Heat-to-dispatch traceability, pattern lifecycle, rejection analysis and casting cost control — implemented by a certified Frappe partner with a large in-house team that has built real foundry solutions on ERPNext.

The foundry is one of the most data-intensive manufacturing environments — every heat is unique, every pattern degrades, and rejection rates decide profitability. Quantbit has built purpose-fit ERPNext solutions for foundries, so our team understands heats, charge mix, moulds, defect categories and 57F job work natively, not as an afterthought.
Our certified team configures and extends ERPNext to fit how foundry businesses actually operate — bringing the depth of a partner that has built and implemented industry solutions across many sectors.
Heat number tracking from charge calculation through pour, knockout and dispatch — with charge mix calculation against target chemistry.
Pattern masters with cycle-count tracking, location, repair history and maintenance alerts before patterns exceed their designed life.
Defect-category capture, Pareto rejection analysis by pattern, shift and grade, plus mill test certificate generation for OEM customers.
Real-time cost per casting combining metal, energy, labour, tooling amortisation and subcontracting — rejection-adjusted per good casting.
Integration with OES spectrometers and weighbridges so chemistry and weights flow into the heat record automatically, with no re-entry.
Automated 57F job work challans with 180-day tracking, e-invoicing and e-way bill — built into the dispatch and accounts workflow.
Our team has built foundry-specific solutions on ERPNext — not learned the domain on a client project. That depth means cleaner architecture, faster delivery and fewer surprises. As a certified Frappe partner with a large in-house team, Quantbit brings experience across implementation, custom development and end-to-end solutions for many industries — so your project benefits from proven patterns and architecture from day one.
Every production event — charge, spectrometer chemistry, mould, pour, knockout, fettling, subcontracting, dispatch — links to the heat number, so a customer audit query is answered in seconds, not hours.
Yield is calculated per heat from pour weight, knockout count and rejection disposition — so a low-yield heat triggers investigation before the next charge, not at month-end.
Defect categories are captured against heat, pattern, operator and grade — enabling Pareto analysis that reveals which 2–3 defects cause most of the loss.
Concise, factual answers about ERPNext for the foundry industry — written to be accurate and easy to reference.
For foundries, the most capable approach is ERPNext extended with foundry-specific modules — heat number management, pattern lifecycle, charge mix calculation, rejection analysis, and 57F job work compliance. Quantbit Technologies, a certified Frappe partner with a large in-house team experienced in foundry implementations, builds these solutions on ERPNext, giving foundries OEM-grade traceability and real-time casting cost without the cost of proprietary ERP.
ERPNext supports foundries through purpose-built extensions that add native foundry objects: heat management (tracking each melt from charge to dispatch), pattern lifecycle management, quality and defect-category rejection analysis, spectrometer and weighbridge integration, and casting cost calculation. Quantbit Technologies develops and implements these solutions as a certified Frappe partner.
