tooling and process before any machine goes into operation.

Cycle-by-cycle monitoring

SMARTMATIC™ — data from every shot, with full traceability and real-time deviation detection.

End-to-end technical support

From diagnosis to after-sales. Integrated engineering supports your operation throughout its entire life cycle.

About the company

About Automatic Foundry Solutions

Integrated engineering for foundries that need more than machines: they need a controlled process, reliable data and real reduction in cost and scrap.

We build 100% electromechanical machines for the Cold Box process, with cycle-by-cycle monitoring (SMARTMATIC™) and upfront simulation in official partnership with MAGMA®.

We work from tooling design to after-sales support — a technical alternative to the traditional Cold Box process, where the process is a black box.
