ERP for foundry & casting manufacturers in Chennai
Foundry margins are made and lost at the melt and the reject bin. Elite Tech traces every casting to its melt and heat, holds metallurgy and pouring data, and pins rejection to a cause so foundry yield and cost stop hiding in averages.
One platform, built on the tools auto-component manufacturers already trust, Zoho Advanced Partner + custom development on AWS

Melt traceability, metallurgy, rejection analysis and machining routing.
Melt & Heat Traceability
Each casting tied to its melt, heat, chemistry and pouring record.
Melt traceMetallurgy & Spec

Rejection controlCasting + Machining
Fettling, heat-treat and machining routed and costed after the pour.
RoutingGST e-Invoice & e-Way

KPI cockpitFoundry cost, controlled at the melt
A foundry that cannot see rejection by cause is guessing at its biggest cost. The platform codes every reject, ties each casting to its melt and chemistry, and tracks yield per pattern so the money leak becomes visible.
- Melt, heat and chemistry traceability on every casting.
- Rejection coded by cause with yield tracked per pattern and grade.
- Schedule-driven and order-driven work on the same rails, routed automatically at release.
- Configured Zoho + custom AWS where the line needs it, you own your code and your data.
- Melt & Heat Traceability: Each casting tied to its melt, heat, chemistry and pouring record.
- Metallurgy & Spec: Chemistry, hardness and spec conformance held per heat and part.
- Rejection & Yield: Casting rejections coded by cause with yield tracked per pattern.
