Advantages for Glass Manufacturers
Patented Skillset
We’ve developed such algorithms as an automatic pre-act adjust and cumulative error weighing strategy used in batching operations, a melter temperature control strategy used in the furnace, and a patented ACS™ algorithm used to stabilize exit glass temperatures in the forehearth.
Unparalleled Glass Industry Experience
No other systems supplier can match our commitment and dedication to the glass industry. Our engineering team encompasses a unique combination of glass process experience, including PLC and computer hardware knowledge to software programming skills to the design of control systems.
Dynamic solutions
We regularly integrate our systems and designs with the specialized designs of other engineering and construction firms. This flexibility gives glass manufacturers the power to custom-build the production line matching the best systems with the best batching, melting, conditioning forming, inspection, and warehousing equipment.
