Description

Digital Technologies in Metal Casting: Data Analytics, Simulation, Industry 4.0, and Artificial Intelligence focuses on integrating cutting-edge technology with metal casting, outlining simulation methods, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and other interactive and immersive technologies. The book starts with overviews of both metal casting and the technologies to be integrated before moving into chapters on the specific integration of those technologies into the metal casting process. The utilization of simulation, data analytics, artificial intelligence, cyber manufacturing, and more are highlighted, with each chapter covering specific use cases, commonly encountered challenges, and solutions for overcoming those challenges.

Key features

  • Outlines how to integrate simulation methods, data analytics, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and other cutting-edge technologies into the metal casting process
  • Covers the integration of these technologies into various stages of the casting process, including pattern making, mold making, melting, pouring, and more
  • Provides use cases and applications for each technology
  • Discusses automation, safety, digitalization, and the optimization of casting processes

Readership
