Problem
Foundries face complex production processes that are difficult to plan and control, leading to bottlenecks, inefficient resource allocation, and delayed response times. Sales teams struggle with lengthy and opaque cost calculations, as data is scattered across CAD files and cost sheets, making it hard to provide customers with quick and accurate quotes.
Solution
CASCULATE provides a flexible software ecosystem of AI-powered solutions tailored to the foundry industry. Its production planning module optimizes plate allocation and enables real-time rescheduling to prevent bottlenecks, while its Instant Pricing tool automates cost breakdowns based on part geometries, linking CAD data with material and process costs to deliver results in seconds. The company also offers IT consulting and custom software modules for interface integration and tailored systems, ensuring solutions adapt to each foundry's specific workflows and requirements.
