In order to provide a field of application for the Workbench for Informationfusion the part of the complex generation of raw products is choosed. This contemplated field comprises some engineering-technical tasks, like check the casting for technical feasibility, check the casting for producibility, the predefinition of moulding and core moulding processes and scheme of allocation of sheets. Thereby a raw part is a casting after the extraction of the mould and after the cleaning shop, without core prints and without gating and risering system. The generation of raw parts depends on a lot of parameters, whereby an interrelation between the parameters is to considered. To the single processes or work steps a lot of specific databases ara available, whose data contains redundancies and inconsistencies.
Examples are databases about casting defects, design rules or physic variables and so on.
A multitude of direct and indirect cause variables must be considered. For instance the moulding and casting process, the casting shape, the complexity of the casting, the dimensions, requirements to the surface quality of casting outlines, the material and the gating and risering system. The worker, which execute the generation of raw parts, uses the mentioned connections in an iterative and interactive process. Many foundries are depend on the expert knowledge of the workers. But this is a critical handicap in the competition and so it is tried to rationalize the field of raw part generation, in order to use new technology resp.
