For us, sustainability does not end at the factory gate, which is why we carry out regular supplier audits <\/b>and expect compliance with agreed sustainability criteria<\/b> and customer-specific certification requirements.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Digitalization as a driver of sustainability<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
The degree of digitization has already been partially implemented \u2013 with clear strategic development. Every component is digitized and can be viewed directly at the workstation using the “hg.visutec”<\/b> software tool developed especially for us. This leads to greater production reliability and therefore makes a decisive contribution to more sustainable production. <\/p>\n
We simulate new castings as early as the development phase. This allows us to reduce the weight and the amount of input materials such as risers and ceramic inserts. We also check whether additional sand cores can be dispensed with and loose parts used instead. <\/p>\n
One planned project is the optimization of the cooling pump control at the melting furnace \u2013 with the aim of achieving additional energy savings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
