Abstract
Disclosed is a method for increasing production efficiency of mold lines where molten metal or other material requiring a cooling period is poured sequentially into moving molds. The invention particularly comprehends the tracking of individual molds and the individualized control of the cooling time of the molds from beginning to end of the line in the presence of random line stoppages and variant mold size.
