Melt-iQ – Enhancing Melting Efficiency with a CO₂ Focus: Klaus Kuhn Edelstahlgießerei Relies on New Features

Melt-iQ is back – with a new team, expanded functionalities, and a clear vision for the future of melting operations. Built on decades of practical experience and proven processes, Melt-iQ is now being further developed: data-driven, application-oriented, and with the goal of helping foundries work more efficiently and sustainably.

At its core, Melt-iQ seamlessly connects technical and commercial data, creating a solid foundation for informed decision-making directly in the melting shop – whether the goal is to cut costs, optimize materials, or reduce CO₂ emissions.

What Melt-iQ offers to foundries:

  • Cost-optimized charge calculation based on target analyses, melting losses, and alloy specifications

  • Comprehensive documentation and traceability of all materials, analyses, and charge protocols

  • Simulation tools for evaluating alternative materials or pricing scenarios using "What-if" functionality

  • Integration of technical and commercial data to align production, procurement, and quality management

  • In development: advanced CO₂ calculation and optimization features for data-based sustainability decisions

A key milestone in our development was the early testing phase at Klaus Kuhn Edelstahlgießerei GmbH – one of Europe’s most established stainless steel foundries. As one of the first companies to trial the new CO₂-related features of Melt-iQ in real production settings, they are providing valuable practical feedback.

“For us, Melt-iQ is more than a standard tool – it’s a true process instrument. We particularly value the close cooperation on the CO₂ functionality. Our specific requirements flow directly into development – and that makes all the difference,” says the Head of Materials Management at Klaus Kuhn Edelstahlgießerei GmbH.


This partnership demonstrates that digital innovation and industrial experience are not opposites – they complement one another. Foundries looking to improve transparency, resource efficiency, and sustainability will find in Melt-iQ a proven, flexible, and future-ready solution.

Whether working with iron, steel, non-ferrous metals, or in recycling – the challenges are similar, and Melt-iQ continues to evolve in step with them.
