Foundry

Foundries have unique challenges that require unique software. Scheduling and coordinating core production, melt deck capacity and molding demands to customer requirements is a tough balancing act. Pattern inspection prior to releasing to production. Tracking casting inventory send to outside suppliers for processing. These are all business processes that the Odyssey ERP system addresses, as well as a myriad of others unique to the foundry industry.

• Odyssey software stores both the chemical and physical characteristics of each heat. Certifications can be printed either on demand or at time of shipment.
• The Odyssey metal recipe system defines the composition of the metal grade, both alloy cost and requirements. Compare your standard metal usage against your actual metal usage.
• Odyssey offers an integrated pattern tracking system. Total impressions are kept on each pattern and review limits can be set. Patterns which have exceeded review limits are flagged for inspection. Family and combination patterns are fully supported.
• Odyssey allows for both metal and energy surcharges to be applied at order entry or invoicing for each customer.
