The industry has been slow to transform digitally, so it still largely relies on manual production recipes with little to no optimization. As a result, Tvarit estimates that the industry loses €160 billion annually due to yield loss and the equivalent loss of energy required to produce that waste.
SOLUTION
Tvarit utilizes AI models for prescriptive quality and energy to significantly reduce energy consumption and increase yield in metal casting operations. With over 160…
