Optimizing processes and protecting people and machines with MOBOTIX video technology
MOBOTIX thermal technology is indispensable for many monitoring applications in many industrial environments. It is not only used to protect equipment and personnel but, more than that, to improve production efficiency. This leads to a higher return on investment. Especially for foundries and their demanding environment, MOBOTIX video solutions can generate tangible benefits.
Central fields of application in the foundry:
- Quality Assurance (Foundry monitoring)
- Process and Temperature monitoring
- Workplace safety
- Access Control
- Perimeter Protection

The importance of video technology to improving foundry processes and operations

Increasing quality and efficiency
Quality Assurance in die Casting and Injection Molding
Constant process and holding temperatures of molds and workpieces avoid scrap during or after producing die-cast parts. In injection molding, the correct procedure and holding temperatures in the low-temperature ranges are essential to achieve the best quality and productivity. Special cooling processes are also required. Here MOBOTIX can provide significant support for process control based on Deep Learning processes with thermal TR modules.
Practice proves it: It pays off!
Supporting processes with MOBOTIX video technology offers excellent potential for avoiding material waste, as the following practical example from an aluminum foundry (high-pressure casting for the automotive industry, processing 40 t of aluminum per day) demonstrates:
Area | Effect of the MOBOTIX system | ||
Investment | 5.000 €* p. camera | ||
Efficiency gains per month (automation, productivity, avoiding losses, etc.) | 2.500 € p. camera | ||
Amortization time | 2 months | ||
Efficiency gains (over 5 years) | 150.000 € p. camera |
*Typical system comprising 1 camera and software for 1 aluminum pressing unit
