1. Casting facility comprising:
a pouring machine configured to pour molten metal in a ladle into a mold molded by a molding machine and conveyed to a pouring position; and
a conveying device configured to convey the ladle to the pouring machine,
wherein the pouring machine comprises:
a plan acquisition unit configured to acquire a planned temperature range of the molten metal for the mold conveyed to the pouring position and a planned material number of the mold conveyed to the pouring position, from the molding machine;
a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of a pouring flow during pouring of the molten metal into the mold conveyed to the pouring position;
a temperature determination unit configured to determine whether or not the temperature of the pouring flow detected by the temperature sensor is within the planned temperature range acquired by the plan acquisition unit;
a material acquisition unit configured to acquire a material number for identifying a material of the molten metal in the ladle from the conveying device; and
a material determination unit configured to determine whether or not the planned material number acquired by the plan acquisition unit and the material number acquired by the material acquisition unit match each other, and
wherein the pouring machine stops the pouring of the molten metal into the mold when it is determined by the temperature determination unit that the temperature of the pouring flow is not within the planned temperature range, and the pouring machine stops the pouring of the molten metal into the mold when it is determined by the material determination unit that the planned material number and the material number do not match each other.
