Indofen Furnaces LLP has taken a major step in digitalizing its operations by integrating Siemens’ Industrial Edge solution, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, into its aluminum recycling and foundry systems. This move is set to redefine operational transparency, sustainability, and scalability in India’s metal processing sector.
The deployment of Siemens Performance Insight allows real-time monitoring of furnace data—such as metal charging, fuel usage, and temperature—helping users optimize fuel consumption, reduce unplanned downtime, and maintain consistent product quality. With this, Indofen is empowering its customers to make faster, data-driven decisions while aligning with stringent environmental and safety standards.
“Performance Insight offers customers a full view of furnace performance through real-time data, enabling smarter decisions and operational control,” said Ezhil Kumar, Managing Director, Indofen.
Backed by scalable IoT capabilities, the solution creates a model for efficient adoption of edge computing in industrial settings. It provides predictive alerts, energy-efficiency insights, and enhanced reporting—all packaged for modular scale-up without compromising output.
“This collaboration reflects how Siemens Xcelerator is unlocking the potential of India’s SMEs, helping them become future-ready through intelligent digital solutions,” noted Suprakash Chaudhuri, Head of Digital Industries, Siemens India.
For aluminum recycling and die casting sectors that grapple with high fuel intensity, process variability, and strict compliance requirements, Indofen’s tech-driven strategy offers a roadmap to greener operations and better profitability.
