The glass industry faces critical challenges with production speed and complexity, as well as overall sustainability. The solutions require digitalization to improve productivity and flexibility across the entire value chain.
Accelerate production without compromising quality control. To keep machinery and plants running reliably and continuously, operators must find opportunities to make processes more flexible, efficient and automated.
Scale energy efficiency and decarbonization initiatives. Meeting sustainability goals in the energy-intensive glass industry requires strategies from process optimization to waste heat recovery.
Meet or exceed strict standards and complex requirements such as automotive glass. Improved process digitalization and transparency help ensure compliance.
To overcome time pressure and increasing complexity, digitalization can be used to enable optimized production.
Continuing innovation in products, production and machines can create opportunities, but it also requires new technology and strategy.
Plant-wide automation supports greater flexibility to optimize production changes.
