Casting technical data, patterns, cores and tooling
One technical master for castings, patterns, cores, dies and tooling, linked to production, quality and costing.
In a foundry, a casting’s technical sheet is far more than a bill of materials: it holds the alloy, moulding process, pattern and cavities, cores, rough and net weights, yield, routing and inspection requirements. When that information lives in spreadsheets or in the heads of a few engineers, every quote and every order becomes a risk.
Fond/Wise brings it all together in a single technical sheet per part, designed with foundry engineers rather than adapted from a generic ERP. Every technical value automatically feeds scheduling, quality and cost calculation.
Key features
Complete casting master
Alloy, rough and net weight, poured weight, yield, moulding type, routings, heat treatment and machining operations.
Patterns and plates
Cavities per pattern, plate type and size, plate occupation on the moulding line, gross weight, alloy, pattern yield and min/max pouring temperatures.
Cores and core boxes
Core list per casting, core-making process, weights and sand/binder consumption.
Alerts and maintenance
Warning when a pattern or core box is under maintenance or unavailable, or when the part has open non-conformities; periodic tooling maintenance.
Drawings, routings and certification
Drawing revision, routings with internal and external operations, labour and machine times, certification type (batch, job) and documents per operation.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import the technical sheets I currently keep in Excel?
Yes. During start-up, RC Informatica consultants import existing masters (parts, patterns, cores) and review them with your engineering team before go-live.
Does Fond/Wise handle customer-owned patterns?
Yes. Each pattern records ownership, physical location and condition, so you always know which stored tooling belongs to which customer.
