MatruOS for a ferrous foundry
Set up the way a ferrous foundry runs: price per kg of good castings by grade (FG 200 to FG 260, SG 400/15 to SG 600/3) and weight band; pattern development charges; machining and painting extra. Routines, workflows, registers, licences and an AI team that knows the work are ready when you sign up.

What this solves
What a ferrous foundry deals with today, and what MatruOS sets up for it
Today
Rejections found after machining at the customer bring full debit plus machining cost. Pig iron and scrap swing but per-kg rates stay fixed for months.
In MatruOS
MatruOS sets up 11 routines, 1 workflow, 3 registers and 11 licences for a ferrous foundry, with an AI team that reads your own records and prepares the work.
What changes
The right person is reminded at the right time, approvals wait for whoever decides, and every licence has a renewal reminder. Anything that sends, pays, signs, files or deletes waits for a person's approval.
