How It Works — 10-Step Cycle
1Mold loaded on conveyor at entry station
2Conveyor indexes mold under AutoPour nozzle
3Laser sensors confirm left/right beam break
4Vision camera verifies mold cavity is centred
5Stopper rod lifts — controlled pour begins
6Fill-level sensor monitors stream continuity
7AI predicts fill completion 200ms before event
8Stopper rod lowers — pour stops precisely
9Vision confirms complete fill, no overflow
10Conveyor advances; next mold queued
System Architecture
01
Vision Layer
High-speed cameras capture real-time mold position at 120fps with sub-millimeter calibration.
02
Control Layer
PLC/PIC embedded controllers execute stopper rod adjustment commands within 80ms of detection.
03
AI Engine
LSTM neural network predicts fill-completion events 200ms ahead, enabling pre-emptive action.
04
Analytics Layer
Every pour event logged to time-series database with cycle metrics, anomaly flags, and OEE impact.
Key Capabilities
⚡
Adaptive Timing
Auto-adjusts pour duration per mold geometry. No manual re-programming between product variants.
🔴
Laser Alignment
Dual red-laser beam confirms mold centre within ±1mm before every pour cycle.
📷
Vision Confirmation
Frame-difference algorithm detects mold arrival and departure in under 12ms.
📊
Live HUD
Operator dashboard shows queue, current phase, stopper state and per-cycle quality score.
📍
Auto-Advance
Conveyor interlock: next mold only allowed once fill-complete + safe-clear both confirmed.
📦
ERP Integration
REST API push to SAP / custom MES after every batch. Zero manual data entry.
