Sand, investment, lost foam, die or centrifugal casting, or a steel melt shop: ICAST is foundry management software configured around the way your plant actually casts, the metals you pour and the industries you supply.
From pattern to knockout, ICAST tracks every mould. Each mould links to its heat, so a blowhole found in the machine shop traces back to the sand batch, the core and the pour.
Investment foundries lose money in the wax room and shell line before a single heat is poured. ICAST records every pattern, tree and shell so rejection is caught where it starts.
Lost foam plants run on pattern quality. ICAST tracks foam pattern production, clustering and moulding, and ties each casting back to its pattern batch and heat.
Die-casting margins depend on die life and scrap. ICAST keeps every die's history, alerts you before a die is due for repair, and shows rejection by part, die and shift.
Pipes, cylinder liners, bushes, rings and rolls are cast in a spinning mould, and customers expect full traceability on every piece. ICAST ties each casting to its heat, chemistry and test results, so any pipe or liner can be traced back to its melt.
For steel plants and ingot producers, the melt shop is the business. ICAST logs every heat with power, chemistry and lining life, and Meltix corrects chemistry before the tap.
How ICAST fits your casting process, the metals you pour and the size of your plant.

ICAST is used as an ERP for sand casting, investment casting, lost foam casting, gravity and pressure die casting, centrifugal casting, steel castings, steel melt shops and ingot manufacturing. One system is configured for your process, and the Plans page can be filtered by sand, investment or die casting to show which modules apply.
Yes. Every casting links to its heat, chemistry and test results. In a sand foundry, a blowhole found in the machine shop traces back to the sand batch, the core and the pour; in lost foam, to the pattern batch.
ICAST keeps a die master and die cards with images, monitors die life, alerts you before a die is due for repair, and logs every issue, return and repair. Rejection is shown by part, die and shift.
Yes. For investment casting, ICAST records wax patterns, tree building, shell coats and dewaxing, and captures rejection at the pattern, tree and cavity stage, before a heat is poured.
Yes. Heat treatment cycles are kept with time–temperature charts, NDT results (MPT, DPT, UT and RT) are recorded against the casting, and inspection certificates are built from the same data.
Yes. The melt-shop modules log every heat with a detailed heat sheet, power per heat and furnace and ladle lining life. Chemistry correction before the tap comes from Meltix, sold separately.
Cast iron, SG iron, steel, aluminium and copper alloys. SG iron foundries record nodularity and microstructure with each heat; copper alloy foundries see melt loss in item-wise costing.
Yes. A single ICAST system can run several casting processes and metals, and multi-plant or multi-company setups are available as add-ons.
Yes. ICAST covers your machining processes and gives machine shop reports: OEE, tool and consumable consumption, and operator-wise output and rejection. Machining is part of ICAST Enterprise, or can be added as a single module to a smaller plan.
Yes. Each assembly gets its own bill of materials, and assemblies are produced, stocked and sold as separate items. If a customer rejects an assembly, you take it back, dismantle it in ICAST, and return the good and rejected components to stock separately.
Yes. ICAST Lite is built to replace Excel and paper logs on the shop floor, and plans start from ₹12,000 per month. You can add modules as you grow.
