Traditional Paper Registers vs. PRODEXA Digital MES

Eliminate scattered registers, missing heats, delayed dispatches, and unverified night shift entries.

FOUNDRY WORKFLOW
TRADITIONAL PAPER REGISTERS
PRODEXA DIGITAL ERP
Shift Tracking (A / B / C)
Scattered Books
Paper logs scattered across lines; night shift entries frequently delayed or unverified by metallurgists.
Real-Time Shift Sync
Real-time digital shift logs with supervisor digital sign-off and instant shift handover summaries.
Melting & Heat Traceability
Disconnected Logs
Handwritten furnace log sheets; takes hours to manually trace which heat was poured into which customer order.
100% Heat Traceability
Automated heat numbers directly linked from charge mix, pyrometer tapping, molding box to dispatch TC.
Material & Scrap Control
High Melting Leakage
End-of-month manual stock reckoning; ferro-alloy overconsumption and return scrap variances go undetected.
Heat-Wise Yield Tracking
Precise charge mix recording (scrap, pig iron, ferro alloys) to control melting cost per kilogram.
Quality & Defect Analysis
Delayed Action
Defect counts compiled on paper weekly; root-cause sand or temperature issues discovered too late.
Live Defect Pareto
Instant defect categorization (blowholes, shrinkage) with mobile photo uploads and live alerts.
Test Certificate (MTC/TC)
Manual Typing Delays
Staff manually types chemical values into Excel or Word; holds up truck dispatches and prone to typos.
5-Second Auto PDF
Instant EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificate generated directly from spectrometer & lab results with QR code.
Instant Quality Certification

Automated Test Certificate (MTC/TC) Generation

Stop manually typing test certificates in Word or Excel. PRODEXA automatically collates spectrometer chemical composition, mechanical hardness tests, heat numbers, and customer PO details into an authentic, print-ready PDF certificate.

Direct Spectrometer Chemistry Pull

Automatically inserts %C, %Si, %Mn, %P, %S, and alloy values from the heat log into the TC.

Standard Grade Tolerances & Pass Flags

Validates results against IS, ASTM, DIN, or customer specifications automatically.

QR Code Verification & PDF Printing

Generates branded PDF certificates with unique certificate IDs and verification codes for customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about implementing PRODEXA in your foundry or casting plant? Our foundry tech experts are ready to assist.

Schedule Technical Consultation

Yes. PRODEXA supports fully configurable shift timings (e.g., 2 shifts of 12 hours or 3 shifts of 8 hours) with automated shift handovers. It locks entries at shift-end and generates automatic shift summary reports for plant heads.

When a dispatch entry is recorded, PRODEXA pulls spectrometer chemical values directly from the associated melting heat log, merges mechanical test results (BHN, Tensile, Impact) from the lab register, and outputs an EN 10204 3.1 compliant PDF certificate with your company logo and digital verification QR code.

Yes. PRODEXA’s responsive web UI is designed for high-contrast, touch-friendly operation on shopfloor industrial tablets, kiosk touchscreens at the furnace/molding line, and mobile phones for quality inspectors.

All 12 digital registers—including daily production reports, shift summaries, rejection Pareto analysis, melting logs, and sand test charts—can be exported with a single click in PDF or formatted Microsoft Excel spreadsheets for ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 audit compliance.
