Die casting energy storage

Is die casting energy efficient?

Discussions Die casting is an energy-intensive process that has prompted energy efficiency evaluation toward achieving greener, more sustainable manufacturing processes. However, the complex production conditions require even higher real-time and dynamic performance of energy efficiency evaluation.

Can a die casting machine predict energy consumption?

Finally, the feasibility and reliability of the proposed energy consumption prediction approach are verified with the help of three die casting machines and six types of products. The results show that the prediction accuracy of production time and energy consumption reached 91.64% and 85.55%, respectively.

How effective is a die casting workshop?

To verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach, a case study of a die casting workshop was performed. The main results are as follows: 1) The OEE and energy utilization ratio of die casting units were increased by 3% and 7%, respectively; 2) Energy consumption per kilogram of die casting workshop was reduced by 7.9%.

What is Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of die casting unit?

Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of die casting unit is the main indicator used in equipment management and energy efficiency evaluation and reflects the overall efficiency of equipment as well as the proportion of time or energy available to create value.

How to reduce energy consumption in a die casting workshop?

Two approaches to minimize energy consumption in the die casting workshop were considered: 1) Management methods, such as production scheduling optimization, and logistics management, can be applied in die casting workshops; 2) Selecting more energy-efficient equipment or eliminating/improving the energy-intensive equipment. 6.4.
