Hitachi Industry and Control Solutions, Ltd. (“Hitachi
Industry and Control”) announced that it will begin sales of “ADSTEFAN Ver. 2016”, a casting simulation
system*1, in the Republic of India(“India”) on March 15, 2016.
“ADSTEFAN Ver. 2016” was released in Japan on February 1, 2016. Hitachi Industry & Control is aiming to secure sales of 50 licenses
per year in the Indian market.
“ADSTEFAN” is a simulation tool that enables users
in the front lines of casting production in the molding materials industry to
predict casting defects before they occur. It can simulate the inflow of molten
metal into casting molds as well as the hardening process, both of which have
been treated like a "black box" so far, and displays those processes
in 3D. This makes it possible to reduce the number of casting prototypes, cut
down on development time, and improve quality, thereby to demonstrate results
in terms of reductions in both costs and the resources consumed.
Hitachi Industry &
Control originally
released “ADSTEFAN” in Japan in 1999, and since then has made improvements of
product functions based on requests for enhancements from user companies and
the results of joint research with universities and partner companies, offering
upgraded versions each year. In 2007, it released “ADSTEFAN” for the first time
in India, when a sales agency contract was completed with the ProSIM RnD
Center, an Indian subsidiary, and is now working to strengthen and enhance the
sales and service structure in collaboration with partner companies. By
“ADSTEFANVer.2016”, Hitachi Industry &
Control will contribute
to the development of the manufacturing industry in India.
Mitsuo Takayama,
President - Hitachi Industry & Control Solutions, Ltd., said:
By offering the
“ADSTEFAN” simulation system, Hitachi Industry & Control has contributed to improving quality and reducing man-hours in
the front lines of casting production in the Japanese molding materials
industry. Now, we are extremely pleased and proud to be able to offer the
system “ADSTEFAN Ver.2016” in India.
