ForeCAST · physics-based green sand prediction

Tomorrow morning, your operator already knows what to add.

Per mixer. In kilograms. Calculated from your sand system, not guessed. Lab data only, no sensors, no SCADA, 15-minute setup.

Three losses, hiding in your lab data right now.

You are paying for them today. Most foundries cannot see two of them.

  • Over-addition — Your operator adds 5 extra kg of bentonite per batch to play it safe. Most of it leaves your foundry as overspend, not as castings. ForeCAST tells your operator the exact kg per mixer, calibrated to your own sand system.
  • Slow drift — LOI creeps up 0.1% per week. By the time your lab sees the drift, rejections have already started climbing. ForeCAST flags the drift on day 1, days before the first defect ships.
  • Rejections — Scabbing, mould erosion, rough surfaces. The chemistry that caused them was visible in your lab data days ago. ForeCAST connects the lab numbers to the defect risk before the casting is poured.

ForeCAST measures what your lab cannot.

What you wake up to with ForeCAST.

Four things you do not have today. Each one calculated, not pattern-matched.

  • 01 — Tomorrow’s recipe, ready before the first pour. Per mixer, in kilograms. Bentonite, coaldust, water, new sand. Calculated from your sand system, not a lookup table.
  • 02 — Drift caught 5 days before rejections. Gas risk rising, clay depletion, bond weakness. The 7-day trajectory shows where your chemistry is heading, days before any defect.
  • 03 — Learns your foundry, not a generic model. The longer you use it, the more precise it gets. Active Clay 99.58%, LOI 98.66%, GCS 99.05% after 90 days.
  • 04 — Lab data only. Nothing else. No sensors. No SCADA. No hardware procurement. No IT department. Phone or desktop. Works with the data your lab already collects.

Same lab data. Different math. Different answer.

Pattern-matching breaks when conditions change. Physics adapts to supplier, season, and equipment change. Drag the bentonite slider on the live widget and see what each approach predicts.
