Godrej & Boyce Introduces Smart Connected Die casting Die for Die Parameter Monitoring

Chandigarh, March 26, 2024: Godrej & Boyce, the flagship company of the Godrej Group, announced that its business Godrej Tooling unveiled the Smart Connected Die casting Die, a patented technology that revolutionizes the monitoring of real-time die parameters. This innovative solution aims to reduce breakdowns by alerting non-conformance and predicting failures in die casting production. This milestone in Indian die casting offers an indigenous solution that boosts efficiency. With a 10% increase in die life, a 10% cost reduction per piece, and fewer rejections, it signals a significant industry advancement.

Traditional die casting monitoring methods have long been constrained by their reliance solely on machine-side parameters, overlooking critical die-related factors essential for ensuring consistent part quality. Recognizing this gap, Godrej Tooling developed the Smart Connected Die casting Die. The system captures temperature and pressure parameters within the die, crucial for maintaining consistent quality. Historically, production continued with faulty parts until there were manual inspections or critical breakdowns. This new technology addresses the issue by offering real-time insights and ‘traceability’ into die performance, enabling early detection of problems, resulting in reduced downtime, enhanced efficiency, and heightened productivity for manufacturers. This innovative solution is poised to benefit a wide range of industries where consistent part quality and production efficiency are paramount. This has been built entirely indigenously, with critical parts designed to perform in challenging foundry conditions having gone through multiple iterations. It is providing an answer to the need of foundries to become Industry 4.0 enabled.

Pankaj Abhyankar, Senior Vice President & Business Head, Godrej Tooling, said, “By seamlessly integrating real-time monitoring, proactive alerts, and cloud-based accessibility, we are not just optimizing die casting processes, but rather fundamentally reshaping how manufacturers approach production. Alongside improving individual components, this will empower entire industries to embrace smarter, more adaptive methodologies that prioritize quality, reliability, and sustainability. As we continue to bridge the gap between traditional manufacturing and cutting-edge technology, the potential for transformative change across the manufacturing landscape is limitless."
