The team would design and engineer a core room that would manufacture sand cores for use in our molding and casting production process. Currently, the core room shares space with our floor molding line and we would like to separate them into two spaces, providing more room for core making and a more efficient workflow. This new room would need to connect to the next stage of the manufacturing process; we would like the team to design this connection. Some considerations will be how this core-making interacts with and connects to other steps; we'd like to have it designed so that it may also be ready to connect with manufacturing methods that we may add in the future. In addition to overall productivity and efficiency, we'd like the team to consider sustainable materials and practices wherever possible.
