ODIN offers complete plant engineering for MEGA/GIGA foundries.
Planning the correct MEGA foundry will save costly delays, flow changes, and running costs.

A GIGA/MEGA foundry is not as simple as scaling a smaller cell to a larger size, since part weight, foundations, logistics flow, and media supply do not change linearly. Correctly planning the energy supply and heat recovery leads to shorter cycle times and less energy consumption. Alone, primary energy usage yearly savings of +2 million euros per casting cell, which is fully realistic. In addition, improved energy efficiency will lead to shorter cycle times, better OEE, and thus even less installed capacity to meet yearly customer demand.

Correct logistics flow reduces manpower, working capital, and lead times to the end user. Doing layouts in 3D rather than 2D uses all available m3 in the shops, reducing initial investment and secondary energy costs such as heating and cooling the machining shop.

Correct layouts and planning lead to smooth approvals for buildings and the environment.
Bonus savings from correct layouts include fewer spare parts and better manpower planning.
