Emitted Energy and Wollin/AED Spray Technology Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Thermal Process Control in Die Casting

Sterling Heights, MI, JUNE 10, 2026 – At Emitted Energy, we believe the future of manufacturing belongs to companies that can see, measure, and control the variables that drive quality. Today, we are excited to officially announce a new strategic partnership with Wollin / AED Spray Technology. This collaboration brings together industry-leading expertise in die casting processes and advanced thermal imaging technology to help manufacturers achieve unprecedented process visibility, automation, and closed-loop control.

As die casting complexities increase, driven by the rise of large-scale structural castings and Giga-casting, managing the thermal equilibrium of the die has become more critical than ever. This partnership addresses that challenge head-on by integrating cutting-edge thermography directly into the automated spraying and cooling ecosystem.

Driving Innovation in Thermal Management
Temperature is one of the most critical, yet historically difficult-to-quantify variables in die casting. Despite rapid advancements in foundry automation, many crucial thermal decisions are still based on operator intuition, manual visual observations, or indirect process measurements.

The reality of modern manufacturing is simple: You cannot control what you cannot see. By combining Wollin’s world-class expertise in spray technology with Emitted Energy’s sophisticated thermal imaging and process monitoring capabilities, manufacturers can finally eliminate the guesswork. This partnership enables die casters to move beyond assumptions and begin making precise, automated decisions based on real-time thermal data.

Comprehensive Practical Applications
Together, Wollin and Emitted Energy are bridging the gap between hardware and data intelligence. 

By combining our respective technologies, we help manufacturers monitor, analyze, and optimize critical process variables in real time:

  • Spray Optimization: Verify spray effectiveness instantly and identify over-sprayed or under-sprayed areas in real time to optimize release agent consumption.
  • Tool Temperature Monitoring: Continuous measurement of thermal uniformity across the die surface to identify hot spots, cold spots, and thermal imbalances that lead to scrap.
  • Cooling Circuit Validation: Identify inefficient, scaled, or blocked internal cooling channels before they impact part quality or cycle times.
  • Thermal Trending & Traceability: Track die temperatures over thousands of cycles to identify subtle process drift and predictive maintenance needs before defects occur.
  • Process Validation: Document the exact thermal conditions for each shot, providing invaluable data for engineering analysis, troubleshooting, and OEM quality compliance.
  • Closed-Loop Process Control: Use real-time temperature feedback from the die surface to automatically adjust robotic spray durations, blow-off times, and internal cooling parameters in real time.
