Fully automated: Every pane knows its path

The machines no longer set the pace alone. Increasing automation is expanding the sphere of influence of software-controlled intralogistics. Planning and optimization software is taking the place of a production manager who plans and tracks the route of the panes through the production. The software manages, controls, and monitors the production processes and provides ongoing status feedback. The pacemaker is the sorting buffer, which makes it possible to combine conflicting priorities in production. How does today's unmanned production work?

Data as a chance for the production of the future

In today's business world, it is not enough for manufacturing companies to simply have well-filled order books. Rather, they need to ensure that their production facilities are used efficiently and consistently deliver high-quality products. The key to this lies in the data generated by the production equipment. Companies that manage to interpret this data in a meaningful way and draw the right conclusions from it have a clear competitive advantage over their rivals.

lis.qualitypass - Traceable quality in insulating glass production

Quality plays a decisive role in insulating glass production. Customers rely on the properties of the products remaining the same and tolerances defined in various standards being adhered to. Production companies can only meet these requirements if they monitor the conditions under which the products are manufactured and take action if necessary. If quality defects occur, it is particularly important to be able to trace how they came about in order to define the necessary measures. With lis.qualitypass, LiSEC provides its customers with a tool that significantly increases traceability in insulating glass production.

LiTEC Accurate: Automated dimension measurement | DQS-A

High-precision manual measurement of glass panes is difficult for rectangular panes up to a certain size - and almost impossible for oversized panes, special shapes or panes with internal processing (such as holes and cut-outs). The LiTEC Accurate quality control station with new suction cup technology was developed to simplify and automate this process.
