Phase 1
Spectrometer & ERP Ingestion
System Topology: Foundry Heat Chemistry vs Vulcan Agent Layer
Comparative Operating ArchitectureStatus Quo: Manual Lab Sample Routing
45 min delay per melt1
Physical Sample Coin Cast & Carried
Floor operator pours sample coin and manually walks it to the QA testing lab.
2
Manual Spectrometer Re-Typing
Lab technician reads OES spectrometry output and manually writes values into ledger.
3
Delayed Ladle Inoculation
Furnace held at 1,480°C waiting for lab approval, consuming excess electrical power.
Vulcan-Cast Operating Layer (Sellatica Architecture)
< 30 sec automated loop1
Autonomous Spectrometer RS-232 Ingest
Vulcan captures raw carbon equivalent, silicon, and magnesium percentages via serial edge pipe.
2
