Custom Foundry ERP Software

Manage Your Foundry from Raw Material to Dispatch

When furnace schedules, heat data, quality records and costing are managed through registers, spreadsheets and separate applications, foundries face predictable production gaps. ERPLax connects these processes as complete foundry management software.

Incorrect Raw Material Availability

Delayed furnace schedules and unclear heat-wise production status.

Inaccurate Charge Calculations

Excess work in progress and limited control over metal recovery.

High Rejection & Rework

Incomplete quality records and difficulty tracing defective castings.

Incorrect Production Costing

Delayed subcontracting operations and stock mismatches.

Machine Breakdown Delays

Poor visibility into machine utilization and order profitability.

Pattern Availability Problems

Missed production deadlines from untracked tooling condition.

Incomplete Quality Documentation

Standalone quality applications disconnected from production.

Disconnected Accounting Tools

Manual reconciliation between production and financial records.

Understanding the Platform

What Is Foundry ERP Software?

An industry-specific enterprise resource planning system used to manage the operational, production, quality, inventory, financial and administrative activities of a foundry or casting manufacturer.

Functions ERPLax Connects

  • Enquiries & quotations
  • Part masters & BOMs
  • Charge mix & furnace scheduling
  • Melt, pouring & finishing
  • Quality control & rejection
  • Costing, sales & dispatch

Configured Around Your Casting Method

ERPLax develops workflows, forms, masters, approval levels, calculations, dashboards and reports according to the company's actual casting process rather than forcing a standard sequence.

The solution can be deployed on the cloud or on-premise depending on factory infrastructure, user locations, security policies and machine integrations.

As foundry ERP software, ERPLax works as complete ERP for foundry industry businesses — covering foundry management software, casting management software, foundry production management software and general foundry ERP requirements. Whether you need investment casting ERP software, die casting ERP software or sand casting ERP software, the same platform works as iron foundry ERP software, steel foundry ERP software or aluminium foundry ERP software — built as true metal foundry management software with dedicated foundry inventory management software, foundry MRP software, casting production planning software, foundry quality control software and foundry shop-floor management software at its core.

Heat & Batch Traceability

Trace Every Casting Back to Its Heat

Heat numbers connect raw material batches, furnace details, charge quantities, chemical analysis, pouring records, production quantities, quality results, finished stock and customer dispatch. As true foundry traceability software and foundry heat tracking software, ERPLax gives authorized teams a structured heat-wise production history for investigating quality complaints and retrieving production records.

Casting Yield & Metal Recovery

Know Your Real Yield on Every Heat

Casting yield depends on charged metal, poured weight, acceptable finished weight, runner and riser return, process scrap and rejection. As complete foundry production planning software and foundry process management software, ERPLax compares estimated versus actual yield by part, heat, furnace and grade to support metal-recovery improvement.
