ABB Foundry Group implemented GENESIS32 Enterprise as the HMI/SCADA platform for its eMelt foundry solution. The system connects to thermocouples, spectrometers, Modicon PLCs, and Allen-Bradley controllers via OPC on a single Windows server. Operators use GraphWorX32 for furnace visualization, AlarmWorX32 for process alarms, and TrendWorX32 for real-time trending across melting stages. The solution supports up to four furnaces with 300 I/O points and integrates with Microsoft Access for data logging.
