Start with AI that pays for itself in months, not years.
Low‑risk AI automations for die‑casting plants that tackle RFQs, maintenance admin, scrap, and OEE first—where implementation is simple and ROI is obvious.
From spreadsheets to savings in 3 steps.
Discover (Week 1)
Short workshop to map RFQ, reporting, maintenance, and documentation workflows. We collect real files so nothing is theoretical.
Design & Prototype (Weeks 2–4)
We build 1–2 low‑friction automations around your current tools, then let your team test them alongside existing processes.
Deploy & Scale (Weeks 5–8)
We move the pilot into production, track hours saved and downtime avoided, then use data for deeper scrap projects.
Quick-Win Use Cases
Turn RFQs from bottleneck into advantage.
Pain: RFQs arrive with drawings and spreadsheets. People manually log, rename, and fill forms.
Automation: Auto-capture fields from emails, create ERP records, and route to the right engineer.
Impact:
- 500 RFQs/year × 45 min admin → 300 hours/year.
- Saves ≈10–12k €/year.
- Faster win-rate without new headcount.
Never lose track of which die or machine is due.
Pain: Cycle counts hide in MES exports. Dies run too long or come out too early.
Automation: Pull machine hours automatically, update boards, and generate weekly maintenance lists.
Impact:
- Planner time cut by 70% (≈7–11k €).
- Avoid 1-2 major unplanned stoppages.
- Save an extra **10–20k € per event**.
Kill spreadsheet time, not improvement time.
Pain: Engineers spend hours building scrap reports from exports. Shift is over before reports are ready.
Automation: Auto-build dashboards. Ask questions in plain language: "Top 5 tools by scrap this month?"
Impact:
- Frees 300–450 engineer‑hours/year (≈**15–22k €**).
- Time goes into trials that actually move scrap and OEE.
Let AI draft the paperwork your experts hate.
Pain: PPAPs, control plans, 8D responses—experts copy data between systems instead of solving problems.
Automation: Auto‑draft PPAP sections and control plans using real data for expert review.
Impact:
- Reduce repetitive documentation by 60% (≈**3–6k €**).
- Faster, cleaner responses for OEM audits.
Use the same data for bigger wins.
Scrap & OEE Optimization
AI finds patterns in machine parameters, die IDs, and alloys to suggest parameter windows and actions per line.
Numbers that matter:
- Reducing 8% scrap to 5% saves ≈300k €/year (on 10M € revenue).
- 20–50% scrap reductions reported on specific lines.
Predictive Maintenance
Foremost when dies, shot ends, and hydraulics are likely to fail using sensor and alarm history.
Numbers that matter:
- 30% cut in unplanned downtime recovers ≈144k €/year.
- Total potential: ≈208k €/year, payback in 5–6 months.
Deep Dive Successes
High‑Mix RFQ Bottleneck
Overloaded team, 5‑day response average. AI intake + co-pilot implemented.
Scrap Reduction via Patterns
7% scrap on critical parts. Reporting co-pilot + pattern analysis built.
Predictive Maintenance Pilot
Frequent unplanned stops. Pilot on 3 critical machines with failure tracking.
Trusted by Industry Experts
"First AI partner who understood tonnage, alloys, and PPAPs before opening a spreadsheet. Our first win was just RFQ intake, but it freed so much time."
"Within weeks, we had more visibility than years of Excel. That alone freed roughly one engineer‑day per week and helped justify a scrap‑reduction project."
"The predictive maintenance pilot paid for itself with a single avoided breakdown. We see risk building up days in advance on expensive lines."
You're not a test lab. You want results.
10+ years in casting
Experience on the shop floor means you don't have to explain basics like die life or CBAM.
Low‑risk start
First projects are back‑office and reporting automations, not risky control‑loop changes.
ROI‑first framing
Every proposal includes simple math: "If we reduce X by Y%, you save Z €/year."
Tool‑agnostic
We work with your ERP, MES, Excel, and existing sensors. No rips and replaces.
In 30 days, know exactly where AI pays off in your plant.
The "3 AI Quick Wins in 30 Days" package
Workshop
Map your RFQ, maintenance, reporting, and paperwork flows in 3 hours.
Roadmap
Get 3 quick‑win automations with effort, data needs, and estimated € impact.
Pilot Plan
4–8 week implementation scope with clear success metrics and ROI tracking.
Soft guarantee: If we can't find at least one automation with realistic 5–10× annual ROI, you don't move forward. No hard feelings, no invoice.
