Customer’s request

  • Eliminate problems caused by poorly identified casting molds
  • Use barcode identification which will survive multiple heat cycles
  • Scan to verify mold identification at each process

Initial Process Management

Visual inspection of stamp marking to confirm identification

Process Issues

  • Mold identification errors occur because of poor marking methods
  • Mold identification degrades after multiple processes leading to identification errors
  • Production issues occur because of misidentified molds

HEATPROOF Solution

1Provide heat resistant identification which can survive multiple cycles
2Introduce a barcoding system which will allow molds to be verified by scanners
3Provide mold identification which will survive outdoor exposure.
4Eliminate the misidentification of molds caused by human error
5Improve the mold tracking system through the production process
