South African Metal Casting Conference March 2017

Held at the Emperor’s Palace in Johannesburg, the venues were well staged and attended by a wide section of the Foundry world. Max, the South African Partner/Agent for SYNCHRO ERP was in attendance with Jean-Marie Darchicourt , SYNCHRO ERP’s Partnership/Agent Liaison Manager. We had a wonderfully designed booth and were on hand to answer any questions from prospective Customers or simply curious visitors seeing our Software for the first time.
We received a lot of positive feedback about SYNCHRO ERP products during the conference and we will be following up on these over the coming weeks.
Overall the mood during the events was good and positive with Foundries looking forward to a challenging yet exciting future. Interestingly training and skills for foundries took centre stage during presentations and workshops at the conference.
We are most grateful for a well-staged great event and we also thank Mr John Davies’s team in making us all feel so welcome and well looked after. John has decided to take a well-earned rest and pass on his responsibilities to a new Chairman so we wish him a long and happy retirement and his successor all the very best for the future.
Many thanks from the SYNCHRO ERP Team

Thoughts on Golf
Golf is a game I have played most of my life. I have been lucky enough to play courses in England, Scotland and Ireland. I have ventured to Le Touquet in France and the Algarve in Portugal
I learned to play in East Africa where Hippo’s from the lake left their footprints on fairways and greens and these were considered natural hazards.

Bite Size - Tooling Module
"Are you finding it increasingly difficult to control your tools/patterns?"
Tooling within the software refers to patterns, mold boxes, fixtures, calibration instruments, as well as tooling dies. A huge benefit of having metalcasting specific software is that it knows what a tool truly is and how it is used in the operations.
The importance of tooling within the scope of metalcasting operations cannot be over emphasized.
In order to have a quality casting to ship, it is paramount that the process starts out with exceptional tooling.
