This article explores the synergy between Poka-Yokes and traceability technologies to optimize product quality and reduce scrap in iron foundries, environments characterized by high process variability. We will address how the implementation of error-proofing devices (Poka-Yokes) in critical processes, such as melting, metal treatment, and pouring, minimizes defect occurrence. Concomitantly, traceability technologies (RFID, IoT, MES), exemplified by SinterCast's Ladle Tracker system (SinterCast, [s.d.]) and DISAGROUP's DISA TAG solution (DISAGROUP, [s.d.]), and monitoring with infrared cameras like OPTRIS (OPTRIS, [s.d.]), ensure continuous identification and monitoring of parts and their parameters, from melting to demolding. The aim is to demonstrate how this integrated approach not only prevents failures through automatic blocking but also allows precise root cause analysis of non-conformities, resulting in significant gains in productivity and quality.
