Die Casting

At the heart of quality die castings is the tooling and die cast machine, and all the quality and business processes supporting them. Odyssey helps die casters monitor tooling cycles down to the cavity level and provides notifications when thresholds are exceeded. Scheduling and tracking actual die cast machine maintenance. Managing post casting operations of parts, including internal and out sourced machining, painting, anodizing, etc. is an integrated part of the Odyssey ERP system for die casters.

  • Odyssey offers an integrated die tracking system. Total shots are kept on each die and review limits can be set. Dies which have exceeded review limits are flagged for inspection. Plus, family and combination dies are fully supported.
  • Odyssey allows for both metal and energy surcharges to be applied at order entry or invoicing for each customer.
  • Odyssey supports product price adjustments based on metal market.
  • The Odyssey metal recipe system defines the composition of the metal grade, both alloy cost and requirements. Compare your standard metal usage against your actual metal usage.
  • Odyssey software stores both the chemical and physical characteristics of each heat. Certifications can be printed either on demand or at time of shipment.

What people are saying

"Prior to Odyssey we used spreadsheets to schedule and track production. Our information was disjointed and not real-time. Using the Odyssey Scheduling and Inventory module we get an immediate report of the shop floor at any time of day. We now better understand the effects of scrap and other critical factors to our bottom line."
Bob Boldt, Director of Production Control Empire Die Casting Company, Incorporated
