在上个世纪，制造业对生产率、质量和盈利能力的驱动得到了相对廉价和丰富的能源的支持，而对能源和材料浪费的关注有限。然而，在过去的几十年中，在世界范围内，特别是在欧洲，已经引入了越来越严格的旨在减少污染和资源消耗的法规。因此，像铸造这样高度成熟和竞争激烈的行业正在面临挑战，而可持续发展的努力可以转化为未来的重大机遇。目前正在开发一种工具，对铸造过程中的能量和材料流动进行系统分析。概述了计算机程序架构，其输出已被验证对从铸造厂收集的真实世界的数据。
The drive of the manufacturing industry towards productivity, quality and profitability has been supported in the last century by the availability of relatively cheap and abundant energy sources with limited focus on the minimisation of energy and material waste. However, in the last decades, more and more stringent regulations aimed at reducing pollution and consumption of resources have been introduced worldwide and in particular in Europe. Consequently, a highly mature and competitive industry like foundry is expecting challenges that an endeavour towards sustainability can turn into significant opportunities for the future. A tool to undertake a systematic analysis of energy and material flows in the casting process is being developed. An overview of the computer program architecture is presented and its output has been validated against real-world data collected from foundries.
