INNOVATION AT THE SERVICE OF THE FOUNDRY INDUSTRY: AUTOMATING FOR GROWTH
For years, core production at Furesa relied on the experience and expertise of its operators. While the process proved effective, it increasingly faced the challenges of a market demanding higher productivity, greater repeatability, and improved efficiency.
Looking ahead, the Basque cooperative decided it was time to take the next step. The objective was not to replace its way of working, but to enhance it by introducing automation where it could deliver real value, while preserving the flexibility that characterises a medium-sized foundry.
To achieve this, Furesa trusted Loramendi and implemented the SE 55L Universal Core Shooter. This versatile solution transformed a highly manual process into a safer, more efficient, and more automated operation, fully aligned with the foundry’s production requirements.
What happened after taking this step? The results were quickly evident:
- Greater production consistency and efficiency.
- Improved ergonomics and safer working conditions for operators.
- Reduced manual effort and optimised cycle times.
- An automation solution tailored to the needs of medium-sized foundries.
With the right technology and an approach adapted to the specific requirements of each foundry, it is possible to move towards smarter, more competitive, and more sustainable production processes.
The collaboration between Furesa and Loramendi demonstrates how applied innovation can become a powerful driver of competitiveness, helping foundries prepare for the challenges of the future.
