SANDMAN® is a pioneering cloud-based, software-as-a-service (SaaS), predictive, and prescriptive data analytics solution for optimizing foundry green sand system. Using its proprietary SANDMIX alogorithm, SANDMAN® facilitates variable, "dose-by-need" dosing of additives rather than relying on fixed dosing across casting patterns/jobs.
Powered by machine learning, SANDMAN® leverages data analytics to eliminate the need for experiential fixed sand conditioning and enable precise control of the system sand through a system-driven decision support. This minimizes casting rejection due to over dosing or under dosing of additives while obviating the need to alter man, material, or machine.
SANDMAN® is patented in India, USA, Europe, China, Brazil, Korea and Japan. Its multivariate analysis correlates green sand properties with casting defects, offering predictive and prescriptive recommendations for process control of system sand properties and additives. As the world's first of its kind software, designed for Iron foundries, SANDMAN® sets the bar for optimized foundry green sand management through advanced machine learning driven data analytics.
