Mold information management device, casting system, mold information management method, and storage medium

A mold information management method comprising:

• a determination process in which at least one processor determines whether an identification mark is good or not, on the basis of image data or profile data obtained by capturing an image of or scanning a surface of a mold on which the identification mark is engraved;
• an associating process in which the at least one processor associates the identification mark with information on at least one of history and properties of the mold, in a case where the identification mark has been determined to be good in the determination process;
• and
• at least one of a process for giving an instruction not to pour molten metal into the mold and a process for notifying an operator by an alarm, in a case where the identification mark has been determined to be not good in the determination process.

A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to carry out:

• a determination process for determining whether an identification mark is good or not, on the basis of image data or profile data obtained by capturing an image of or scanning a surface of a mold on which the identification mark is engraved;
• and
• an associating process for associating the identification mark with information on at least one of history and properties of the mold, in a case where the identification mark has been determined to be good in the determination process;
• and
• at least one of a process for giving an instruction not to pour molten metal into the mold and a process for notifying an operator by an alarm, in a case where the identification mark has been determined to be not good in the determination process.
